The constellation Cygnus, the North America Nebula, the Milky Way, and the tops of my neighbor's ponderosa pine trees.
This is 2 images combined by DeepSkyStacker, and postprocessed in Gimp to accentuate the region around the NAN at the expense of the rest of the image. This is my first image with DSS, and I am very encouraged by the result. You can even faintly see the Pelican Nebula next to the NAN.
The stars were tracked with my hand-operated barn door tracker, and the exposure was somewhere between 15 seconds and 2 minutes. I was using a hand tape recorder to note the exposure data, but alas nothing is on the tape. I'm guessing 1 minute.

An unguided/untracked, short-exposure view of the Great Orion Nebula captured with a series of 1/3-second-long exposures using a Nikon D5100 DSLR and a Nikkor 70-300mm zoom lens. This image reveals some of the complex structure in the core of the nebula including the so-called Trapezium star cluster (theta Orionis). The faintest stars recorded in this image are just below magnitude 12 (as checked with the star charting freeware Cartes du Ciel).
I think this image bears a strong likeness to a drawing made of this nebula in 1774 by Charles Messier. It thus might be considered a guide on how the Orion Nebula will look through a small telescope (I've rotated this image by 180 degrees to better match Messier's drawing, but otherwise it is shown here unreversed/uninverted as it would appear to the naked eye or though a pair of binoculars -- after allowing for any difference in image rotation).

With some bias and Flats, that I stacked using DeepSkystacker.
Second Step was to level the histogram of the up and down frames so they coud match.
Then Photoshop, for Level, LRGB assembly and high pass mask.
I try to mask the missing pixel..
And finalise the work with some Level, and colors fix.
Hope you like it!

Probably need a 300mm for a widefield on this, but I ain't got one, so this'll have to do. 200mm and cropped, this was beset with all sorts of problems that seem to be plaguing me at the moment, not least of which was having to ditch 30 subs because the camera made a unilateral decision to lose focus. But, brave little soldier that I am, I soldier on :)

I shot this using a Canon 6D and 70-200mm lens at 200mm at f4. I shot 50 exposures at 2 seconds each and stacked them in DeepSkyStacker. I then cropped the photo. The nebula cloud around the Pleiades has just started to come out - another 50 photos and it might look even more pronounced! No equitorial mount was used - it is the software that takes out the Earth's rotation. I then used StarSpikes Pro to emphasise the brightest stars.

Como é bom fugir da poluição luminosa! Nebulosa Trífida (M20). Acho que esta é minha melhor captura de nebulosa até o momento. É uma região formadora de estrelas que mistura uma nebulosa de reflexão e uma nebulosa de emissão, misturando o azul e o vermelho. A foto foi tirada a partir de um local bortle 1/2, o @campingecachoeiradoscristais sem a necessidade de uso de filtros.
It's great to do astrophotography away from the light pollution! Trifid Nebula (M20). I think this is the best capture of a nebula that I made so far. This is a forming star region that mixes reflection and emission nebulae, with the blue and red colors. The picture was taken from a bortle 1/2 site, the @campingecachoeiradoscristais , without any filter.

Added a bit more data to it (just 4 subs - but that's an increase of 25%!) and reprocessed. Had to crop it again because the alignment on the added subs was different. I prefer this version, albeit a little blotchy in places! :)

I was testing my polar alignment again. This time I think I got it right. A single 2 minute exposure with dark field subtraction. The clouds have now rolled in (those wispy streaks across the frame) and perhaps I may go out later. I decided to go out and check the skies tonight and I was surprised it was clear considering the rain and clouds earlier. In the 10 minutes it took me to setup, the clouds just rolled on in. This is also a good test of the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI lens. I stopped down to f/2.8 and it definitely helps keep the stars round.

In astronomy, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier object 45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type 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.

This image of the Milky Way has been made by using DeepSkyStacker to stack a few frames that I took yesterday close to our city boundary. I do believe that the white haze on the right may well be due to light pollution coming from Sheffield city lights!
Mais uma captura da M27, a nebulosa do haltere. Ela é grande no céu e bem brilhante, podendo ser vista pela ocular do telescópio e até algumas buscadoras como um brilho bem difuso, uma fumaça circular no céu. Capturá-la em imagens não é difícil, sendo um dos meus primeiros alvos quando estava iniciando. Agora fiz nova captura e muito melhor que a anterior. A foto foi tirada a partir de um local bortle 8.
Another capture of the M27, the Dumbbell Nebula. It's big in the sky and quite bright. It can be seen in a telescope and even some finderscopes as a circle of grey gas. Capture it is not hard at all, and it was one of my first targets when I was starting at the hoby. Now I made a new one and way better. The picture was taken from a bortle 8 site.
