Dieses Bild der Milchstraße wurde aus 8 Einzelbildern zu je 25" Belichungungszeit und ISO 2000 bei 10mm@ f3,5 mit einer EOS 7D (unmodifiziert) und einem Sigma 10-20mm aufgenommen.
Gestackt wurde mit DeepSkyStacker und ein bisschen mit Photoshop nachgearbeitet.
This image of the Milky Way was made of 8 individual frames, each 25" exposure time and ISO 2000. I used my Canon EOS 7D (unmodified) and a Sigma 10-20mm Lens with the parameters 10mm @ f3.5
It was reworked and stacked with DeepSkyStacker a bit with Photoshop.
Manually, off-axis guided for 16 x 10-minutes at ISO 1600.

I love when the International Space Station flies over near the zenith. It usually means it is quite bright as in this magnitude -2.4 photograph tonight. This was taken just after civil twilight ended so the sky was still bright and hence I took three 30-second exposures rather than a single 90 second one.
Got out after 50 days of clouds just to test equipment.
A short test to see what kind of image could be obtained on a full moon with moonlight blaring into the dew shield.

The data for this image was gathered during four nights, 23-24/08; 25-26/08; 16-17/09 and 14-15/10/2017. Imaged through an 8" GSO RC at f/8 with PrimaLuceLab 700Da camera cooled at -5 degree Celsius and -10 degree Celsius, respectively. With 8.5 hours this is my longest exposure series on an object. The image consists of 28x3 min. + 26x5 min. exposures without CLS filter and 58x5 min. exposures with CLS filter. The sets with and without CLS filter were stacked separately using different white balance settings in DeepSkyStacker. The stacking mode was set to auto adaptive weighted averaging. The two stacking results were then combined and further enhanced in PS. Background calibration was carried out with Fitswork. In the end a slight noise filter with Noiseware Community.

The faint nebulosity in the picture is actually our own Milky Way. You can't see the stripe of the Milky way in the image because it's actually wider than this image.
I mainly took this because I wanted to get a feel for how large the Dumbbell Nebula actually is. I've seen it through a telescope, but that's hard to translate to how big something is when you look up at the sky. This image was taken with a plain old 50mm camera lens. The nebula is small enough that you really have to look at the original size to see it. It's quite visible as a blueish dumbbell just above and to the left of center and it's not much bigger than the stars, only a few pixels across... That makes sense since the Dumbbell Nebula is a planetary nebula. When a medium sized star like our own dies, it blows off the outer shell of gas first which slowly expands, making a small, short-lived nebula. Our own sun is fated to do this in a few billion years.
With the help of planetarium software, I picked out several of the other faint fuzzy objects in this neighborhood. Most of them appear as faint fuzzy light patches not much bigger than a star on the original sized image, with the exception of the coathanger.
30 minutes of total exposure time in 17 subexposures, F/4, ISO 1600. Three darks were taken as well. All of it was combined in DeepSkyStacker. Adjusted a bit and added constellation lines in photoshop.

This is not a well-processed photo by any means, especially the overexposed centre of M42. However, I wanted to see how much nebulosity I could capture in a light polluted city sky. I will keep practicing on this photo.

Decisamente un brutta foto, ne sono consapevole...scentrata, poca nebulosità, artefatti intorno alle stelle e chi più ne ha più ne metta!
Resto comunque dell'impressione che il mio maggior problema sia (oltre all'inquinamento luminoso) l'elaborazione al pc! Se qualcuno vuole gli posso passare il TIFF originale e elaborarlo, così, giusto per vedere quanto sengnale mi mangio...
Ho deciso di pubblicarla perchè ho fatto una fatica bestia per farla...ma, ahimè, non è un gran risultato!

Here’s my last image from Thursday night’s Danville trip. The wind had picked up more and the clouds started coming through so I had to limit this one to only 30 minutes. I had to meridian flip in the middle and I was surprised to see that DeepSkyStacker was able to align them without issues. I was also surprised to easily pick up the horsehead with my stock Canon in exposures as short as 60 seconds.

----------------------------------------------
106 light frames were stacked in DeepSkyStacker with 137 dark frames, 120 bias frames, 95 flat frames and 95 dark flat frames. The resulting stacked TIF image was further processed in PixInsight. Workflow included dynamic crop, background extraction, photometric color calibration, noise reduction with TGV Denoise and Multiscale Median Transform, non-linear stretch, colour saturation, removed magenta colour around stars, star reduction, contrast enhancement with Curves and Histogram Transformation, and further background smoothing with Multiscale Linear Transform.
