Produced using 2 layers of stacked frames to preserve the brighter area in the centre.
Layer 1: 2 x 10-minute & 5 x 5-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f10.
Layer 2 (centre): 7 x 2-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f10.
Off-axis, manually guided. Frames registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker; layering & curves adjusted in Paint Shop Pro.
Unmodded Canon EOS 40D & Celestron C8 telescope.
The data for this image was gathered during four nights, 23-24/08; 25-26/08; 16-17/09 and 14-15/10/2017. Imaged through an 8" GSO RC at f/8 with PrimaLuceLab 700Da camera cooled at -5 degree Celsius and -10 degree Celsius, respectively. With 8.5 hours this is my longest exposure series on an object. The image consists of 28x3 min. + 26x5 min. exposures without CLS filter and 58x5 min. exposures with CLS filter. The sets with and without CLS filter were stacked separately using different white balance settings in DeepSkyStacker. The stacking mode was set to auto adaptive weighted averaging. The two stacking results were then combined and further enhanced in PS. Background calibration was carried out with Fitswork. In the end a slight noise filter with Noiseware Community.
Telescope: 80 mm f/6 TS APO + field flattener; Camera: PrimaLuceLab 700Da cooled to -5 degree Celsius; 22 images of 2 min exposure at ISO 3200; simply tracked on EQ5.
Stacked with DeepSkyStacker in sigma clipping mode and further processed in PS. My friend Leonard Ellul Mercer was so kind and gave it a final touch on the colour balance.

The faint nebulosity in the picture is actually our own Milky Way. You can't see the stripe of the Milky way in the image because it's actually wider than this image.
I mainly took this because I wanted to get a feel for how large the Dumbbell Nebula actually is. I've seen it through a telescope, but that's hard to translate to how big something is when you look up at the sky. This image was taken with a plain old 50mm camera lens. The nebula is small enough that you really have to look at the original size to see it. It's quite visible as a blueish dumbbell just above and to the left of center and it's not much bigger than the stars, only a few pixels across... That makes sense since the Dumbbell Nebula is a planetary nebula. When a medium sized star like our own dies, it blows off the outer shell of gas first which slowly expands, making a small, short-lived nebula. Our own sun is fated to do this in a few billion years.
With the help of planetarium software, I picked out several of the other faint fuzzy objects in this neighborhood. Most of them appear as faint fuzzy light patches not much bigger than a star on the original sized image, with the exception of the coathanger.
30 minutes of total exposure time in 17 subexposures, F/4, ISO 1600. Three darks were taken as well. All of it was combined in DeepSkyStacker. Adjusted a bit and added constellation lines in photoshop.

This is the Soul Nebula(IC1848). Blending was done by putting the Halpha data into the R-channel, Oii into the G-channel, Siii into the B-channel, and then applying a Luminance layer.
This is not a well-processed photo by any means, especially the overexposed centre of M42. However, I wanted to see how much nebulosity I could capture in a light polluted city sky. I will keep practicing on this photo.

Decisamente un brutta foto, ne sono consapevole...scentrata, poca nebulosità, artefatti intorno alle stelle e chi più ne ha più ne metta!
Resto comunque dell'impressione che il mio maggior problema sia (oltre all'inquinamento luminoso) l'elaborazione al pc! Se qualcuno vuole gli posso passare il TIFF originale e elaborarlo, così, giusto per vedere quanto sengnale mi mangio...
Ho deciso di pubblicarla perchè ho fatto una fatica bestia per farla...ma, ahimè, non è un gran risultato!

Here’s my last image from Thursday night’s Danville trip. The wind had picked up more and the clouds started coming through so I had to limit this one to only 30 minutes. I had to meridian flip in the middle and I was surprised to see that DeepSkyStacker was able to align them without issues. I was also surprised to easily pick up the horsehead with my stock Canon in exposures as short as 60 seconds.
M42 Area – 10x180s + 10x10s + 10x5s (10 and 5 seconds for the trapezium area) – 32.5 minutes
Observation date: Morning of 10 March 2023
Total exposure time: 2 hours 39 minutes (106 light frames taken at ISO 200, 90s exposure)
Approximate location: My backyard in Eden Glen, Edenvale, Gauteng
Equipment Used:
-----------------------
Unmodified Canon EOS 1200D camera
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II lens set at 250mm and f/5.6
Sky-Watcher EQ5 mount with Orion Truetrack Dual-Axis Motor Drives and GPUSB Shoestring Astronomy EQMOD
Starfield F/3.6 60mm guide scope
Altair Astro GPCAM2 290M Mono guide camera
Acquisition via laptop with Astrophotography Tool (APT) and PHD2 autoguiding software
Post-processing Techniques Used:
----------------------------------------------
106 light frames were stacked in DeepSkyStacker with 137 dark frames, 120 bias frames, 95 flat frames and 95 dark flat frames. The resulting stacked TIF image was further processed in PixInsight. Workflow included dynamic crop, background extraction, photometric color calibration, noise reduction with TGV Denoise and Multiscale Median Transform, non-linear stretch, colour saturation, removed magenta colour around stars, star reduction, contrast enhancement with Curves and Histogram Transformation, and further background smoothing with Multiscale Linear Transform.

This image of the Ring Nebula (M57) has been made from some shots that I took during the small hours of today. DeepSkyStacker used to stack the best 80% (108 frames used). The shots were captured with Backyard EOS using a Canon 60D mounted onto a Skywatcher 200 reflector.

Messier 17, também conhecida como Nebulosa Ômega ou Nebulosa do Cisne, é uma das maiores regiões de formação de estrelas na nossa galáxia Via Láctea.
A Nebulosa Ômega foi descoberta em 1745 pelo astrônomo Suíço Jean-Philippe Loys de Chéseaux. Está localizada a 5.500 anos-luz da Terra na constelação do Sagitário. A nebulosa tem uma magnitude aparente de 6 e pode ser vista com binóculos.
