The Orion Nebula and De Mairan's Nebula, M42 and M43 respectively, as viewed under urban light using an Astronomik CLS Clip-Filter. The CLS (City Light Suppression) is an interference filter that blocks the light of the spectral lines of mercury and sodium-vapor lamps and lets the largest part of the visible light and H-alpha emissions pass. All the important emission lines, as well as the spectral region that the very well dark adapted eye can see, can pass through the filter. This was my first attempt at using the filter and stacking images using DeepSkyStacker. Camera used was a Canon EOS 70D, with an EF 24-105 mm lens, mounted on an iOptron SkyTracker. Location was Burlington, Ontario, 43°19'57" N, 79°46'38"W, ambient temperature a balmy -13°C under a waxing gibbous moon, no cloud cover and marginal to average transparency and seeing. Eight light frames and six dark frames, no flat or bias frames, all shot at ISO 400, f/4 for 30 seconds and 105 mm.

Designated NGC 2264, this is in the Monoceros Constellation (Unicorn), 2600 light-years away. If you angle your head 45 degrees to the right, you can see where it gets its name. The Cone Nebula by the way is that pointy finger looking thing about 2 o'clock from centre a third of the way down the image. Not greatly detailed, but I wouldn't expect it to be for such a short exposure! :)
Taken at the same time (shortly before actually) as the Leo Triplet I uploaded yesterday, it was beset with the same problems. I took 80 60sec subs and, because the mount was being a pig (no disrespect to pigs), I could only use 36 of them - so this is 36 minutes. I've never pointed my kit at an area of sky with so much red stuff before (that's Hydrogen Alpha, Hα for short), so I'm kinda pleased with this. Horrendous coma, but that's a "feature" of the kit, and I can't afford a coma corrector, so I have to put up with it. :)
Might have another go at processing later - this was a bit of a rush job to see what I had. The darks problem I had last night is now fixed - DSS being temperamental!

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...

I was quite happy with result, but when I looked monitor from different angle, I was quite terrified.
I really have to see these photos with good monitor to see are they really so bad..
I tried calibrating system, but somehow it didn`t work like it should have.
Still this is a little bit better than my last one of this.

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.

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.

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.

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.
