My Sony A7S was recently defiltrated and I wanted to test it on a classic object from the night sky, the Orion constellation. I have three lenses (Samyang F1.4/24mm, Zeiss Loxia F2/50mm, Samyang F2/135mm) for astrophotography. Here is the result with only 3 min exposure.

I decided to take advantage of the new moon, drag my telescope, and do some astrophotography last night...even with the time change and losing an hour of sleep. I'd say the bit of sleepiness today was worth it to get back into Astro and get this shot of my first time imaging this nebula!
The Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237) is 65 light-years across and 5,500 light-years away from Earth. It is visible in the sky between the constellations Gemini and Orion, in the head of the constellation Monoceros.

I polar aligned my mount using SharpCap Pro. My Sony a7SIII and adapted Nikkor 500mm f/4 P AI-S were mounted on an ADM vixen rail and secured to the SkyWatcher EQ6-R mount. The guide scope/camera was attached to the camera's hot shoe. I used PHD2 to autogude during the imaging session. DeepSkyStacker was used to combine all frames, and the outputted TIFF file was brought into PixInsight using: STF, Cropping, Dynamic Background Extraction, BlurXTerminator, plate solving, color correction, NoiseXTerminator and then the DSO was separated from the stars, and both files processed and stretched separately and then recombined using PixelMath. That file was brought into Lightroom for Metadata and EXIF tags, light post-processing, and cropping to the final image.

First ever Deep Space Object that I have imaged. I recently bought a Skywacher Star Adventurer tracking mount for my DSLR and used it to image the Andromeda Galaxy. Slightly out of focus, but still learning to use a tracking mount for astrophotography.

This is my first time combining multiple nights of data and also the first time I've done longer then 300 second exposures. This image has been tricky to process and I'll likely go back and try again. Some of the stars in my stacked image show some noticeable trailing, but that isn't the case with most of my subs. The stars aren't quite pin point in the subs either though. I'm thinking its some refraction or other type of aberration from the extender. That thing is nice to have for the extra focal length, but it really isn't the best and kind of kills the great optics of the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L. I'm going to try stacking the image in PixInsight. Other's have suggested I use that instead of DeepSkyStacker as it's suppose to do a better job, but I haven't had success with it in the past. Worth another shot I suppose. Still, pretty pleased with this image. I know there is a lot of Ha in this region and that can be difficult to pickup with a stock DSLR so I think I did a pretty good job.
Ha channel only.
Nights have been mostly cloudy and rainy these past few weeks, hope to get some clear skies soon to capture the remaining Oiii and Sii data.

The Crab Nebula (M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus.
At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, comparable to that of Saturn's moon Titan, it is not visible to the naked eye but can be made out using binoculars under favourable conditions. The nebula lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of about 6,500 light years from Earth. It has a diameter of 11 light years.

NGC2264, the Christmas Tree Cluster in Widefield, shot in the night of December 3rd and 7. NGC2264 is located in the Monoceros constellation, some nice objects can be found here: The Cone Nebula, Hubble's Variable Nebula, the orange star cluster Trumpler 5 and some more. To bring out the red nebula, I have combined the RGB with the Ha data shot in the second night.

Here's the same four exposures as the previous one except I stacked them. No dark frames so it's a bit noisy, although you can see the Milky Way as a very faint smudge of lightness.

Just for grins, I dug up all the 30-second M42 frames I've taken through my 80ED and fed all 120 light frames to DeepSkyStacker to see what I detail I could pull out. Looks like quite a bit. There are several seams visible on the right side of the photo where coverage was incomplete. I didn't entirely escape the red stripe problem either...
Comet Lulin, imaged at around 4:00 AM MST on 21 Feb 2009. I think I see a faint tail to the left of the core.
Stack of 40 frames @ 30 seconds each, ISO 1600, taken with a Canon XTi through an Orion 80mm f/6 apo refractor. Somehow DeepSkyStacker can stack the image twice--once aligned on the stars, and once on the comet--and magically composite the two so the comet and stars are both sharp--very cool.
See a video made with individual frames here, showing the motion of the comet.

Location:18 and 29/08/2020 St Helens, UK, Bortle 8

Memories:It was my intention to aquire both Ha and OIII data during a 2 hour cloud free window that was forcast. Alas, the clouds rolled in limiting me to 10x180s of Ha only on the first night. More data was aquired between clouds on a subsequent night allowing me to produce a bicolour image of the Eastern Veil Nebula. I was quite please with the level of detail present with only 2 Hours of integration.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - The Rosette Nebula is a target I've been wanting to photograph for awhile. But my last few tries have been unsuccessful because of the wind. The bright red nebula is found in the constellation Monoceros. On the lower left is the Christmas Tree cluster surrounded by faint nebulosity. The blue nebula doesn't even have a name other than NGC 2247.
This image is a stack of 14 2.5-minute, ISO 1000 exposures shot with the Nikon 180mm f2.8 lens at f/4.5. It was then cropped about 50%. I had intended to shoot more exposures but my iOptron Skytracker stopped tracking after awhile and I had to toss some images that were blurred from the wind. But I'm still happy with the results from an unmodified Nikon D750. I used the Astronomy Tools plugin in Photoshop to help bring out the colors and details.

Here, NGC 884 and 869 are shown. Commonly reffered to as "The Double Cluster", these two Open Star Clusters are reletively close to Earth within our Milky Way. The two lie in the constellation of Perseus. The Double Cluster is a naked eye object for some depending on age and location. Personally, NGC 884 and 869 are two of my favorite objects to look at. Because they are so large, most telescopes have to use low power magnification to veiw them, which makes the young hot stars really POP out from the background sky. Each star can be resolved, looking like a cloud of diamonds against the charcoal gray of the night sky.

The Milky Way over Zion Lodge.
I wasn't thrilled about having the lodge in the photo. If I had planned ahead, I would have taken the shuttle bus up to the next stop to shoot the night sky, and walked back to the lodge (or taken the last shuttle).
I stacked six or so images in DeepSkyStacker, extracting two alignments (for foreground and sky). I also extracted and manually blended two exposures for the foreground.

The images were stacked using DeepSkyStacker and the final image was processed using LightRoom. Quite a lot of work was needed to adjust the background vignetting, as I didn't take any flat fields.
