After sitting in the garage for most of the winter whilst the Borg was

getting used all the time, the Skywatcher 190 MakNewt got to point its

one near-perfect eye at a dark sky again on Sunday night.

 

After grabbing the RGB data for the Rosette image early in the evening

with the Borg, I quickly swapped over the imaging side of the ADM

side-by-side bar to the MakNewt, rebalanced, realigned, focused, and

fired up CCD Commander to center up M81/M82.

 

I have forgotten how nice the images are with the MakNewt :) The full

size version has some quite intricate detail, something that gets lost

when uploaded here.

Tracking wasn't great and there's some bad internal lens reflections, but still not bad. I caught the nebulosity around the brighter stars at least.

 

Was a BEAUTIFUL night tonight, so I decided to go out there and do some astro-photography! Please view LARGE!!

Taken July 2013 from Stargate Observatory, MI

Taken on September 25, 2011 near Butler, Missouri using an SBIG8300C camera mounted on a CGE1100 Telescope using Hyperstar (F/2). This is the sum of 8 ten minute images, stacked using DeepSkyStacker. The image was then processed with Photoshop CS2.

 

Guiding used PhD Guiding with an Orion Starshoot autoguider.

 

Exerted myself to reprocessing the stacked image as a compatriot amateur pointed out that the colors of stars in the previous result look problematic. Color adjusted according to G2V star. The final result this time looks more pleasing to me.

Images stacked in DeepSkyStacker, further processed in Fitswork, IRIS and Photoshop.

Nights are still quite bright, but its getting darker and darker. I had to wait until 1 am, before sky was darkest.

This is not the best one I have gotten, but it was still very fun to start shooting space after bright summer nights.

Days have been so hot (30 degrees) and night are also warm, so it was fun to stay outside..

The Ring Nebula (M57) from the backyard

Canon 5D through a Celestron C8-SGT

 

I reprocessed the M57 images in DeepSkyStacker (rather than Nebulosity) with improved results. Also spent a bit more time playing with curves in Photoshop.

 

I decided not to crop the image, so check out the larger sizes for a better view of the actual nebula.

Stack of 31 x 8 sec. exposures of Orion area beginning at 05:47 EDT during morning twilight, Rochester, NY. The track of the International Space Station can also be seen. Processed with DeepSkyStacker.

Picture saved with settings applied.

This is my first attempt to get a decent result out of the free software #DeepSkyStacker with a stack of 5 raw images (with Canon 5D Mark IV with Walimex 14mm f2.8 at 30 seconds ISO 2500..) over #Scheyern monastery (#klosterScheyern). With the light polution heading south, I was hoping to get more Milky Way to be visible, but it only gets visible after monstrous post-processing in Photoshop and Lightroom.

 

Given the fact that the road was almost pitch dark, I think the result is not too bad after all. To get a darker sky I would need to drive quite a bit. The nice thing is that the obvious noise at ISO 2500 is almost gone with that many stacked shots. #MedianStack

i had taken about 90 minutes worth of 60s exposures intending to make a movie. i'm still struggling with doing a histogram transformation on these 90 images in some automatic way. so i thought i'd stack some of them and see what i could get out of them in a still image.

 

This is a shot of the nebula around the star Sadr in Cygnus, sometimes known as the 'Butterfly Nebula'.

 

This shot was taken in November 2011 but I've been re-editing and tweaking it the last month or so.

This is M20, the Trifid Nebula. It's interesting because the pink and blue colors are very distinct when imaging this target. This lies in the dense star fields of Sagittarius and lies close by to M8, the Lagoon Nebula, and at the top of the image, M21, which got cut off when I cropped it. This is a result of over 30 minutes of exposures.
