First attempt at deep space astrophotography, taken in the garden with a standard tripod. 94 x 2 seconds at f/4, ISO 3200 with canon 40d and 70-200mm l lens, at 200mm. Stacked using Deep Sky Stacker with 94 dark frames, then processed (through trial and error) in CS4.

Taken August 2013 from New Haven, MI
This is an image of Messier object 1, the Crab Nebula. Taken as a part of a test done in the back yard to check the way the PEC was working on the mount. I was also testing to see how well double stacking the Baader UV/IR filter with the Moon and Skyglow filter would work to give tighter stars.
I was pleased with the results of the double stack when using it on the SV4 refractor. On the Mak, it gave better results than expected. I was able to get better looking diffraction spikes for focus so it helped ensure good stars.
The stack is the result of 10 subs of 10 minutes each at 400 ISO using the full spectrum modified Pentax K10D camera on the 127mm Orion Maksutov Cassegrain operating at F13.1.
Only after taking these pictures and then looking at them a day or so later did I realize that there was something moving in the frames. It required a bit of work, but I believe that the object is identified in this list from the Minor Planet Checker:
Object (33078) 1997 WN35 RA 05 34 23.2 DEC +22 20 36 Magnitude 19.9 Motion in Arcsecs/Hr: RA 76+ DEC 0-
The finding of this object in the data meant that I had to get something out of the stack, which meant that I would work it over via trial and error.
Data was calibrated in Maxim using 77 darks, 15 flats, 256 bias. I had some flawed darks so I spent a long time chasing the errors. Stacking was done in DSS. Processing in PixInsight for DBE, background calibration, masked stretch, A Trous wavelets for de noise and sharpening, and a few more curve/histogram stretches before annotation. TIF files exported and then passed through LR3 for publish.

The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
M33, one of the Milky Way's closest neighbours, located in the constellation Triangle. The size of the galaxy in the sky is about as large as the full Moon, so I used a f6.3 focal reducer on my f10 SCT.
This image is a stack of 20 three-minute exposures at ISO400, stacked with DeepSkyStacker and processed with Lightroom.

Its so much fun :)
I love the stars!
This photo was taken from Silchester, Hampshire, UK (51.35 long, 1.06667 lat).on 24 September 2013 between 11.00pm and 11.30pm.
The photo is composed of 20 exposures of 75 seconds at ISO 6400 with 8 dark frames subtracted and all stacked using Deepskystacker.
The Crab Nebula (M1) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Taurus. It is a supernova remnant (the remains of an exploding star) which was witnessed on earth in 1054 and recorded by Chinese astronomers. It is a small target but a beautiful one in my opinion.
My equipment is a modified Canon EOS 1100D, a Sky Watcher ED80 telescope and an EQ3-2 Mount with an RA motor. I also used a UHC filter.
Stack of 24 fifteen-second shots. The sky was rapidly turning to predawn twilight as I took this sequence--I'm guessing that's why the nebula wound up kind of bluish. Either that or the deep red Lagoon Nebula I've seen in photos is largely H-alpha.
Really had to slaughter the contrast to bring out the nebulosity. Gonna have to try this from Leamington...

One of the advantages to shooting the sky with a camera rather than a telescope is you can get medium length shots like this. This is the Orion and Horsehead Nebulas in one frame at 170 mm, from the belt down the length of the sword in the constellation. Shot at 3200 ISO rather than 6400 as my others of the night were done, so the image came out a little cleaner, although I might have like to have more exposure in the horsehead region. Overall quite pleased with it.

The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 ) is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The nebula was first recorded in 1888 by Scottish astronomer Williamina Fleming on photographic plate B2312 taken at the Harvard College Observatory. The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which bears some resemblance to a horse's head when viewed from Earth.
