The Rescue of Andromeda by Phillip Chee

If you look closely just slightly off-centre to the right you will see a faint fuzzy patch. That's a galaxy. The Great Andromeda Galaxy. On very dark nights you might be able to see it with the naked eye.

Four stacked images shot at f/2.8, 15 second exposure at ISO 800. Processed with DeepSkyStacker.

2010-05-24 - Galaxies M81 and M82 by Ken_Lord

2 4

These galaxies are close by at about 12 million light years distance. M81 is the furthest object that can be seen with the naked eye (under extremely dark clear skies, by someone with very good vision). The two galaxies are interacting gravitationally, M82 is irregular and undergoing massive star formation after passing near M81 around 100 million years ago.

24x 30 second exposures, shot on a Canon T1i at prime focus on a Meade 10" SN-10-AT telescope. Exposures were stacked and processed in Deep Sky Stacker. 12 Minutes total exposure time.

Comet C/2023 A3 on Oct. 21 with a Lumix S5 and Sigma lens by Padre Paul Williams

3

Captured comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) with my Panasonic Lumix S5 and a Sigma 28-70 2.8 DG lens - at 70mm. This was 90 minutes after sunset on Oct. 21, 2024.

I didn't know what to expect, my focus wasn't perfect, and it's the first time I've stacked raw images (using DeepSkyStacker), but I'm happy with the results. I used darktable to edit the stacked TIF file.

- Stacked 10 4-second captures.

Simple Stack - Milky Way Central by Jerome Daly

3

Nothing fancy here, just a simple stack of three unguided images without calibration frames. There was a lot of cloud at Lake St. Peter that evening, so I didn't bother setting up my SkyTracker and just took a few wide angled shots with my camera mounted on a tripod. Each image was shot at ISO 3200, f/1.4 @ 5 seconds on a Canon 70D and a Sigma 100mm ART lens. Images stacked with DeepSkyStacker.

This is a restacking of the previous image processed on just a portion of the overall image so that I could use the 3x Drizzle setting in Deep Sky Stacker to try and improve the resolution of the nebula.

Also tried a couple new tools in The Gimp for cleaning up noise, setting the black point etc.

The photo consists of 30x 20 second exposures at ISO1600 on a Canon T1i DSLR at prime focus on a 10 inch SN-10AT telescope using a light pollution filter. 10 minutes total exposure time.

This is the same stack of photos from my last star trails effort. 40 pics, this time the stars are aligned so the foreground seems to 'move', the tree branches as a result are blurred. Next time I'll try it without the foreground.
