I've decided to take more photos, and stack them.

So, this is my result by 131 x 2,5 sec light frames and 15 dark frames.

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 is my first Orion Nebula of the season. I used my smaller 6" Newton to capture it. In the next weeks i try to use the 10" to get a detailed picture of the center of the nebula.

This is my first time using the H-Alpha Version of my Canon 60Da. Great to see it captures the H-Alpha lines so well. Barnard 33 is one of the most amazing objects is captured so far, I hope you enjoy the picture !

Leo Triplet (M65, M66, NGC3628), 03/17/2021

Galaxy season is here. In Spring most of the nebulas set too early to photograph so attention turns to distant and dim galaxies. For my current setup this is unfortunate because I have wrong field of view for tiny galaxies. But a YouTube channel I watch (Chuck’s Astrophotography) did this group using the same telescope I have so I gave it a go. Thanks Chuck! I did spend a lot of time on this so I would have enough detail to crop it in a bit. So, I give you the Leo Triplet, unsurprisingly found in the constellation Leo. These gravitationally bound galaxies are approximately 35 million lights years from you.

The Rosette Nebula is a large spherical H II region around open cluster NGC 2244. The stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter. The cluster and nebula lie at a distance of some 5,000 light years from Earth and measure roughly 130 light years in diameter.
