The Helix is very difficult to image from my latitude and location, as it is very close to the Southern horizon and then only visible for a very short time due to obstructions. Hence the image is still rather noisy, despite a total of 2 hours & 41 minutes of exposure.

21 manually-guided exposures of between 4 to 10 minutes were taken in 2009, 2010 & 2012; registered and stacked in DeepSkyStacker software.

Finalmente mi son deciso ad elaborare una serie di immagini scattate questa estate sul Pollino.

Sono 11 scatti per un totale di esposizione di poco più di 27 minuti, il tutto elaborato con Deep Sky Stacker.

Combined two short sessions worth of data here, total of 19x300s lights. Calibrated with darks, flats, and bias, stacked in DeepSkyStacker. Processed in StarTools, curves manipulation in GIMP, final denoise in AstraImage.

It's really amazing the difference between these faint single exposures and a quick and dirty stacking of them where you can see so much more.

Sh2-142 , chiamata anche Nebulosa Mago è una nebulosa a emissione visibile nella costellazione di Cefeo. Si individua nella parte centro-meridionale della costellazione, prolungando la linea che congiunge le stelle ζ Cephei e δ Cephei e deviando poco verso sud; il periodo più indicato per la sua osservazione nel cielo serale ricade fra i mesi di luglio e dicembre ed è notevolmente facilitata per osservatori posti nelle regioni dell'emisfero boreale terrestre, dove si presenta circumpolare fino alle regioni temperate calde. Sh2-142 è una regione H II situata sul Braccio di Perseo, distanza 11530 anni luce. Appare legata al giovane ammasso aperto NGC 7380.

Though the photo was shoot in early summer, I can still remember the chilly wind outside. It was a mountain about 200 miles to the west of the city of Shanghai. Due the the latitude, the Milky way center is not as high in the sky as in Australia, so the unclean atmosphere affected the picture a lot. Thanks to the later process on computer, I get rid of most of them. But the noise is still there, I have to push the image, drag the curve to make it brilliant. It is not comparable to some masterpieces I saw online, the geographic condition is not good enough, the camera is lower level, the lens is so cheap($70) and poor quality, don't even talk about the equatorial mount which is no more than $80 in total and I need my eyes to guided the star, but after long times of guiding and several days of computer processing, everything became magic, I will love it forever.

An improvement from my previous attempt

Due to me feeling like crap and the sky being dominated by the moon, I thought I'd go over the frames I took last month with the 20D. Only had 12 frames (2 min and 3min)but DSS has produced a much better image than I was able to achieve before. I especially like the detail in the core of the Nebula (not blown out at all).
