Nikon D3100 - Nikon NIKKOR-H Auto 50mm f/2 @ f2 / f2,8 / f4
Procesado con DeepSkyStacker + Adobe Photoshop CS6
15' de exposición (4 lights).
Traveling 2400 yrs. back in time (378 B.C.): the H-Alpha view of the *Veil Nebula*, the remnant of a supernove 20 times more massive than the Sun.
The picture is a 171 minutes integration of the Veil Nebula using the RASA 8, AVX, ZWO 294MM PRO and the H-Alpha, O-III and S-II Baader 2" Highspeed filters.
The stars are rather poor, with coma and bloating, but I was pleased with the spiral structure of the galaxy.
9 x 4-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f/4. Manually guided off-axis. Modified EOS 600D & Revelation 12" Newtonian reflector telescope.

This has been relegated to my "Not good Astro!" set, and has been reprocessed here!
Continuing my current love affair with all things Cygnus, I thought I'd have a crack at the Milky Way up there. This was my first attempt at this, and it wasn't as easy as I was expecting. This is also a first inasmuch as I managed 4 minute subs unguided, something I thought would never be possible with my kit. Best I'd managed before was 90 seconds. Mind you, 18mm helped, but I didn't think my skies would allow it. We live and learn.
Hard to believe this thing runs over the top of my house. :)

Stacked and processed in DSS and CS5, with a little help from Noel's tools.
I'll definitely be having another go at this, maybe at 35mm and f5 or something. This was difficult to process - put it through DSS 6 times using different settings. I couldn't get the stars under control. I would have expected more detail for 4 min subs, but f7.1 and 1000 iso may not have been the best choices.
This learning curve goes on forever! :)

Do you know, I sometimes wish my camera was alive, so that I could kill it, or at the very least cause it some severe pain. But it's not, so I have to make do with kicking the cat, who now runs to the end of the garden every time I set up my kit. ;)
This is a vast improvement on this, but is still lacking in detail because of the conditions at the time (and the kit) (and my processing skills). The eastern veil (northern in this) shows much more detail, being the brighter, and even has some elements that could be loosely described as filamentary. :). Enough of the veil already!

I noticed that C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) and the Pleiades were nicely within the field of view of a 50mm lens, so I rattled off as many 10 second exposures as I could before the fog started to roll in.
Taken the other night, 7 2.5s exposures stacked with DeepSkyStacker Live, and processed in Photoshop Elements and Aperture 3.
Pretty happy with the result for a first off the cuff try.

You really can't miss Jupiter at the moment. It will be in opposition tomorrow and reach it's brightest for the year. And it is very bright in the southern sky at the moment. Even if you can't see the Milky Way from the city you can see Jupiter.

Another test on M13 using a Celestron CPC800 unguided and in alt-az mode this time with my new Sony A7r.

The Orion Molecular Cloud Complex (also often referred to as simply the Orion Complex) refers to a large group of bright nebula, dark clouds, and young stars located in the constellation of Orion. The cloud itself is between 1,500 and 1,600 light-years away and is hundreds of light-years across. Several parts of the nebula can be observed through binoculars and small telescopes, with some parts (such as the Orion Nebula) being visible to the naked eye.
The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 in emission nebula IC 434) is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which is similar to that of a horse's head when viewed from Earth.

After I have spent hours to watch the starry sky, I tried to realize a image of our nearest neighbor galaxy : Andromeda M31.
Wihtout using a tracking mount, I took 64 images (+ 20 darks) that I superimposed with DeepSkyStacker software.
In order to improve the clarity of the photograph, I used lightroom. But the focus is not perfect unfortunately...

Stack of 23x 1 minute exposures of M51 to show the Supernova that recently erupted. (tagged, 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.
I stacked this using DeepSky Stacker, with a set of dark, bias, and flat field frames. I had stacked it in Pixinsight 1.7 but had some difficulties. after stacking I did some processing in Pixinsight and Gimp to make the galaxy and it's neighbours more visible.
Attempt to capture the Milky Way in the Summer Triangle with my shiny new DSLR. Stack of 9 twenty-second exposures with the kit lens at f/3.5, 18mm, ISO 1600.
I took this near Utah Lake (same place as my Andromeda photo). It was pretty hazy and I had difficulty separating the Milky Way from the sky glow.

I like this one the best. The Levels and Curves adjustment in PS hasn't blown out the cores in the Nebulas, and by un-checking the "Re-move Hot/Cold Pixels" under the Cosmetic tab in DeepSkyStacker has made the stars better.

Added about 40 minutes more subs to this one (in 30 second chunks) and went a little less brutal on the processing. Better I think. About 1 hour 40 minutes in total now.

I said my previous reprocess of this was my last - I lied! Having been inspired by Danny Lee (Danny_astro), I followed Anna Morris's excellent video tutorial on separating stars from DSO and processing them in separate layers. This is an excellent image on which to practice and, after several attempts, it seems to have yielded an improvement. The original star colour is retained, the stars are altogether better and the DSO is less forced, compared to my last process. I may be using this technique more frequently in future, as I need all the help I can get! :)
