4 x 600 second subs
Taken at Byng Inlet, ON.
Second night out at Byng Inlet with the ZEQ25. Dew was a real issue last night as it started to set in around 11pm and the small Goal Zero battery box I brought doesn't last long enough for a full night of imaging with the mount, camera and laptop plugged into it. So I just shot one target tonight.
The ZEQ25 and StarShoot Auto Guider seem to work really well together. I was able to take 10+ minute subs with minimal trailing. As the battery was depleted the mount started to struggle to track so there is some star trails in the last 600 second exposure that is in this stack.
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico. It is sometimes incorrectly called the "North American Nebula"

Andromeda 1/30/2015 – 9:06:13 PM, first ever attempt at photographing, first time seeing, 2 mins 30 sec elapsed time, deep sky stacker, PS 5.5, Canon 50D, Tamrom 70-200 at 200mm, tripod self guided, ISO 1600, 1 sec, f2.8. Personal note: Kinda proud of myself. I actually captured a rudimentary image of the Andromeda M31 Galaxy. This is a total exposure time of 2.5 mins. Amazed that I was able to get this with a 200mm lens. I couldn't see Andromeda but was able to find it through the camera. This is actually the first time that I have knowingly seen this wonder with my own eyes. There is another galaxy slightly to the right, M110. By the time I was finished there was frost on the camera.What is even more surprising is the dust lanes are visible. No crop.

First test of my new Astronomik Hydrogen Alpha filter on the Horsehead nebula.
I am so happy with the consistent results I am getting out of the G11 + Orion Starshoot autoguider combo. Now that I am getting used to the mount, setting up is very quick and once guiding is set I can leave it taking 10 minute integrations and just forget about it while it is doing its thing.
Astro-Tech 65EDQ 65mm f/6.5 telescope, Starlight Xpress MX-716 CCD camera, Astronomik H-Alpha filter, Losmandy G11 mount. Guided using an Orion StarShoot autoguider attached to a 9x50 finderscope and PHD software.
18 x 10 minute integrations (3 hours total time), 10 x 10 minute darks, 10 x 1/10th second bias frames. Image sets registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker.
The starry sky on Oct 24, 2011 outside Stuttgart, Germany. Taken with a Canon PowerShot G11, default zoom, no telescopes or additional lenses: 49 aligned expositions with F2.8, 5s, ISO800, 59 darks. Stacked with DeepSkyStacker. Frankly, I'm surprised I was able to capture all these stars so near the city lights.
Edit: The Pleiades ended up doubled due to lens distortions. Will upload another version as soon as I fix that.

Another clear evening, another attempt at the Andromeda Galaxy. Applied some dark files this time. You can make out some of the dark regions of the galaxy. This was a stack of 24 light files, and 7 dark files in DeepSkyStacker.

September nights are great for observing... Less humidity, reasonable viewing hours, not too cold... and no mosquitoes! Not looking forward to those -15 C nights, but I know they're coming. Tonight's quarry... Messier 29. M29 is a fairly sparse cluster in Cygnus that to me looks a bit like a mini-Pegasus.
A whole bunch of 15-second exposures with MagicShutter (along with dark frames) stacked in DeepSkyStacker. Added some star spikes for effect.
