Vorige donderdag bij Sterrenwacht Halley, het was helder, en het is alweer meer als een maand geleden toen we de Takahashi opnieuw hadden gecollimeerd dus: FOTOGRAFEREN!
De maan was voor 3/4e deel belicht, nevels zijn eigenlijk niet te doen maar we zijn toch eigenwijs, en hebben ic405 de Flaming Star Nebula proberen te pakken. De seeing was wel ECHT slecht, meer als 2 arcsec. en de dec as stond te springen in PHD, maar het is toch goed gegaan.
Uiteindelijk 2 uurtjes aan data verzameld, heb er toch nog wat uit kunnen halen, het is niet veel, maar we hebben wel bereikt wat we wilden. (Namelijk kijken of de collimatie o.k. is)
Collimatie is echt goed nu, alleen moeten we wel nog finetunen met de afstanden tot aan de corrector, want nu we een filter ertussen hebben gezet kan de afstand weer net 1mm meer zijn etc. etc....
Maar we kunnen wel zeggen dat we zo goed als klaar zijn in de kleine koepel!

The Prawn Nebula IC 4628
There is a total of 3hrs and 20min of 5 minute subs in this image. I'd started using iso400 but upped the ante to iso 800 later, but I tossed all of them in the pot to create the final image.

Info within the pic itself.
Dark and bias subtracted and flatfielded. Processed in DeepSkyStacker, Fitswork and Photoshop. Original size yet cropped.
The air temperature was the coldest since last winter, ~3 Celsius. Transparency excellent at the beginning, yet worsened as the humidity climbed up. The strong moonlight also was further scattered by droplets in the air. In a word I'm very pleased I was able to get the result from a suburban place where NELM was only ~4.5.
No attempt to do photometry with the G channel, as I'll be aware of the unevenness of the galaxy, very possibly leading to a mistaken background subtraction under the poor resolution.
This is a widefield shot showing the large lagoon nebula, smaller trifid nebula, and much more. The star cluster at the top right is M23. This is a stack of 65 pictures taken with a Takumar 135mm f2.5 lens. All shot at 4 seconds, f2.5, iso 8000.
This is the constellation Cygnus, the Swan.

It's too bad that when you want your equipment to run while you are sleeping it starts to fail on you. Out of over 200 images shot in this serie, I only had 2 that I could use, because of a failing connection which cause my mount and guiding to stop working.

The Leo Triplet consists of the galaxies M66, M65, and NGC 3268 and this may be the best I can do given my equipment and the amount of light pollution that I have at my observing site (my front driveway). NGC 3628 (furthest to the left) is showing a hint of dust lanes (it's seen nearly on edge) while M66 (lower of the three) is showing some asymmetry in its nearly face-on spiral structure. You can also refer to the image notes to identify each of the galaxies.
The galaxies in the Leo Triplet may be about 35 million light years away which means that they are about fourteen times as distant as the Andromeda Galaxy ((M31).

Photographed on January 19, 2012 between the hours of 1:22AM and 2:15AM PST from a significantly light-polluted, near-center-city location using an unmodified Nikon D5100 DSLR (ISO 1600, 10 seconds x 124 or twenty minutes and forty seconds total exposure integration time) and an unfiltered 105mm AI-S 1:2.5 Nikkor telephoto lens set to aperture f/2.8. Image stack created with DeepSkyStacker (124 "light" frames and 124 "dark" frames) with final adjustments done in Photoshop CS3.
Camera guiding was done using a hand-driven, barn-door type tracking mount (two boards, a hinge, and a screw you turn by hand).

Combination of 48 images of M81 and M82 with exposures ranging from 3 minutes to 4minutes 30 seconds. I was very surprised by the amount of detail in the spiral arms I could get. This is the second object I've attempted to image now, with the first being Andromeda.

Andromeda 1/30/2015 – 9:06:13 PM, first ever attempt at photographing, first time seeing, 2 mins 30 sec elapsed time, deep sky stacker, PS 5.5, Canon 50D, Tamrom 70-200 at 200mm, tripod self guided, ISO 1600, 1 sec, f2.8. Personal note: Kinda proud of myself. I actually captured a rudimentary image of the Andromeda M31 Galaxy. This is a total exposure time of 2.5 mins. Amazed that I was able to get this with a 200mm lens. I couldn't see Andromeda but was able to find it through the camera. This is actually the first time that I have knowingly seen this wonder with my own eyes. There is another galaxy slightly to the right, M110. By the time I was finished there was frost on the camera.What is even more surprising is the dust lanes are visible. No crop.
This is the same image as one posted a few month ago. However, I have reprocessed it using a technique to reduce the brightness of the stars. Taken on June 6, 2011 near Butler, Missouri using an SBIG8300C camera mounted on a CGE1100 Telescope using Hyperstar (F/2). This is the sum of 7 ten minute images, stacked using DeepSkyStacker. The image was then processed with Maxim DL and Photoshop CS2.

Shot in March 2019. Intended target was M101. Had to switch to M63 because M101 was low on horizon and engulfed in clouds and sky glow. This target was higher in the sky and gradually the subs cleared up. First meridian flip. Guiding went well.

I had another Comet Catalina search this morning. This comet is only just visible on this DeepSkyStacker image made from 39 stacked 1 sec, exposure maximum ISO; f4.5 using a Canon EOS 60D with no tracking. I have also included magnitude values of some of the Virgo objects that are in the frame (values courtesy of Stellarium). I was hoping this comet would show a bit brighter based on the expected magnitude.
