Here is a quick view of Comet c/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) while I was chasing galaxies on the evening of March 15, 2020. This is just a single 60-second exposure showing the comet as it is traveling through the constellation Ursa Major.
I don’t know about others, but comet stacking has always been troublesome for me. I’ve tried about 18 different settings inside DeepSkyStacker and each the result was very poor (using 10 x 60 second exposures).
Technical Specs: Meade 12” LX-90, ZWO ASI071mc-Pro, 1 x 60 second exposures, Gain 200, Temp -5C, guided using a ZWO ASI290MC and Orion 60mm guide scope. Captured using SGP v3.1. Image date: March 15, 2020. Location: The Dark Side Observatory, Weatherly, PA, USA.

An unguided image of The Wild Duck Cluster (M11) in Scutum taken with SharpCap using a ZWOASI183MC Pro camera attached to a Celestron 130mm f/5 reflecting telescope. Fifty 20 second images were combined and processed using DeepSkyStacker, Gimp, and Lightroom.
Wow. All I can say is that the light pollution filter works as advertised. I was able to increase the exposure to 5 minutes for each light frame using the LPS-P2. It really does block the spectral lines in the sodium wavelength. You can easily see the Flame Nebula just above Alnitak, the leftmost belt star.
This was a quick and dirty processing. I will play around with it some more later.

The Sombrero Galaxy, Messier 104 (M104) is in the constellation Virgo. From my vantage point, it just makes it high enough over the roof of my house to snap a few pictures. The image below was taken on April 24, 2016 using a Canon 6D, Meade 12” LX90, both mounted on a Celestron CGEM-DX mount, unguided. I used a mix of 15-second exposure at ISO 5000 and 6400 to combine 7-minutes of data. I tried several targets, all less than 10-minutes total exposure time so I could test out my collimation of the Meade telescope.
I used the following software packages in producing this image: DeepSkyStacker, ImagesPlus, Adobe Lightroom, and Corel Paintshop Pro.
The Sombrero Galaxy is about 50,000,000 light years away with an apparent magnitude of 8.3.

This is my first time imaging a comet through a telescope. What a beautiful comet! Besides imaging and observing it with a telescope, I also viewed it with binoculars. I could detect it naked eye as a smudge to the right of the Pleiades.

This colorful and diverse nebulosity which owes its name to the star Rho Ophiuchi, includes the bright red supergiant star Antares and composes the closest star forming region to our solar system, approximately 400 light-years away.
The interstellar clouds of gas and dust that make up the complex contain emission nebulae rich of glowing hydrogen (red gas) and blue nebulae that reflect light of nearby stars. The dark-brown areas consist of interstellar dust that prevent any light from passing through.
From the upper left corner of this image begins the enormous dust lane Barnard 44 known as the "Dark River" which extends about 100 light-years up to the Pipe Nebula.
IC 4603 can be identified as the turbulent region that connects the yellow and blue nebulosity. This reflection nebula is illuminated mostly by the 7.9 magnitude star SAO184376.
IC 4604 is the blue nebulosity around Rho Ophiuchi, the triple star in the upper portion of the image.
IC 4605 is the small blue reflection nebula around 22 Scorpii (a magnitude 4.8 star).
IC 4606 is the yellowish cloud associated with Antares, the first-magnitude star near the bottom of the image.
Antares designated "α Scorpii" is on average the 15th brightest star in the night sky and apparently the most prominent star here. It appears distinctly reddish when viewed with the naked eye and lies 550 light-years away from the Sun.
This red super-giant will almost certainly explode as a supernova, possibly in the next 10000 years. At that time Antares could be as bright as the full moon and will be visible even in daytime for a few months.
M4 (Messier 4) is the distant globular star cluster visible to the right of Antares. However, M4 lies far beyond the colorful cloud complex at a distance of some 7000 light-years from Earth.
To the upper right of Antares is the smaller globular cluster NGC 6144.

Die Andromedagalaxie, auch Andromedanebel oder Großer Andromedanebel, ist eine Spiralgalaxie vom Typ Sb. Sie ist im Messier-Katalog als M31 und im New General Catalogue als NGC 224 verzeichnet. Am Sternenhimmel ist sie im Sternbild Andromeda, nach dem sie benannt ist, zu finden. In klaren Nächten kann die Andromedagalaxie von einem dunklen Standort aus mit bloßem Auge gesehen werden. Sie ist das fernste Objekt, das regelmäßig mit bloßem Auge gesehen werden kann.
The Andromeda Galaxy /ænˈdrɒmɨdə/ is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years (2.4×1019 km) from Earth[4] in the Andromeda constellation. Also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, it is often referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula in older texts. The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, but not the nearest galaxy overall. It gets its name from the area of the sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which was named after the mythological princess Andromeda. The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest galaxy of the Local Group, which also contains the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 30 other smaller galaxies.

initial processing with pixinsight 1.5
- normalization of ngc1977 vs. m42 data
- all subs aligned to luminance data
- rgb merge
- combined ngc1977 and m42 data with pixel math to produce a single image
- deconvolution
- histogram stretch (x10) of merged rgb data and luminance data
enfuse:
- HDR blend of all exposures generated in pixinsight
- luminance: hard mask, mean=0.54026, sigma=0.23154
- rgb: hard mask, mean=0.64026, sigma=0.23154, l-star grey projector
- had to duplicate the unstretched exposure 8 times to recover trapezium
photoshop: remove geosynchronous satellite streaks
pixinsight:
- histogram fixes and color calibration of rgb images
- histogram fixes, dark structure enhancement and atrous wavelets on luminance image
- LRGB merge
- chop composite image back into 2 separate images
- further histogram fix of ngc1977 to better match m42
hugin:
- stitch of ngc1977 and m42 images
lightroom:
- fix red/magenta saturation (pixinsight is running without color management... long story)
- crop
comments: the deconvolution is kind of bad... its heavy duty signal processing work that requires more patience than i could muster. as a result i've got some ringing and sharpening of bogus features.
it was really hard to get the two images to have the same brightness even though the exposures were the same. different nights, different amount of moon, different sky transparency all conspire to make two identically exposed images very different.
finally this is HDR so although the relative brightness between m42 and ngc1977 should be correct, the dynamic range of both have been greatly compressed. most other treatements of these objects show ngc1977 much fainter than seen here. but what is realistic when dealing with astrophotography?

The sky was clear last night so I pointed the 'scope at a ghost -- that's what Halloween is all about. This is the Ghost of Cassiopeia through an Ha filter. I collected about 8 hr of data last night and added it to Ha data collected in 2022. I had 17 hr of data in total and the image was made from the best 12 hr, as rated by DeepSkyStacker.
IC 59 is the upper-left part of the dust cloud, IC 63 is the "ghost" in the middle, and the lower lump/bump doesn't have a name, so I think we should call it IC Nothing. Below are a few fun facts about this little grouping.
IC 59 and IC 63 are a combination of faint, arc-shaped emission and reflection nebulae, located about 600 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Together they are approximately 10 light-years across. IC 63 is known as the Ghost of Cassiopeia.
The brightest star in the image is Gamma Cassiopeiae, which is 19 times more massive, 65,000 times brighter, and spins 200 times faster than our sun. The radiation from Gamma Cass is so intense that it affects the IC 63/59 gas/dust cloud several light years away.

I've never been that interested in imaging this region of the Milky Way with my Samyang 135 for whatever reason, perhaps because I can't resolve the Pillars of Creation in the center of the Eagle Nebula (bright emission nebula in upper right quadrant) with my 135mm lens. Even so, the wider field is full of interesting contrasting features. This area is quite bright and colorful relative to other regions that I've imaged recently, so processing was a cinch.
