Was a BEAUTIFUL night tonight, so I decided to go out there and do some astro-photography! Please view LARGE!!
Stack of 10 light frames, 2" exposures at ISO12800, f/5.6 with 5D Mark II + 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS lens @ 400mm
Subtracted 26 dark frames, 20 bias frames.
I'm trying this one more time with a different stacking method to try and reduce the noise a bit more!
Canon EOS 450D prime focus Skywatcher 150 Explorer Newtonian. EQ3-2 mount. 19 lights (30s ISO1600), 10 darks, 20 flats, 20 bias. DeepSkyStacker > PixInsight > Photoshop CS5

Taken on September 25, 2011 near Butler, Missouri using an SBIG8300C camera mounted on a CGE1100 Telescope using Hyperstar (F/2). This is the sum of 8 ten minute images, stacked using DeepSkyStacker. The image was then processed with Photoshop CS2.
Guiding used PhD Guiding with an Orion Starshoot autoguider.
Exerted myself to reprocessing the stacked image as a compatriot amateur pointed out that the colors of stars in the previous result look problematic. Color adjusted according to G2V star. The final result this time looks more pleasing to me.
Images stacked in DeepSkyStacker, further processed in Fitswork, IRIS and Photoshop.
By the time CBAT had already announced an official designation of this supernova as 2014J, no longer prefixed by PSN.

Nights are still quite bright, but its getting darker and darker. I had to wait until 1 am, before sky was darkest.
This is not the best one I have gotten, but it was still very fun to start shooting space after bright summer nights.
Days have been so hot (30 degrees) and night are also warm, so it was fun to stay outside..

This is a cropped version of the wide-field photo of the Andromeda Galaxy. Notice the stars are round?!
C/2011 L4 is getting dimmer but easier to find as it approaches the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Photographed at 8:18-27 pm on April 2 in Cambridge, MA, USA. Stacked from 109 frames of 3.2" exposure each at 190mm, F/5, ISO 1600 using DeepSkyStacker's comet mode. The color bandings in the background came from low clouds and my attempts to manually correct lens vignetting as I did not shoot flat flames for this.

After a long night at Joshua Tree last night, here's the first result! The open star cluster, NGC 2244 and the Rosette Nebula (Caldwell 49). A large star forming region in the direction of Monoceros. New stars are being formed and exerting radiation pressure scultping the surrounding nebula. :)

Composed this image with 30x240s subs for 2hrs of exposure.
Equip: SW80EDBD using DSI3pro (mono) stacked with DeepSkyStacker and leveled using Gimp.
Manually, off-axis guided for 7 x 10-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f/6.3.
Modified EOS 600D & Celestron C8 telescope.
Registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker software; noise reduced using Noel Carboni's tools in Photoshop Elements; curves & colour-balance adjusted using Paint Shop Pro.
The Ring Nebula (M57) from the backyard
Canon 5D through a Celestron C8-SGT
I reprocessed the M57 images in DeepSkyStacker (rather than Nebulosity) with improved results. Also spent a bit more time playing with curves in Photoshop.
I decided not to crop the image, so check out the larger sizes for a better view of the actual nebula.
Stack of 31 x 8 sec. exposures of Orion area beginning at 05:47 EDT during morning twilight, Rochester, NY. The track of the International Space Station can also be seen. Processed with DeepSkyStacker.
This is my first attempt to get a decent result out of the free software #DeepSkyStacker with a stack of 5 raw images (with Canon 5D Mark IV with Walimex 14mm f2.8 at 30 seconds ISO 2500..) over #Scheyern monastery (#klosterScheyern). With the light polution heading south, I was hoping to get more Milky Way to be visible, but it only gets visible after monstrous post-processing in Photoshop and Lightroom.
Given the fact that the road was almost pitch dark, I think the result is not too bad after all. To get a darker sky I would need to drive quite a bit. The nice thing is that the obvious noise at ISO 2500 is almost gone with that many stacked shots. #MedianStack

histogram tweaks, curves
i had taken about 90 minutes worth of 60s exposures intending to make a movie. i'm still struggling with doing a histogram transformation on these 90 images in some automatic way. so i thought i'd stack some of them and see what i could get out of them in a still image.
This is a shot of the nebula around the star Sadr in Cygnus, sometimes known as the 'Butterfly Nebula'.
This shot was taken in November 2011 but I've been re-editing and tweaking it the last month or so.
This shot was taken from my imaging site in a lowly car park in Ispwich, Suffolk... full details are:

This is M20, the Trifid Nebula. It's interesting because the pink and blue colors are very distinct when imaging this target. This lies in the dense star fields of Sagittarius and lies close by to M8, the Lagoon Nebula, and at the top of the image, M21, which got cut off when I cropped it. This is a result of over 30 minutes of exposures.
