Finally got a clear night without the moon around to try out the star tracker again early in the night here just outside Baltimore. It was a little breezy so that impacted the captures. Considering the light pollution the results turned out pretty cool.
Still learning about stacking deep sky imagery. This is a blend of 44 images 90 sec. @ ISO 5000 and 76 images 45 sec. @ ISO 2500. each set stacked in Photoshop using median blend then exposure blended to increase dynamic range, or at least that was the intended result anyway.

A week away from the lunar eclipse now and forecast is for clouds and snow. I'm holding out some hope that could change.
Imaged in floodlight moon conditions, think it was a half moon actually, so detail is lost, but this image is not half bad with lots of subs stacked.

The Orion Nebula is visible to the naked human eye--it is both bright and relatively large. It is in the constellation Orion, in the dagger, which hangs from Orion's belt.
Fifty-one photos, each 45 seconds exposure (ISO 2000, 540 mm, f/11) were assembled in Starry Landscape Stacker and processed in Photoshop and Topaz DeNoise AI.
The camera was mounted on an Ioptron SkyGuider to track stars.
This is a reprocess of my M42/M43/NGC1977 shot from last Saturday night. I wasn't entirely happy with the original process, so I started over. This shot is a labor of love. All told, I'd estimate 20 hours of work went into producing this image.
Taken with a TMB92L, Hutech-modified Canon T3i DSLR, Orion SSAG autoguider and 50mm guidescope, and Celestron AVX mount. Consists of 31 300-second light frames, 25 25-second light frames, and 15 5-second light frames, plus darks, flats, and bias frames. Captured with BackyardEOS, stacked in DeepSkyStacker, and processed in Photoshop.
Here is another shot that we captured last night this is Orion Nebula. The exposure time was set at 20 seconds, we used my new DSLR 600D ESO canon camera attached to our Meade LX90-8-inch SCT with tracking. This is a raw image with no processing involved.
The Orion Nebula is a massive cloud of gas and dust around 1,300 light years from Earth and is located in the constellation of Orion.
The Nebula is actually part of a much larger nebula known as the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.
The first recorded observation of the Orion Nebula doesn't appear until 1610, and this was thanks to the telescope which had been invented two years earlier.
Using his telescope the French astronomer Peiresc noticed the diffuse nebula and noted down his observations, he is therefore credited with its discovery.
Throughout the 17th century many others independently discovered the Orion Nebula including the famous Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. In 1774 the French astronomer Charles Messier included the Orion Nebula in his now famous catalogue of deep space objects, naming it Messier 42 or M42, a tag is still widely used today by professional and amateur astronomers.

Amazing distances up in the sky.
What you see in the picture is how M42 looked locally
some 1300 years ago.
( Some century before the Vikings plagued parts of the Northern hemisphere (My barbaric ancestors :) ) )
It really is a Fascinating time perspective.
How it looks right now at this very moment, far over there, nobody knows (I suppose)
-
Used my Star Adventurer motor on the tripod.
Never used stacking program to process multiple shots, so
it is what it is, a single shot, with its obvious deficiencies in depth and contrast.

The Orion Nebula and the Running Man Nebula must be the most imaged nebulas in the night sky. In this project I wanted to get the surrounding dust and gasses that are not normally seen in most wide field Orion Nebula images. To be able to capture the faint dust and the super bright core and everything in-between I took a set of 3 different exposures to create an HDR image. The image required using a masked stretch of 300 iterations to be able to compress all the details into a workable image.

The Orion Nebula (M42) this long exposure (10 hrs) was taken using luminance and narrowband filters, my Explore Scientific ED 102 mm telescope, and a dedicated astrophotography camera in my backyard.
I held the point n shoot camera lens up to the eyepiece on my telescope- The eyepiece this was taken through was about 50 times magnification.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 light years approx and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features.[8] The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula.

A WOW moment, I saw this huge fireball whiz through Orion as I was imaging the Orion Nebula, I quickly looked at the camera to see if it had caught the meteor, it had during a 30 second exposure. Made my day after a poor winters viewing. Due to the very few clear nights this winter, I decided to image the Orion nebula even though the full moon was present, it was probably my last chance to image the nebula before it sank too low toward the horizon by 9.00pm. A good decision to set up early, could easily have not bothered due to the moon making the sky too bright for imaging.

The meteor, probably part of an Asteroid may well have originated from the asteroid belt around between Mars and Jupiter, exploded in the sky above Cheltenham UK. It was bright enough to be recorded by door bell video cameras. There are about 13 individual streaks the various colors might provide a spectroscopic analysis of the meteors composition, the lowest streak brightens and expands at one point.

This was made by shooting 40 15-second exposures and 60 30-second exposures (all ISO 1600) with dark, flat, and bias frames (20 each).
The resulting exposures were registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker with layer processing in GIMP and noise removal/sharpening with Topaz.

My first post of the year is one of the most challanging panoramas I shot so far. It is my first tracked panorama shot at 70mm focal length and was captured in one of my favorite places, at the Tschuggen Observatory in Arosa, Switzerland. Despite the rather narrow final field of view, it consists of 18 panels for the foreground and 4 panels for the sky.
Capturing the set of exposures in freezing-25°C was quite an ordeal for me and my equipment. Eyeballing the overlap and moving the camera on my frozen up ballhead and with my numb fingers proved almost impossible and these equipment problems made my buy a good panorama head a few weeks later…
Processing the panorama proved to be tough on my computer as well. The photoshop file of the 200 megapixel panorama has whopping 31GB, but the resolution and detail I recorded in the sky is amazing.
The Orion, Runnning Man, Flame and Horsehead nebulas are beautifully resolved and the hydrogen alpha nebulosities in the region are standing out nicely: Barnards Loop, the Meissa Region, the Rosette Nebula, the Seagull Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster are really popping.

Orion, by John White
My favorite constellation is Orion.
I like it first and foremost
because on a cold clear winter night
it is easy to find in the sky.
On a very special night,
far from the cities and stress
you can actually see the Great Orion Nebula
a cloud of interstellar gases where stars are actually born.
With each thought we share,
each story, picture and sound,
we see a little more of each other.
I'm certain if we keep looking,
on a very special night,
far from our daily lives,
we will discover the universe together.

My very first try at deep sky tracked photography :D
Night was clear, but the moon was high so I think I can improve a lot next time :P
I've to upgrade the tele lens because the old canon 200mm USM clearly has sharpness and coma issues...
The shot is tracked with the Vixen Polarie.
Anyway, I'm really happy with this first try :)
Definitely my best M42 so far. I'm really happy with how clean and natural this one looks.
This is a single 10min exposure at iso200 without any calibration frames. I tried them but they just ruined the data. Post processing in PS and Focus Magic.

Before you draw your conclusions about this image, please read the description.
The sky and foreground were captured back to back at the same focal length and with the same equipment from a single tripod position.
The camera position was roughly 2 miles away from the mountain station, and the telescope/camera combination has an extremely narrow field of view of only 1.5° x 2°. The resulting telephoto compression makes the otherwise tiny Orion Nebula appear huge.
Two years ago, I had already captured a similar deepscape, but I was never really satisfied with it. The problem was lacking data for my sky, especially in the green channel, as clouds moved in towards the end of the imaging session.
Of course, I could have recaptured the missing data or the entire Orion Nebula from a different place, but that's not my style. After waiting two years for an opportunity to reshoot the image, I finally got my chance this February.
The weather this time was perfect, which made capturing the sky pretty straightforward, but otherwise, the conditions were still as demanding as 2 years ago.
Getting the foreground in focus with a monochrome micro 4/3rd astro-cam and RGB filters through a 500mm f/5.6 telescope is a real pain. Furthermore, snowcats grooming the slopes caused constantly changing, extremely bright illumination. Considering this, I am quite happy that I was able to capture a usable foreground.
