Well the skies have not played ball for a couple of days so I thought I would setup all the kit to see how it all fits together and check the balance etc.
First impressions, pretty good!
Eventually i could do with getting Alt/Az head and counterweight arm but for now will do.
Field flattener not shown as its on back order....

Processed in DSS (DeepSkyStacker) and Startools. The planetary nebula NGC2438 (mag 10.8) is already clearly visible on the 60 sec sub.
The Leo Triplet is a group of galaxies a mere 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo (not surprisingly). It consists of galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628.
Had a lot of trouble with this. My recently overhauled mount, which I was so proud of, decided to go back to how it was before, or worse, so I had to bin 32 of the 60 subs I took. Also had terrible amp glow so this is quite severely cropped to get rid of it. For some reason the darks didn't do their job. Anyway, not a bad result considering the short exposure.

La nebulosa de Orión, también conocida como Messier 42, M42, o NGC 1976, es una nebulosa difusa situada al sur del Cinturón de Orión. Es una de las nebulosas más brillantes que existen, y puede ser observada a simple vista sobre el cielo nocturno. Está situada a 1.270±76 años luz de la Tierra, y posee un diámetro aproximado de 24 años luz. Algunos documentos se refieren a ella como la Gran Nebulosa de Orión, y los textos más antiguos la denominan Ensis, palabra latina que significa "espada", nombre que también recibe la estrella Eta Orionis, que desde la Tierra se observa muy próxima a la nebulosa.
La nebulosa de Orión es uno de los objetos astronómicos más fotografiados, examinados, e investigados. De ella se ha obtenido información determinante acerca de la formación de estrellas y planetas a partir de nubes de polvo y gas en colisión. Los astrónomos han observado en sus entrañas discos protoplanetarios, enanas marrones, fuertes turbulencias en el movimiento de partículas de gas y efectos fotoionizantes cerca de estrellas muy masivas próximas a la nebulosa.

IC 2118 (also known as Witch Head Nebula due to its shape) is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby supergiant star Rigel in the constellation of Orion. It lies in the Orion constellation, about 900 light-years from Earth.

Edited in Rawtherapee. It seems like the processing gets rid of all the EXIF data, is there a way to restore it?
Any constructive ccomments welcome.
In the constellation of Taurus the Bull resides The Seven Sisters. Or, the Pleiades star cluster. Also known as M45 in the Messier Catalog. The Japanese call it Subaru. The eponymous car company's logo is a stylized Seven Sisters.
This is a stack of eight 2-minute exposures. I bought Noel Carboni's Astronomy Actions pack tonight. This is the first image I tried it with. The bluish glow around the bigger stars is what is known as a reflection nebula. Or, more likely it is overflow of the photo sites on the camera sensor caused by the brightness of the larger stars. If it is to be interpreted as the reflection nebulae, then only the brighter portions of the nebulae can be seen through the light pollution from my backyard. There was also a thin layer of clouds so it was not completely transparent seeing.
The Pleiades, or seven sisters, (Messier object 45) are an open star cluster containing relatively young hot blue stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
The cluster is dominated by hot blue stars that have formed within the last 100 million years. Dust that forms a faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be left over from the formation of the cluster (hence the alternate name Maia Nebula after the star Maia), but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium that the stars are currently passing through.

Stoked about how this one came out! The size of the nebula is perfect for the field of view of my telescope. It's super sharp with tons of detail despite the stock camera. Way more then my previous image of this object. Next month I'll have to get the western portion.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - On July 29th, Comet C/2014 E2 Jacques passed through a photogenic area of Auriga. In the field of view were star clusters and nebulas. The tail was very faint, although the coma was easy to find in a telescope. This is a stack of 8 2.5 minute exposures with a Takumar 135mm lens at f/4 and ISO 800. An iOptron Skytracker was used to track the stars.
This image is a composite of one shot for the foreground and for the sky over thirty exposures at ISO1600 and 55 second.
Well, it's not a new one! :)
And it is cloudy out there - I need something to do when it's dark. ;)
I've reprocessed this in an attempt to bring out a little more of the brown colour in the dust. Seems to have worked, although it's now starting to look a little "in ya face" again.
I may take this down tomorrow! :)
Very pleased with the core of this - you can almost make out the four stars of the trapezium.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - Comet C/2012 K1 PanSTARRS is still quite small and was around magnitude 8 when this was taken. But it was easy to spot in my 8" dobsonian telescope. This comet is moving closer to the sun each day and it won't be easy to see again until September. Hopefully by then it will be a little brighter. This is a stack of 11 2-minute, iso 1600 exposures with a Takumar 135mm f2.5 lens. An iOptron Skytracker was used to track the stars. This was taken at Sand Ridge State Forest, which has moderately dark skies.
Celestron CGEM 1100HD, Canon 5D3 using EF 70-200mm/f2.8L IS II set at 200mm (scope mounted)at ISO 400 and f2.8.
25 images were taken at 5 minutes per with dark frames for each. Images were stacked using DeepSkyStacker (which found over 65,000 stars in each image!) and then post-processed in GIMP. With 25 images that reduces noise by a factor of five (~2 stops or equivelent ISO of around 100 starting with 400). At 200 mm the area covered was considerably more than the Nebula so about 1/4th of the image was used. Even at that, the lens did a terrific job in capturing the detail. Additional noise reduction in the darker areas was achieved by converting the final image from RGB to YUV and then Gaussian filtering the U/V channels then converting back to RGB.
You can see why they call it "The North America Nebula" - top-center down to center looks like the North American Continent (gulf of mexico and all!). To it's right is the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070).
I used the telescope to do tracking while the scope-mounted camera and lens did the photographing. I had brought along my Canon 60A so I could take this without the IR filter of the 5D3 but forgot the adapter to connect the timer into the 60A (the two cameras use different plugs... thanks Canon!). The reason the IR filter is important is because the reds are H II regions and they emit close to IR frequencies (656 nm) - the 5D3 IR filter reduces them by a factor of 6! The 60A is specially designed to not reduce these reds (by much anyway).

As always best viewed large on black.
Despite the title, this is my quadzillionth (and last) reprocess of this thing. The problem I have with this is bringing out what detail there is in the galaxy without completely bloating the stars, particularly those stars overlaying the galaxy itself - they have similar tonal values. This is about as good as it's going to get. Taken with a 200mm zoom lens and heavily cropped, I shouldn't be expecting miracles! :)

The Orion Nebula, M42
This is the result of stacking 47 30-sec long exposures taken with a Tamron SP 65B 400-mm prime lens with a 1.4x teleconverter at f/5.6 in front of a Nikon D7000 at ISO1600 riding piggyback on a polar-aligned 8" Celestron SCT. I used DeepSkyStacker to combine the images. The resulting 32-bit TIFF was then further edited with Photoshop and Topaz Adjust to enhance local contrast and colour.
Piggybacked my 314L and Sigma 70-300mm lens (set at 135mm) to the main scope to capture 10 subs at 5 minutes each of the Californian nebula in Perseus using an Ha filter. Stacked in Deepskystacker and processed in Nebulosity 4 and Photoshop.
Image taken 29/12/16
An untracked/unguided, short-exposure view of the planet Mars and the central portion of the constellation Leo the Lion which also includes the so-called M96 Group of galaxies (M105, M96, M95, NGC 3384, and others). I've identified with crosshairs the faint and small cores of these galaxies which are best seen in the Flickr light box or at full image size (press the "L" key to enter the Flickr light box and then click through to the "View all sizes" pane).
Stars down to and slightly below the 12th magnitude were recorded in this image as verified with the Cartes du Ciel star charting software (highly recommended free download). This image has been rotated slightly from the original capture to place north toward the top of the frame (approximately). To use as a finder chart for these galaxies note that this is a non-inverted, non-reversed image as would be seen with the naked eye or though a pair of binoculars.
Captured on December 7, 2011 between the hours of 4:20AM and 4:30AM PST from a significantly light-polluted, near-center-city location using a Nikon D5100 DSLR (ISO 4000, 5 seconds x 64 or just over five minutes total exposure integration time) and an AF Nikkor 35mm 1:2D lens set to aperture f/4. Image stack created with DeepSkyStacker (64 "light" frames and 32 "dark" frames) with final adjustments done in Photoshop CS3. Star diffraction spikes were enhanced in Photoshop CS3 using ProDigital Software's Astronomy Tools.
