The North American Nebula is a red emission nebula situated in the constellation Cygnus. Its name comes from its uncanny resemblance to the continent of North America. It is an area of new star formation in our Milky Way Galaxy. The nebula is composed of hydrogen gas and interstellar dust. It glows red because nearby stars stimulate the hydrogen gas to glow with their intense radiation from those stars striking the gas.
The nebula is located about 1,600 light-years from Earth. The distance across the widest span of the nebula is about 100 light-years. This is an enormous object considering the comparison that the distance from the Sun to the nearest star is about 4 light-years.
A Canon XSi camera with a Canon EF 200mm lens set to f/4 and an Astonomik Clip LPS filter were used to capture the image. The camera was set at ISO 1600. The camera was mounted on an Astrotrac computerized tracking mount. 60x60sec Lights were taken. No Flats were used. Post-processing was accomplished with DSS and GIMP.
I finally got DSS (DeepSkyStacker) working :-)
These are the first two real attempts of some deep sky objects.
New pictures of the Triangulum Galaxy and new processing skills. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

SH 290 as seen from the nights of Feb 8 to 17 2013 in the back yard. This is from a stack of subs collected to test flexure. I'd selected this target because it crossed the meridian at a time when I could get the scope set up and let it run. I was more interested in seeing the trailing of the stars and if I managed to get some nebulosity, great.
I threw a stack of subs at DSS to see what would stick and it gave me 76 that qualified for a total of 25 hours 26 minutes of integration time.
As could be seen from the earlier screenshots of the PI window, there was some data visible but it was hiding deeply, just above the skyglow. The real challenge was separating the useful data from the noise.
In the end, I went away from my normal habit of using the masked stretch script and used the auto histogram tool. That helped pull the lower regions apart so that I could gently nudge the colors from the background. The atrous tool was used to aggressively control the noise -- and it worked well.
I think the annotated image really surprises by showing all the galaxies lurking in the background that I would normally cover by sending the background darker.
I think that this has taught me that there is still lots to see from the back yard. The 20 minute subs seemed to have helped. I could have gotten better contrast by going to a darker site. A more aggressive light pollution filter might have helped but it would have left more noise.
Also, there are some uncontrolled dust motes because of missing flats. Not unexpected given the way I was messing with the camera during these sessions. This was done just after I'd modified it and put the new cooler in place.
Here's the plate solve results from PI:

I took this image on a perfectly clear Christmas Eve night. Pictured here is the Andromeda galaxy (M31), and the smaller galaxies, M110 and M32. The Andromeda galaxy is believed to contain up to a trillion suns, and is definitely one of the most amazing objects to view in a dark sky.

Veil Nebula NGC 6992
Taken at Calstar 2012 on the nights of September 13 and 14 while I was waiting for other targets to rise.
Heavily cropped due to poor framing. I would have liked to include more of the original mosiac, but the amp glow on the edge makes it difficult to smooth out these errors.
Stack of 21 subs of 10 minutes at 400 ISO using the cooled, full-spectrum Pentax K10D on the Stellarvue SV4 telescope at prime focus. Temperature range varied from 24-29C so I had to match darks with groups according to temperature. 100 total darks used to correspond to the range.
Stacking done with DSS 3.3.3 beta 47. PI 1.7 used to crop, annotate, apply DBE, masked stretch, and some NR. Final step in LR3.
I probably will return to this data set to see if I can reduce the size of the stars. There was some trailing caused by PEC and poor polar alignment.

The image shows the Rosette Nebula. It is named Rosette because it resembles a red rose to some degree. It is a cloud of dust and hydrogen gas located in interstellar space. It glows red because highly energetic radiation from nearby giant stars stimulates the hydrogen gas to glow. New stars are being formed in this nebula.
The image was taken with a Canon XSi 450D (Honis modified) camera and a 100mm lens. The camera was mounted on an Astrotrac DSLR tracking system. 88x1 min images were combined in DSS to make a single final image. The final image was refined in Photoshop CS5 to enhance the colors, contrast, and intensities. The image was captured in Reston, VA under light polluted suburban skies in a Bortle red zone.
New version of IC1848 with new material. The cooled monochrome camera increases the image quality considerably.

Heart Nebula (IC 1805), 08/27/2020
Last weekend I headed back out to the Buck Creek campground, this time by myself. The weather was clear and the moon was not yet full and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. I was able to setup my big telescope and two separate cameras to capture images. I’ll post the other pictures soon. It was a successful trip all around.
This is the Heart Nebula and it is huge. If the Heart Nebula was as easy to see as the Moon, it would be almost ten times the size in the night sky. It is found in the constellation of Cassiopeia and is some 7500 light-years away. The lower portion of the Heart Nebula has its own designation NGC 896 and is called the Fish head Nebula. It seems to me that these two nebulae where easy to name.

The moon was almost full but the other conditions were good. No rain, no cloud, a bit windy and a bit cold. 51 subs of 60" with Canon eos 600d on sharpstar 61 edph II. Capture with NINA and processing with SIRIL 1.2.
Eagle Nebula (M16), 07/09/2020
We had a new moon and clear skies at the same time last weekend so there was no way I was passing up that opportunity. I hooked up the RV, kissed my wife goodbye, and headed to the hills to catch some photons! Things mostly went well, mostly. As I started to setup my gear at dusk, I realized I had forgotten a critical usb cable. This meant I needed to huck all the expensive equipment into the RV and run into town. This was a two-hour round trip to Wally World and back. Then re-setup the telescope and let it run into the wee hours of the night.
This is the Eagle Nebula, an object I have shot several times before, but this time I used a fancy light pollution filter. This filter makes it possible to process the data in a simulated Hubble Telescope color palette. Short explanation is that the filter separates the hydrogen-alpha (red) and the oxygen-III (blue) light-wavelengths into separate color channels during image processing.
The Eagle Nebula is a 5.5-million-year-old cloud of molecular hydrogen gas and dust stretching approximately 70 light years by 55 light years. It lies about 6,500 light-years away. The “Eagle” itself in the center is the famous Hubble image, “The Pillars of Creation”.

GREAT ORION NEBULA: The Orion nebula, also known as M42, is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky. It is situated in the Orion on the south of Orion's belt. It lies 1350 ly away, it has 24 ly in diameter and it's visible with the naked eye also from cities. This pic of the nebula I took from Turnov observatory through a big 16-inch telescope, but during the moonlight. It's incredible that if you have such good equipment, the 10-second exposure is enough like in my case. Now the nebula is visible all night so it's a great opportunity to take this beauty of space. Fingers crossed for your attempts and clear skies.

The Sombrero Galaxy (M104), 04/18/2021
Like I said in my last photo, its galaxy season, lol. A few weeks ago, I took my gear up into the woods and was able to capture lots of images while in the dark skis. I have always wanted to photography this galaxy, but it is really small and far away (31 million light-year), but I did it anyways. This picture is cropped in a lot. The Sombrero Galaxy is almost perfectly edge on to our field of view, so the dust lanes really pop. It also contains one of the biggest super-massive black holes ever discovered.

This was my major target and effort for Calstar 2012. Taken over a series of 3 nights from September 13-16. My first evening under the stars had the camera rotated in the wrong position, so I couldn't use the subs very well. Because the camera position varied from evening to evening, this became an exercise in making a mosaic as well.
Because of the mosaic layout, amp glow from the camera was a big problem. My previous efforts to use DSS and PI to calibrate and stack were not able to sufficiently remove the glow. In the end, I loaded up Maxim, pointed it at darks that were in the temperature range of the lights and let it do a full calibration. The stacking of the resulting 59 fit files were done in DSS 3.3.3 beta 47 as a Sigma Clip. Processing was done in PI where I cropped, DBE, masked stretch, NR, and then a small MT to tighten up the stars. Brought the images into LR3 for touches to fix the blue halos in the bright stars (artifacts from calibration) and some final lines from the mosaic.
Final stack of 59 lights of 10 minutes at 400 ISO. Calibrated in Maxim with 63 darks, 27 flats, and 55 bias. Shot with the full-spectrum Pentax K10D camera with the cooler attached giving temps ranging from 19-21C. Telescope was a Stellarvue SV4 guided with Maxim using Orion SSAG on SV70ED. All used on a Losmandy G-11.

Lessons learned: Maxim does a good job with non-linear amp glow areas. I'll be going back to some of my problematic subs to recalibrate. I'll have to see what I can do to fix the blue rings in the bright stars as calibration doesn't seem to control these well.

Avec l'amas du Lion (Abell 1367), c'est l'un des deux amas majeurs qui constituent le superamas de la Chevelure de Bérénice
La région centrale est dominée par deux galaxies elliptiques géantes : NGC 4874 et NGC 4889.
Comme il est courant pour les amas de cette richesse, les galaxies sont très majoritairement elliptiques et de type S0, avec seulement quelques spirales plus jeunes dont beaucoup sont probablement situées en périphérie de l'amas.

An old set of data that I've brought back for a revisit. This is based only on a small number of lights, captured back in September 2010. This was done with an unmodified Pentax K10D camera, which for this target is not a problem given the colors available.
Again, taken with my standard setup of the Stellarvue SV4, flattener, K10D. Baader Moon and Skyglow filter used. Guided with the Stellarvue SV70ED and SSAG with PHD.
Stacked with DSS using dark optimization because I didn't have darks at the right temperature.
Lights: 5 frames (ISO: 400) - total exposure: 50 mn 10 s
Darks: 3 frames (ISO : 400) exposure: 10 mn 4 s
Extensive work in PI with DBE to flatten out the amp glow. I'm really getting a handle on the tool and what I can do. This was a pretty good image to play with because it's mostly stars with little nebulosity. There's a lot of noise waiting just below the basic histogram because of the low number of lights available.

The Flame and Horsehead Nebula regions after an additional night's worth of data. This incorporates a lot of recent learning.
Recalibrated the earlier data set and added a bunch more lights from Nov 26. Total stack is 31 lights for 5 hours of integration.
There was a big dust mote that appeared to move during flat generation, so these are flawed. Also, there's a big flare. I want to learn how to handle these kinds of corrections earlier in the process so that I don't have as much of a challenge to fix them later.
When I saw the STF after DBE, I could see a lot of dust extending all the way to the edge of the view. However, there was a lot of noise!
I've tried some different ways of handling ACDNR to try to bring it under control. I may have used too heavy of a hand. I may come back to this data set again.

The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. At the time of the explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky, and visible in the daytime. The remnants have since expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, and 36 times the area, of the full Moon). While previous distance estimates have ranged from 1200 to 5800 light-years, a recent determination of 2400 light-years is based on direct astrometric measurements. The Hubble Space Telescope has captured several images of the nebula. The analysis of the emissions from the nebula indicates the presence of oxygen, sulphur, and hydrogen. The Cygnus Loop is also a strong emitter of radio waves and x-rays.

Flame Nebula and Horsehead Nebula as seen from the back yard.
This is a sum of 11 subs taken in the back yard as a part of testing. I didn't expect to get any results, so I'm pleased with the stack as it stands. There are some blown out stars resulting in color shifts that are difficult to control. Also, there are some flares on the filter that are also hard to control.
Still, this is a good exercise in using Pix Insight to control noise, so I'm learning.

I'll be returning to this location in the future to see what more I can get, especially in a darker location and with different filters.
SH 290 as seen from the nights of Feb 8 to 17 2013 in the back yard. This is from a stack of subs collected to test flexure. I'd selected this target because it crossed the meridian at a time when I could get the scope set up and let it run. I was more interested in seeing the trailing of the stars and if I managed to get some nebulosity, great.
I threw a stack of subs at DSS to see what would stick and it gave me 76 that qualified for a total of 25 hours 26 minutes of integration time.
As could be seen from the earlier screenshots of the PI window, there was some data visible but it was hiding deeply, just above the skyglow. The real challenge was separating the useful data from the noise.
In the end, I went away from my normal habit of using the masked stretch script and used the auto histogram tool. That helped pull the lower regions apart so that I could gently nudge the colors from the background. The atrous tool was used to aggressively control the noise -- and it worked well.
I think the annotated image really surprises by showing all the galaxies lurking in the background that I would normally cover by sending the background darker.
I think that this has taught me that there is still lots to see from the back yard. The 20 minute subs seemed to have helped. I could have gotten better contrast by going to a darker site. A more aggressive light pollution filter might have helped but it would have left more noise.
Also, there are some uncontrolled dust motes because of missing flats. Not unexpected given the way I was messing with the camera during these sessions. This was done just after I'd modified it and put the new cooler in place.

NGC 6888 as seen at the Golden State Star Party.
Taken with the modified Pentax K10D camera on the Stellarvue SV4. Baader Moon and Skyglow filter used.
This is a stack of 58 lights of 10 minutes duration at 400 ISO - best 80% out of 75. A ton of temperature matched darks were used - about 15 or more for each temperature. I found that there were problems with stacking the full frames because of non-optimal centering left uncontrolled or over controlled amp glow at the edges. Removed this issue by doing a custom rectangle and a 2x drizzle.
Rest of the processing in PI was easy - masked stretch and then histogram stretch. Not much else needed. I couldn't get the image solver to work on this image.
I'll be going to RBA's PI workshop on Sunday and maybe I'll learn something.
