The Crux constellation and the Coalsack Nebula (C99) captured with an old DSLR.
My Nikon D5000 have a serious issue with its sensor. On the right corner and top of the image we can see it failure. A region of the sensor which does have a lack of sensitivity.
First I though it was a "flat frame issue", but it's not. Darks and bias doesn't help.
Only after a carefully processing I'm "ok" in posting this picture. But my Nikon D5000 is old, and I'm not happy to say that it needs to retire.
I found an empty piece of plastic the other day, on which I had no hesitation in slapping a modded Canon 500D, purchased at a very reasonable price from James Stannard here. There then followed a bit of a learning curve - having been used to a Nikon - which has taken up the best part of two weeks. But I got there in the end :)
This is another collaboration with my good friend Dave Williams from the northern wastelands, who generously donated large portions of Ha, used as luminance.
I will now spend some time trying to breathe life into my Nikon D70 so that I can inflict some considerable pain on the thing, before I eventually kill it - slowly.... :)

The complete mosaic with this globular cluster and its surroundings can be viewed at flic.kr/p/2m84gRJ
Globular cluster M4 is the closest globular cluster to the Earth. It is situated in a very colorful part of the sky known as the Rho Ophiuchi dust complex. You can get a hint of the colors in the background of this image. This is part of the larger mosaic I am working on constructing around Antares. This is proving to be a good bit more challenging than the one near Sadr ( flic.kr/p/tYxubt ), mostly due to so many bright stars in the region. The gradients from the colors of interstellar dust and gas is also a challenge to work with.
The panels of the mosaic are stacks of 90 s shots. This portion includes 3 panels. There are 4 in the i Sco mosaic posted earlier (available at flic.kr/p/2gbsUqJ ). The 90 s shots were taken with a guided Celestron Edge HD 925 at f/2.3 with HyperStar and an Atik 314L+ one shot color camera. Preprocessing in Nebulosity with flats, darks, and bias frames; stacking, compiling the mosaic, and initial processing in PixInsight; final touches in PS CS 5.1.
Image center (J2000) is at

The image spans about 1.5° x 1.0°.
Very early this morning, I had an epiphany, and made a big discovery.
As most of you know, I own a 10" Meade LX200 telescope. The focal ratio of the telescope is f/6.3, which puts it about 15-20 percent optically faster than a standard f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain.
For a couple years, I've had an f/6.3 focal reducer/field flattener for a smaller f/10 8-inch Meade LX5 telescope I also own.
I decided to experiment - and in the process of doing so, I made my 10" LX200 optically faster by 50%. What does this mean?
I now have significantly more light gathering power, at a small cost. The focal length is halved from 1600mm to 800mm.
Not only that, I can shorten my exposure time by half!
This is the first result: Messier 42 - AKA The Great Orion Nebula.
10x5 seconds for the core
20x30 seconds for the outer fringes.
15x5-second dark calibration frames
30x30 second dark calibration frames
10 "T-shirt" flat calibration frames
It would've taken me about twice as long to gather the data to produce this image!

Il Velo del Cigno è un resto di supernova che ha un'estensione angolare di circa 3 gradi e, secondo le osservazioni più precise, la distanza da noi è di circa 1470 anni luce. E' catalogato come Sh2-103 (W78 come sorgente radio) ma le sue parti hanno identificazione del più utilizzato catalogo NGC, la parte orientale è NGC 6992 e 6995, mentre la parte più occidentale è NGC6960.
Per riprenderlo quasi nella sua interezza, ho esguito un mosaico di 2x2, ogni pannello ha circa 5 ore e mezza di integrazione con pose guidate da 10 minuti con filtro dualband Antlia ALP-T 5nm per la nebulosa mentre per le stelle sono un'ora di pose da 60 secondi senza filtri. Telescopio newton 150/600 con correttore Tecnosky 0.95x, camera Tecnosky Vision 571C, montatura Eq6-R Pro, elaborazione in Pixinsight.
The Cygnus Loop is a supernova remnant with an angular extension of about 3 degrees and, according to the most precise observations, its distance from us is about 1,470 light-years. It is cataloged as Sh2-103 (W78 as a radio source), but its parts are identified in the most widely used NGC catalog: the eastern part is NGC 6992 and 6995, while the westernmost part is NGC 6960.
To capture it almost in its entirety, I created a 2x2 mosaic. Each panel took about 5.5 hours of integration, with 10-minute guided exposures using an Antlia ALP-T 5nm dual-band filter for the nebula, and one hour of 60-second exposures without filters for the stars. 150/600 Newtonian telescope with Tecnosky 0.95x corrector, Tecnosky Vision 571C camera, Eq6-R Pro mount, Pixinsight processing.

Taken with digital telescope “ZWO Seestar S50 Smart Telescope” in Mosaic/Framing mode with 62 minutes (372 x 10 seconds) exposure time edited with Luminar Neo, Neat Image and Jpg Illuminator.
I would have liked to expose for longer, but then the high fog came.
Well heavens above - two clear nights on the bounce. I'd forgotten how to do this stuff ;)
My first guided image! :) The Crescent Nebula in Cygnus, a mere 5K light years away.
Bought a modded Quickcam Pro4000, with the adaptor to fit it to the SW 9x50 finder scope, from Badgers/Anton on SGL. Then did the EQ5 handset mod using the kit from Shoestring Astronomy, downloaded PHD and voila. Total cost £90 - can't be bad :) Not perfect of course, but then it was never going to be with an EQ5 and rubbish motors. There was some evidence of wispy bits around this, but it looked more like discolouration, so I took it out - probably expecting too much :)

Partendo dall'originale monocromatico, ho lavorato con i livelli di Photoshop associando i colori dei vari gas di questo stupendo oggetto, cercando di essere il più fedele possibile.
Prossima sessione sarà riprende questo oggetto con il filtro OII per poi integrarlo con il monocromatico di questa foto fatto in H-alpha... cosi vedremo realmente i colori di questa nebulosa.

Here is another deep-sky object from the meet-up on Saturday night (2nd April, 2016). This colourful gem is the Eta Carinae Nebula, for which we southern hemisphere folk are in prime viewing position. At the centre of the nebula is the “hypergiant” star Eta Carinae, which is estimated to be between 100 to 150 times the mass of the sun and about FOUR MILLION TIMES THE BRIGHTNESS LOF THE SUN! The nebula itself is about four times as large as the Orion Nebula, which I posted a photo of two nights back, but it’s not as well known because it’s not visible to most of the northern hemisphere.
This photo was created from a stack of five original images. Stacking reduces the digital noise in the final image.

Clustermania :)
A three hour gap in the endless, persistent cloud cover gave me just enough time to do another one of these things. Nebulous stuff takes several sessions under my light polluted skies, and would take months with the weather being as it is, so clusters beckon.
This is M38, aka NGC 1912, aka The Starfish Cluster (don't ask me why), and to the right is NGC 1907. M38 is about 4,200 light years away and is about 25 light years in diameter, similar to that of its more distant neighbour M37. It is about 220 million years old. NGC 1907 is around 4,500 light years from Earth. It contains around 30 stars according to Wiki (looks like more to me) and is over 500 million years old.
This is a closer crop than my previous two cluster efforts, for two reasons: first, the framing was rubbish, and second, the stars at the edges reminded me just how much I need a field flattener!
I'm running out of double clusters to do :)

獵戶座褔祿壽三星一帶 Orion Belt Wide Field
近日天氣仍然時好時壞，數日前趁著好天氣匆匆的走到深空拍攝勝地試一下新鏡頭。現時初昇的獵戶仍然在較低位置，加上天氣的不濟，最後只能拍到8幅共32分鐘總曝光，訊噪比十分低。但總算為新鏡頭開光， 當作試鏡大家就先忍耐著看一下吧 :)

We had several clear nights on the bounce a week or two back, and I spent the time imaging this thing as Cygnus was still getting up above my house a little late. This is just short of 10 hours, but I put it away because I got the feeling it was out of focus when comparing it with the version I did back in 2011 with the 200p. The stars in the cluster don't look quite as tight as I think they should.
Whaddya reckon? Out of focus?

"Stairway to Heaven"A few nights ago I was out gazing the milky way in the early pre-dawn sky. Twas a windy night at Dinosaur Point and i was tired and feeling less-than creative finding myself having difficulty composing. Watching the milky way in transit, i noticed the center hovering over the hills along the horizon reaching straight upward into the infinite sky. it appeared to be a cosmic stairway to heaven. Click and Voila! This shot really came to life in post, after delicate processing, the colors and details of the milky way make the pre-dawn sky bloom with color. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by:-)
This revision softens contrast and color corrects stars.

Another clear sky, albeit with half a moon :)
Continuing my obsession with all things cluster, this is M67 in Cancer. Apparently there are few Galactic clusters known to be older (this is something like 4 billion years old), and none of them are as close as M67, so it is the subject of much study (according to Wiki). Slight variation in the spikes on this one, just to ring the changes :) A little noisy, but I had some trouble retaining the colour so decided to put up with it.

Just before the Event Horizon Telescope started its imaging run on the supermassive black hole at the center of M87, I was imaging the same region of the sky with my Celestron Edge HD 925. The galaxy in question, M87, is in the lower left corner of this image. It is the closest Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) to us, and it shows a relativistic jet when you take enough data to capture that feature.
The other galaxies that cross the top part of this picture are known as Markarian's Chain -- all of the prominent galaxies in this picture are part of the Virgo Cluster. M87 and the rest of the Virgo Cluster galaxies are about 55 million light years away. At that distance, if there was a civilization looking back at Earth, the image they would currently get is of a planet whose biosphere had just rebounded from the Chicxulub impact. However, any such image is exceedingly unlikely. On the full size scale of this image (1684x2408 pixels), the supermassive black hole would be 16 millionths of a pixel in size. That black hole is roughly 3 million times the diameter of the Earth. Using a radio telescope the size of the Earth, we were just able to resolve the black hole.
This image is a mosaic of 4 separate tiles. Each of those is a stack of 4 minute exposures. Images were shot with an Edge HD 925 at f/2.3 with Hyperstar and an Atik 314L+ color CCD. Preprocessing was done in Nebulosity. The stacking, initial processing, and mosaic composition was done in PixInsight. Final processing was done in PixInsight and PS CS 5.1.
The image center (J2000) is at:
RA 12h 29m 9s
DEC +13° 0' 17"
The image spans 1° 10' by 1° 40'.
There are 14 galaxies with NGC designations, and about 100 galaxies in total visible in the picture.
Taken with a TMB92L, Canon T3i DSLR, Orion SSAG autoguider and 50mm guidescope, and Celestron AVX mount. Consists of 42 120-second light frames and 45 120-second dark frames, all at ISO 800, as well as 32 flat and 50 bias frames.

Another ellipsoidal collection of stars leftover from the formation of the Milky Way Galaxy. Part of why the center appears so dense is that, at over 11 kpc, the center is farther away than the center of our galaxy.

This is a portion of the dust complex just north of Antares, in Scorpius. The blue reflection nebula at the left surrounds the star i Sco. This is a mosaic of 4 panels which consist of stacks of 90 s subframes. My intention is to expand upon this later. Here is the final version.

Much needed reprocess :)
This is a pigging thing! Either my skies ain't up to it or the ED80 is too slow, but this is 11 hours of hard work (well, sort of) and required no small amount of encouragement during processing. And the noise you wouldn't believe!
Unlikely to get the opportunity to add to it this year, so maybe next :)
No apology for the spikes - they hide a multitude of sins, and it is a christmas tree after all :)

Since my processing methods have improved somewhat I thought I'd go back and revisit a gem I shot last summer. This is a composite of all data I acquired on the Dumbbell Nebula. Shot over the months of July, August and September. Dates of acquisition being 7/29, 8/11, 8/25, 9/11, and 9/25. A combined total of almost an hour's worth of imaging data. Combined acquisition data combined and saved over the initial September 11 master frame.

Have you ever seen the Southern Cross? This famous constellation is best seen from the southern hemisphere of the Earth. The photograph, taken from the cajón del Maipo, shows the four bright stars that form the Southern Cross just above the rock formation in the Maipo drawer. To the right of this constellation, also known as Crux, there is the orange star Gamma Crucis The band of stars, dust and gas that arises through the center of the image is part of the Milky Way. Just above the Southern Cross is the dark nebula of the Coal Sack.
The Southern Cross is such a famous constellation that it is represented in the national flag of Australia.
capture made last April 13 in the Melosas. Composed of a stack of 10 frames of 45sec to iso1600, lens canon to 50mm f2.8.

Alguna vez has visto la Cruz del Sur? Esta famosa constelación se ve mejor desde el hemisferio sur de la Tierra. La fotografía, tomada desde el cajón del Maipo, muestra las cuatro brillantes estrellas que forman la Cruz del Sur justo por encima de la formación rocosa en el cajón del Maipo, A la derecha de esta constelación, también conocida como Crux, existe la estrella anaranjada Gamma Crucis. La banda de estrellas, de polvo y de gas que surge por el centro de la imagen es parte de la Vía Láctea. Justos arriba de la Cruz del Sur está la oscura nebulosa del Saco de Carbón.
La Cruz del Sur es una constelación tan famosa que está representada en la bandera nacional de Australia.

The Danjera Dam near Nowra, Australia, is a popular campsite and especially so for freshwater fishing folk. Its seven-kilometre long catchment is stocked with rainbow trout and Australian bass and hosts plenty of eels. Also under the waters of the dam are the ruins of the old mining town of Yalwal, where gold was discovered in 1852. A bushfire in 1939 burnt almost the whole village, leaving only one residence, one shop and the Post Office. Completion of the dam in 1971 drowned the gully and with it the area’s gold-boom history.
I have visited the dam a half-dozen or so times in the past two years, including on an ill-fated trip in early November, when I lost the memory card containing my last Milky Way core shots of the year. There were also several photos of M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, on that memory card, so I had to go back one more time to shoot some more. This time I was very careful to make sure that the memory card made it home with me. As well as M31 there are plenty of stars visible in the sky, and a few reflected off the dam's surface, towards the bottom of the shot.
Here is a photo of M31 in the sky over the dam, which I captured with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Yongnuo 50mm f/1.4 lens @ f/1.4, using an exposure time of 8.0 seconds @ ISO 6400.

M51 in the canes venatici constellation. This picture was taken on the 9th of April 2023. 48 subs of 2' with a Canon 600d and cls svbony filter on 152/762 newtonian telescope
I have a better picture of this using narrowband filters now:
This bright emission nebula stands out visually, but even visual observations from a dark sky site won't bring out its full extent. I particularly like M17 because 1) it was the first emission nebula I looked at in my Dobsonian as a kid that made me think it looked like its name (a swan), and 2) the super dark molecular cloud near the "head" of the swan. How dense must that be? Find some images of the nebula taken with infrared light to peer into how furious the rate of star formation is - very well worth the search effort.

Scoperta nel 1779 da Pierre Méchain, M63 è nota come "Galassia Girasole". Si tratta di una delle galassie a spirale più belle del cielo settentrionale e si trova nella Costellazione dei Cani da Caccia. Dista circa 37 milioni di anni luce e presenta bracci piuttosto compatti e ricchi di particolari, specialmente molte regioni di idrogeno ionizzato ben visibili perché di colore rosa acceso.
18 ore di pose guidate da 10 minuti a cui ho aggiunto quasi 15 ore con filtro dual band Antlia ALP-T da 5nm, telescopio newton 150/600 con correttore Tecnosky 0.95x, camera Tecnosky Vision 571C, montatura Ioptron GEM45, elaborazione Pixinsight.
Discovered in 1779 by Pierre Méchain, M63 is known as the "Sunflower Galaxy". It is one of the most beautiful spiral galaxies in the northern sky and is located in the constellation of Canes Venatici. It is about 37 million light years away and has rather compact arms rich in details, especially many regions of ionized hydrogen clearly visible because of their bright pink color.
18 hours of 10-minute guided exposures to which I added almost 15 hours with a 5nm Antlia ALP-T dual band filter, 150/600 newton telescope with Tecnosky 0.95x corrector, Tecnosky Vision 571C camera, Ioptron GEM45 mount, Pixinsight processing.

Sh2-114, also known as ‘The flying Dragon Nebula’ is a complex and unusual HII emission region in the constellation of Cygnus. Its complex, wispy structure is likely the result of winds from hot, massive stars interacting with the magnetic fields in the interstellar medium, but very little is known about it.
This image is a 2-panel mosaic, generated with observations in Ha and SII data and combined as HSS, with RGB stars.
