The Dumbbell Nebula (M27) from the backyard.
This was from my first night of (attempted) astrophotography, so it's not much to look at. It does show a bit more detail in the larger size, though.
Canon 5D through Celestron C8-SGT.
4 x 30min exposures stacked with DeepSkyStacker.
Canon 5D3 with CGEM 1100HD. ISO 1600 with stack of 5 shots at 10 minutes exposure and one shot at 3 minutes blended in the center for washout. Seeing was excellent. Prime focus, manually guided with a dark frame for each shot. Celestron Off-Axis Guider was used with Orion's 12.5mm illuminated reticle eye piece. Processed using Deepskystacker.
Probably the best of the globulars. Here the excellent seeing allows nearlly pin-point stars. Even with only five shots the noise is very good for ISO 1600. We see a lot of the dimmer stars at the edge of the cluster. I used to run 15 minutes at ISO 800 with the 550D so (with manual guiding) this is easier!

Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 manual focus F-mount lens, set to infinity stop and shot wide open.

I shot 31 "light" frames, and a forgotten number of "dark" frames, all stacked together with Deep Sky Stacker to hide hot pixels and reduce quantum noise.
Shot in Big Valley, California, on a concrete slab next to our largest hot tub. Big Valley has dark skies, and plays host to the Golden State Star Party (GSSP) each year, about three miles from our Ranch.

What does the Andromeda galaxy really look like? The featured image shows how our Milky Way Galaxy's closest major galactic neighbor really appears in a long exposure through Earth's busy skies and with a digital camera that introduces normal imperfections. The picture is a stack of 223 images, each a 300 second exposure, taken from a garden observatory in Portugal over the past year. Obvious image deficiencies include bright parallel airplane trails, long and continuous satellite trails, short cosmic ray streaks, and bad pixels. These imperfections were actually not removed with Photoshop specifically, but rather greatly reduced with a series of computer software packages that included Astro Pixel Processor, DeepSkyStacker, and PixInsight. All of this work was done not to deceive you with a digital fantasy that has little to do with the real likeness of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), but to minimize Earthly artifacts that have nothing to do with the distant galaxy and so better recreate what M31 really does look like. via NASA ift.tt/33xOKAd

The Pleiades or Seven Sisters (Messier 45 or M45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. The celestial entity has several meanings in different cultures and traditions.
The cluster is dominated by hot blue and extremely luminous stars that have formed within the last 100 million years. Dust that forms a faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be left over from the formation of the cluster (hence the alternative name Maia Nebula after the star Maia), but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium, through which the stars are currently passing. Computer simulations have shown that the Pleiades was probably formed from a compact configuration that resembled the Orion Nebula. Astronomers estimate that the cluster will survive for about another 250 million years, after which it will disperse due to gravitational interactions with its galactic neighborhood.

Under a dark rural sky on New Year's Eve I tried another shot of the four well known Orion nebulae. The tracking was slightly off (as illustrated by the elongated stars) so I only managed to use three of the six frames I took. Still that's 12 minutes of light gathering on the CCD sensor. There was no filter used during the exposure since I don't have one to fit the 72mm thread on the 180mm lens.
Located 1500 light-years from Earth, this nebula is glowing due to energetic radiation from the nearby star Menkib, the brightest visible in this photo.

North American Nebula in Cygnus (NGC7000, C20)
Image capture: Canon 760D with Sigma 70-300mm APO DG lens - f4.0, fl 70mm, ISO6400, 10s (11.11.18 21:30h)
Perfect focus achieved using a Starsharp2 Bhatinov grating.
I exposed it for 3s too long and got a bit of star trailing (500/70mm = 7.1s). Will remember next time or fix the camera to a guided mount!

The Horsehead and Flame nebulas surrounding the bright star Alnitak at the left of constellation Orion's belt. 70 minutes of total exposure to an Orion Starshoot Pro Color (V1) camera through a Pentax 105EDHF refractor. The system is mounted on an Orion Atlas mount, guided piggyback style with a Vixen 80mm A80SS refractor using PHD software. The image was processed with Michael Herman's personal software and then stacked in DeepSkyStacker and further improved in Photoshop CS3. Images taken Jan 5 2010 from backyard in Sunnyvale, California.
A composite of about 20 frames. There's more detail, but the clouds are smeared out, obscuring much of it.

The moon was almost full so it has a negative influence on the picture. This was my first time i shot andromeda, but i will try again when there is no moon. Also there was alot of litepolution from the city, as this picture is shot from the middle of Oostende (Belgium).
