The Orion Nebula (M42) is close to Earth in universe scale at only 1,344 light years away. The nebula is visible to the naked eye, even in light polluted areas as a "fuzzy" star in the middle of Orion's sword,, to the south of Orions belt. This nebula is busy forming new planets and stars.

This is the Whirlpool Galaxy one of two major galaxies visible in Ursa Major. It is about twice the size of our galaxy and 27 million light-years away. It is an archetypal spiral galaxy seen head-on. This is the first time I've managed to record this galaxy with any success. I'll post a wider-field view of this later.
Discovered by NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) mission on March 27th 2020, this long period comet is now on its way out of the Solar System having passed just inside the orbit of Mercury at perihelion.

I took more pictures of this object and added them to my previous session.
I think this is a little green, but I got backround quite dark..
I am still working to get flats right, but after testing I noticed that 50 frames without any calibrate frames gives me less noise.. And noise is the hardest to edit. Vigneting is easier..
I am going to make lightbox and I´m hoping to get opportunity to test it in this season, while nights are still dark.

This was my major target and effort for Calstar 2012. Taken over a series of 3 nights from September 13-16. My first evening under the stars had the camera rotated in the wrong position, so I couldn't use the subs very well. Because the camera position varied from evening to evening, this became an exercise in making a mosaic as well.
Because of the mosaic layout, amp glow from the camera was a big problem. My previous efforts to use DSS and PI to calibrate and stack were not able to sufficiently remove the glow. In the end, I loaded up Maxim, pointed it at darks that were in the temperature range of the lights and let it do a full calibration. The stacking of the resulting 59 fit files were done in DSS 3.3.3 beta 47 as a Sigma Clip. Processing was done in PI where I cropped, DBE, masked stretch, NR, and then a small MT to tighten up the stars. Brought the images into LR3 for touches to fix the blue halos in the bright stars (artifacts from calibration) and some final lines from the mosaic.
Final stack of 59 lights of 10 minutes at 400 ISO. Calibrated in Maxim with 63 darks, 27 flats, and 55 bias. Shot with the full-spectrum Pentax K10D camera with the cooler attached giving temps ranging from 19-21C. Telescope was a Stellarvue SV4 guided with Maxim using Orion SSAG on SV70ED. All used on a Losmandy G-11.
Here is the resolve data from PI:
Resolution ........ 1.912 arcsec/pix
Rotation .......... -168.166 deg
Focal ............. 582.47 mm
Pixel size ........ 5.40 um
Field of view ..... 2d 30' 8.6" x 1d 22' 2.1"
Image center ...... RA: 04 02 03.917 Dec: +36 19 53.55
Image bounds:
top-left ....... RA: 03 55 19.664 Dec: +35 54 27.14

bottom-right ... RA: 04 08 52.468 Dec: +36 43 53.97
Lessons learned: Maxim does a good job with non-linear amp glow areas. I'll be going back to some of my problematic subs to recalibrate. I'll have to see what I can do to fix the blue rings in the bright stars as calibration doesn't seem to control these well.

October 31st, 2021. IC 5146 .Inside the Cocoon Nebula is a newly developing cluster of stars. Cataloged as IC 5146, the beautiful nebula is nearly 15 light-years wide, located some 4,000 light years away toward the northern constellation Cygnus. Like other star forming regions, it stands out in red, glowing, hydrogen gas excited by young, hot stars and blue, dust-reflected starlight at the edge of an otherwise invisible molecular cloud.

This is difficult object.
It didnt help, that moon was shining brightly. I still had to shoot this, because it had been cloudy for so long.
I didnt use much time to edit this. I want to have more frames (in dark, without moon) and then do proper editing.
But I am happy I got this much. Last winter I had only 10, or so frames..

The Rosetta Nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas around 130 light years in diameter located approximately 5200 light years from Earth.
An open star cluster, NGC 2244, situated close to the centre of the nebula, consists of young stars which recently formed from the nebula's material and which are now responsible for exciting the (predominantly) hydrogen atoms within the nebula, making it visible.

This image of the Pleiades (M45) has been made from 109 DSS stacked frames that I took recently. The shots were taken in a light polluted city surburb (no filter used) using an unmodified Canon EOS 60D mounted onto a Skywatcher 200D reflector (ISO 6400; Exp. 15 sec at prime focus). Photoshop CS6 used to process after stacking.
Darn hard work this! I'll fill the details in later!
