M16 Eagle Nebula (middle), M17 Omega Nebula (bottom) and NGC6604 star cluster and nebulosity (top) widefield (approx 9.5deg across) of the southern Milky Way near Sagittarius, shot from near Lannion, Brittany - 20-Aug-2014 Zeiss Sonnar Apo 135/2 lens on iOptron Skytracker mount - Canon 60Da camera + Hutech IDAS LPR Filter, 79 frames (60sec) 135mm @ f/2.0 ISO400 - Total Exp: 1h19m + 29 Darks + 29 EL panel flats, stacked with DeepSkyStacker, post-processed with Photoshop CC/Lightroom

Just for grins, I dug up all the 30-second M42 frames I've taken through my 80ED and fed all 120 light frames to DeepSkyStacker to see what I detail I could pull out. Looks like quite a bit. There are several seams visible on the right side of the photo where coverage was incomplete. I didn't entirely escape the red stripe problem either...

Comet Lulin, imaged at around 4:00 AM MST on 21 Feb 2009. I think I see a faint tail to the left of the core.

 

Stack of 40 frames @ 30 seconds each, ISO 1600, taken with a Canon XTi through an Orion 80mm f/6 apo refractor. Somehow DeepSkyStacker can stack the image twice--once aligned on the stars, and once on the comet--and magically composite the two so the comet and stars are both sharp--very cool.

 

See a video made with individual frames here, showing the motion of the comet.

Image taken 9/11/16

I last imaged this object 3 years ago; despite using very different equipment then, this result is very similar. Curious.

Manually, off-axis guided for 8 x 5-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f/4. Modified Canon EOS 600D & Revelation 12" Newtonian reflector telescope.

Memories:It was my intention to aquire both Ha and OIII data during a 2 hour cloud free window that was forcast. Alas, the clouds rolled in limiting me to 10x180s of Ha only on the first night. More data was aquired between clouds on a subsequent night allowing me to produce a bicolour image of the Eastern Veil Nebula. I was quite please with the level of detail present with only 2 Hours of integration.

29 pictures (3200ISO, f/5.6, 1' , 1000mm EFL) merged with DeepSkyStacker.

This shot was almost ruined by a plane flying right through the shot from top to bottom just as I'd decided to brave the freezing temperatures, but I persevered and the shot even coped with the farmer driving across the other side of the valley shining a flashlight to check his sheep.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - The Rosette Nebula is a target I've been wanting to photograph for awhile. But my last few tries have been unsuccessful because of the wind. The bright red nebula is found in the constellation Monoceros. On the lower left is the Christmas Tree cluster surrounded by faint nebulosity. The blue nebula doesn't even have a name other than NGC 2247.

This image is a stack of 14 2.5-minute, ISO 1000 exposures shot with the Nikon 180mm f2.8 lens at f/4.5. It was then cropped about 50%. I had intended to shoot more exposures but my iOptron Skytracker stopped tracking after awhile and I had to toss some images that were blurred from the wind. But I'm still happy with the results from an unmodified Nikon D750. I used the Astronomy Tools plugin in Photoshop to help bring out the colors and details.

Here, NGC 884 and 869 are shown. Commonly reffered to as "The Double Cluster", these two Open Star Clusters are reletively close to Earth within our Milky Way. The two lie in the constellation of Perseus. The Double Cluster is a naked eye object for some depending on age and location. Personally, NGC 884 and 869 are two of my favorite objects to look at. Because they are so large, most telescopes have to use low power magnification to veiw them, which makes the young hot stars really POP out from the background sky. Each star can be resolved, looking like a cloud of diamonds against the charcoal gray of the night sky.

Exposure68x60sec ISO 800 (1 hour and 8 minutes) though BackyardEOS

Imaged with an AT65EDQ f/6.5 at 420mm of focal length.

The scope rode on a Celestron CG-5, guided with an Orion Starshoot Autoguider in an Orion 50mm mini guidescope, ran in PhD, and dithered with BackyardEOS.

The image is fully calibrated in DeepSkyStacker with darks, flats, bias, and flat darks. Post processing was done in CS6.

The Milky Way over Zion Lodge.

 

I wasn't thrilled about having the lodge in the photo. If I had planned ahead, I would have taken the shuttle bus up to the next stop to shoot the night sky, and walked back to the lodge (or taken the last shuttle).

 

I stacked six or so images in DeepSkyStacker, extracting two alignments (for foreground and sky). I also extracted and manually blended two exposures for the foreground.

Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) as seen from the Lentevreugd nature reserve in Wassenaar in the Netherlands, on 21 July 2020.

 

The image shows the blue ion tail, redder dust tail, & the C2+ green-tinged nucleus.

 

This is a stack of 85 images taken with a Nikon D7000 + 85mm at f/2, ISO 1600, 3 sec exposures (untracked), 8.8º x 12.8º crop, at around 00:45CEST.

 

The images were stacked using DeepSkyStacker and the final image was processed using LightRoom. Quite a lot of work was needed to adjust the background vignetting, as I didn't take any flat fields.

The clouds held just enough to get a few shots of the milky way under the beautiful dark skies of Bon Echo Provicial Park.

 

Here are my first few edits, feel free to comment on some improvements. I'm using Rawtherapee for all pictures, and will be using DeepSkyStacker to try and lower noise down in my next edits.

 

Thanks for viewing!

First Test of shooting the Milky Way with my new lens 50 mm f/1.8.

I was surprised by the brightness of the stars (I was able to see them even with the live view !).

I superimposed 30 photos of this part of the sky with DeepSkyStacker without taking any offsets or darks...

On it we can see clearly the red color of the nebulas NGC7000 and IC5070.

 

Sorry for the bad focus .

Taken through a borrowed Sigma 70-200 f/2.8, lightly cropped. Two 2-minute exposures stacked in DeepSkyStacker. If I had more time with the lens, I'd liked to have done an HDR set (so as not to burn out M42), but alas, condensation on the glass cut my imaging time short. I also didn't get a flat frame, which made processing difficult... once I brought out the Horsehead, the center of the picture was a bright orange blob. I tried synthesizing a flat in IRIS with no luck, and eventually just used a flat frame I took with one of my own lenses, which almost matches.

My first image with my new astro gear. Taken with an unmodified Sony a7R and Astro-Tech AT65EDQ 65mm f/6.5 refractor mounted on a Losmandy G11 mount. 12 x 5 minute sub-frames, 5 averaged darks processed with DeepSkyStacker.

My typical setup for astro imaging on my laptop in the observatory, via UltraVNC viewer indoors on my main PC. Screen capture from my 24" monitor.

 

Another screen not shown, is the one with DeepSkyStacker Live running (essential for the FWHM, Score and dx/dy graphs).

I have a three screen setup on my study PC.

Thank all for your visit and awards.

This is a portion of the Milky Way running through Cygnus, The Swan. Deneb is the swan's tail and Sadr is the body. The wings go out in each direction and the neck extends out of the frame to the lower right.

 

The North American Nebula is clearly visible to the left of Deneb, and it got its name for obvious reasons. Just off the coast of "Florida", there's another, much fainter nebula called the Pelican Nebula. The nebulosity around Sadr is called IC1318... As far as I know, it doesn't have a nice, easy to remember name.

 

Taken with my "nifty fifty" lens, Canon's super-cheap-but-decent-quality 50mm prime lens. 15 exposures, each at 100 seconds (25 minutes total exposure time). ISO 1600 and F/4.0. Aligned and combined in DeepSkyStacker then tweaked a bit in photoshop.
