So pleased with this as my first nebula image :)

IC4628 in scorpius. My first attempt in H alpha for this target under nearly full moon separated by roughly 19d33´ . Gradients of light were imminent. It is work in progress, so in my next session I will add CLS and OIII to obtain a narrowband color palette.

From Wikipedia:
The Beehive Cluster, also known as Praesepe (Latin for "manger"), M44, NGC 2632, or Cr 189, is an open cluster in the constellation Cancer. It is one of the nearest open clusters to the Solar System, and it contains a larger star population than most other nearby clusters.

The Pinwheel Galaxy is a face-on spiral galaxy distanced 21 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major, first discovered by Pierre Méchain on March 27, 1781, and communicated to Charles

Decided to try out my new Pentax O-GPS1. This was shot using the astrotracer function of the GPS. By the 6th exposure, the clouds started to cover the night sky and got to end the session. Using only 5 exposure of 1 minute, this is the result I get after stacking.

The Orion Nebula and De Mairan's Nebula, M42 and M43 respectively, as viewed under urban light using an Astronomik CLS Clip-Filter. The CLS (City Light Suppression) is an interference filter that blocks the light of the spectral lines of mercury and sodium-vapor lamps and lets the largest part of the visible light and H-alpha emissions pass. All the important emission lines, as well as the spectral region that the very well dark adapted eye can see, can pass through the filter. This was my first attempt at using the filter and stacking images using DeepSkyStacker. Camera used was a Canon EOS 70D, with an EF 24-105 mm lens, mounted on an iOptron SkyTracker. Location was Burlington, Ontario, 43°19'57" N, 79°46'38"W, ambient temperature a balmy -13°C under a waxing gibbous moon, no cloud cover and marginal to average transparency and seeing. Eight light frames and six dark frames, no flat or bias frames, all shot at ISO 400, f/4 for 30 seconds and 105 mm.
1hr 20 mins of integration with 32x150s exposures at ISO 1000 with a Nikon D600 and iOptron iEQ30 pro mount. Bortle 5. Stacked using DeepSkyStacker and stretched in Photoshop. Final edits in Lightroom.
Traveling 2400 yrs. back in time (378 B.C.): the H-Alpha view of the *Veil Nebula*, the remnant of a supernove 20 times more massive than the Sun.
The picture is a 171 minutes integration of the Veil Nebula using the RASA 8, AVX, ZWO 294MM PRO and the H-Alpha, O-III and S-II Baader 2" Highspeed filters.
Designated NGC 2264, this is in the Monoceros Constellation (Unicorn), 2600 light-years away. If you angle your head 45 degrees to the right, you can see where it gets its name. The Cone Nebula by the way is that pointy finger looking thing about 2 o'clock from centre a third of the way down the image. Not greatly detailed, but I wouldn't expect it to be for such a short exposure! :)
Taken at the same time (shortly before actually) as the Leo Triplet I uploaded yesterday, it was beset with the same problems. I took 80 60sec subs and, because the mount was being a pig (no disrespect to pigs), I could only use 36 of them - so this is 36 minutes. I've never pointed my kit at an area of sky with so much red stuff before (that's Hydrogen Alpha, Hα for short), so I'm kinda pleased with this. Horrendous coma, but that's a "feature" of the kit, and I can't afford a coma corrector, so I have to put up with it. :)
Might have another go at processing later - this was a bit of a rush job to see what I had. The darks problem I had last night is now fixed - DSS being temperamental!

I was quite happy with result, but when I looked monitor from different angle, I was quite terrified.
I really have to see these photos with good monitor to see are they really so bad..
I tried calibrating system, but somehow it didn`t work like it should have.
Still this is a little bit better than my last one of this.

Picture saved withSkyward Gaze | Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
I will not kid you, the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet, aka Comet A3, has been rather underwhelming to the naked eye between 17 and 21 October 2024 as it appeared during the early evenings, in the sky westward of North of Kingston, Ontario. The comet, dimming by the day and often washed out by the full or nearly full moon, was generally faint in clear skies, even away from city light pollution, and could only be resolved through photography, in these cases generally requiring the stacking of up to 60 one to two second shots to resolve with some quality without the aid of a tracking system to minimize overexposure, star trailing and blurring of the comet. As you will notice in this album, I had better luck in resolving the Neowise comet back in the summer of 2020.
