Asteroid 2004 BL86 passing the M44 (The Beehive Cluster)
26 times 2,5 sec exposures of the BL86 stacked.
I am not really sure if it was worth staying up and loosing all that sleep but here it is. I never saw the asteroid myself. But the strange thing is that is didnt show up on the last 7 frames. It might have gone behind some skies. But the other stars were there so I dont know..
Since there was different data on exactly when it was due I stayed up for 2 hrs and fired of 99 shots every 16 mins.
Anyone knows what happened to it after it passed M44? It dissapeared for me as you can see in the shot here. I have several frames where it just didnt appear.. Strange..

I wasn't going to process this because I had triple spikes around Alnitak following the addition of data from previous sessions and not realising that the camera wasn't aligned in the same way each time! Doh! So I cloned them out.
This looks more natural than my previous overprocessed/clinical efforts, although it needs shed loads more data of course, which I can't provide unguided. 1 hour 26 minutes in total.

Initial crude stacking of a set of 20x 1 minute exposures of M51 to show the Supernova that recently erupted. (Marked with black arrow, Approximate magnitude 14.5)
The supernova just looks like a small faint star, no brighter than most of the other faint stars in this image ... but keep in mind that it's in Galaxy M51, 31 Million light years away from us. The other faint stars are probably only thousands of light years away, and are within our own galaxy. The supernova could be 5000x further away!
Skywatcher Maksutov Newtonian telescope 190mm F5.3. LXD75 Mount. Canon T1i DSLR ISO800.
I took about 50 exposures mostly 1 minute each. Most of them are streaked too much to use even with my low standards, but I'm happy I was able to get some ok 1 minute shots, usually i can only do 30 seconds. I was setup on a cement patio tonight instead of in the grass which may have helped.
For this quick initial view I just had Deepsky Stacker use the 20 best exposures, I'll take a closer look at them in the next day or so and add dark and flat frames to help remove some of the noise and vignetting.
Orion Nebula in Orion - M42. 14 November 2010
Took this in a rush on 14 November 2010 after intending only to view it. The forecast was for fog but that didn't happen until much later. Quickly set up the camera, took 16 frames at 30 secs and 12 darks before the battery expired! Quick recharge and took 20 flats - processed in a hurry so that I could get to bed! Quite pleased with it really.

NGC 5907
Sometimes known as Knife Edge or Splinter galaxy.
It's a spiral galaxy that appears edge-on from our viewpoint here on Earth.
It can be found in the constellation of Draco about 50 million light years away, it's roughly about 150,000 light years from one end to the other. Making it about 50% wider than the Milky Way.
First discovered by William Herschel on the 5th of May 1788.
It's quite a faint object, so best viewed on a big screen.

Interpret has a literal meaning here. Unless we are in a very dark sky our eyes cannot see this scene fully in all its natural beauty. Instead we resort to modern digital trickery to "interpret" what we cannot literally see. Built up from six 30-second exposures an image is revealed that is the equivalent of 3 minutes of light gathering. What does this do for us? Contrast between the dust lanes in this arm of the Milky Way and literally a cloud of billions of stars. Oh, and light pollution from surrounding towns and cities.

Object Details: The Owl Nebula (Messier 97) is a planetary nebula lying approximately 2000 light-years from Earth. Nearly 2 light-years in diameter, it is the result of the expulsion of material from a dying star and consist of three concentric shells. The inner shell is 'barrel-shaped' and oriented at approximately a 45 degree angle, so that from Earth we see the ends which appear darker and make up the owl's 'eyes'. Estimated to be about 8,000 years old, it spans just over 3 arc-minutes in our sky (i.e. ~ 1/10 the apparent diameter of the moon) and can be found in the constellation of Ursa Major. Glowing at magnitude 9.9, the nebula contains an extremely hot 0.7 solar mass white-dwarf central star which shines at 16th magnitude and whose temperature is estimated to be 123,000 K (by comparison our Sun's temperature is 5,778 K).
A composite containing a wide-field image showing the Owl, as well as the nearby Surfboard Galaxy (M108) can be found at the link attached here: www.flickr.com/photos/homcavobservatory/48892418878/
Image Details: Taken by Jay Edwards at the HomCav Observatory on March 27, 2019 using a Canon 700D DSLR and an 8-inch, f/7 Criterion newtonian reflector, the attached is a stack consisting of 55 minutes of total exposure time (excluding darks, flats and bias frames). The scope was tracked using a Losmandy G-11 mount running a Gemini 2 control system and guided using PHD2 to control a ZWO ASI290MC planetary camera / auto-guider in an 80mm f/6 Celestron 'short-tube' refractor.
Stacked using DeepSkyStacker and processed in PixInsight and PaintShopPro, as presented here it has been resized down to HD resolution and the bit depth has been lowered to 8 bits per channel.
Object Details: M101 is a face-on, grand design spiral galaxy lying approximately 21 million light-years from Earth.
Containing the equivalent of 1 trillion solar masses, it spans about 170,000 light-years from edge-to-edge.
Fairly large, it appears over 28 arc-minutes in diameter in our sky (i.e. approximately the size of the full moon),
and can be found in the constellation of Ursa Major.
The attached composite shows two views of M101 - a 'wide-field', taken with an 80mm apo & a 'close-up' taken with an 8-inch, f/7 newt. Many other smaller & fainter galaxies can be seen in both images.
In 8-inch image, at the very edge of the frame just above center can be seen NGC5477, a round galaxy glowing at magnitude 14.2, while at M101's 7 o'clock position (lower right of the brightest star in the frame) lies MCG9-23-25, a lenticular galaxy with a magnitude of 14.9.
Taking in a much larger portion of our sky, the 80MM wide-field image includes several others. In that image, at M101's 4 o'clock position is NGC 5474, a peculiar galaxy of a fairly rare category known as a dwarf spiral. Being the closest companion galaxy of the M101, NGC 5474's gravitational interaction with the much larger M101 has distorted it, resulting
in the disk being off-center to the galaxy's core. This 'lopsided shape' being quite evident in
the attached shot.
Given the orientation of the 80MM vs. the 8-inch images, NGC 5477 visible in the 8-in shot can be found near the 6:30 position in the 80mm image. To it's left are the round galaxy NGC 5473 at mag. 12.5, and below that the slightly larger and brighter NGC 5485; another round galaxy ,in this case at mag. 12.4, with NGC 5486 at mag. 13.8 at it's lower left.
To M101's upper left at the 10 o'clock position can be found NGC 5422. At mag. 12.8 it is a very elongated galaxy with a (relatively) bright core. Seen here somewhat edge-on,
it is classified as a type S0, which is an intermediate form between an elliptical and a spiral.
As a bonus, visible at M101's 5 o'clock position near the bottom of the frame (and unbeknownst to me at the time) - one of the 80mm subs also captured a meteor flaring as it passed through our atmosphere.
M101 is often referred to as the Pinwheel galaxy, it shares that moniker with the galaxy M33 in Triangulum.
Images of M33 can be found at the following links -

Image Details: The attached images were taken Jay Edwards on March 26, 2019 simultaneously using (left) an 80mm f/6 triplet apochromatic refractor (ED80T CF) connected to a Televue 0.8X field flattener / focal reducer and (right) a vintage 1970 8-inch, f/7 Criterion newtonian reflector. The 80mm was piggybacked on the 8-inch, and the scopes utilized twin (unmodded) Canon 700D / t5i DSLRs.
These optics were tracked using a Losmandy G-11 mount running a Gemini 2 control system and guided using PHD2 to control a ZWO ASI290MC planetary camera / auto-guider in an 80mm f/6 Celestron 'short-tube' refractor which itself was piggybacked on top of the 80mm apo.
The attached composite image was constructed using fairly small stacks of short sub-exposures, and consists of only 42 minutes total exposure for the 80MM shot (i.e. 14 subs of 3 mins. each) & 45 minutes (45 of 1 min ea.) for the 8-in image (both in addition to applicable dark, flat & bias frames).
Processed using a combination of DeepSkyStacker, PixInsight and PaintShopPro, as presented here it has been re-sized down to HD resolution and the bit depth has been lowered to 8 bits per channel.
Given the relatively short exposures used I was fairly pleased with the results, and am hoping to capture deeper images this coming spring (as well as taking a little less than 8 months before first examining them ;) ).
Happy Thanksgiving To All! (where applicable)

Here's Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy), which is currently visible in the evening sky. This image, which was captured through gaps in the cloud from Warrill View, south west of Brisbane. I'm not convinced that I could see the comet with naked eye, but it was very easily found with my 7x50 binoculars. This untracked image is 11 x 3 second exposures (taken with a tripod-mounted Canon 6D and 70-200mm f/4L at f/4 and 12800 iso), stacked using DeepSkyStacker. The tail is faintly visible towards the top of the image.
A wide-field view of the Milky Way stretching from the constellation Sagittarius (The Archer) northward to the constellation Aquila (The Eagle). This photo reveals many of the dark nebulae and interstellar dust clouds that obscure both the center of our galaxy and the star clouds that form the spiral-shaped disk of the Milky Way (seen edgewise from our solar system's location in the galaxy).

Possibly my new favorite object. I love the contrast of colors and interesting detail in the various structures in the nebula. This is also where many months of work, testing, purchasing new equipment, troubleshooting, reconfiguring etc. are all coming together. I'm really pleased with this image!
