Winter is not the time to photograph the Milky Way. The center of our galaxy is only visible in the northern hemisphere during the summer months, so all that we have to view during this time of year is the far-sparser outer regions of the Milky Way galaxy. But... when you are in the middle of nowhere and armed with an equatorial mount, you can still have some fun with that! As a bonus, you can also see Andromeda Galaxy (M31) in the upper left portion of the image.
The AirBnB we stayed at in Terlingua, Texas was a trailer that was ~10 miles off the main road. The night that we got there, the sky was quite clear, but the winds were harsh. I used our trailer to block some of the wind as I sat there taking my long exposures (you can see the protective structure around it in the immediate foreground). The neighboring trailer (and the only other one around) is also partially visible in this photo.

Comet Lovejoy this evening (January 1, 2015). Only managed a single 60-second exposure before the clouds rolled in. You can see the hint of a tail pointing toward 10 o'clock.
M31 as seen from the beach at Camp Cachalot in Plymouth, MA last Friday night, with the smaller M32 and M110 satellite galaxies also visible, if not particularly well-defined. The camp is fairly dark (well, for the northeastern US, anyway) with Bortle Class 4 skies. Considering this is only my second attempt at deep-sky astrophotography, I'll take it, but I'm pretty sure I can do better. Looking at the source frames that went into this, I think I nudged the equatorial tracker out of alignment unintentionally, since I got a little bit of trailing on the stars.
No telescope involved. This was one of my Nikon D750s, with my Nikkor 28-300mm at 300mm (with a bit of gaffer tape to ensure it didn't shift while shooting), mounted on an iOptron SkyGuider Pro equatorial tracker. I took 30 light frames at ƒ/8, 2 minutes each using a ShutterBoss Pro II intervalometer, but had to toss about 8 of those, one from what looked like some wind shake and the rest because of other light sources crossing the frame (mostly planes; at least, they didn't look like the photos I've seen of the StarLink constellation that other astrophotographers have complained about.) Shot 30 darks, and 20 each of bias and flat frames. Everything was processed in SIRIL using the provided scripts, and I attempted a bit more minor cleanup using a mixture of Topaz DeNoise and Adobe Photoshop CS.
I'm going to have to try this one again the next time conditions are decent, maybe from a darker spot (best I can do without overnight travel are Bortle Class 3 skies), and do better at keeping the tracker in alignment.

This object is about 22-25 thousand light years away and is about 145 light years in diameter. This consists of a ball of several hundred stars packed together. Last night was almost a full moon, so my plan was to work on my telescope system to tune things up. After I did this I thought I would try M13 again. M13 was one of the first objects I shot - this effort captured 100 images at 30 seconds each. I was quite please with the star colors I captured - a nice improvement over my first effort. Also note the edge on galaxy NGC 6207 in the upper right corner of the shot. This is an edge-on spiral galaxy that is 30 million light years away....

The Triangulum Galaxy (M33) was imaged using a stack of 31 twenty-five second exposures. Each image was taken with a Canon 70D and a Canon 200 mm f/2.8L lens (f/3.2 | ISO 1250). Stacking was done in Nebulosity.
The Constellation Canis Minor and Bright Star Procyon.
The constellation known as Canis Minor is one of the smallest constellations in the night sky but contains the 7th brightest star, Procyon. Procyon has a magnitude of 0.34 and is a binary star system, the companion star is a faint white dwarf called Procyon B. Procyon is fairly close to our Sun at about 11.5 light years away, this means the light you are seeing from this star is 11.5 years old. The name Procyon comes from the Greek (prokyon), meaning “before the dog”, since it precedes the “Dog Star” Sirius as it travels across the sky.
Tech Specs: Photographed on March 26, 2016 using a Canon 6D, Canon EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS lens, iOptron ZEQ25 mount, and a 60 second exposure at ISO 1000 and f/2.8.
Saturn and a couple of its moons, as imaged from Christchurch this morning around 1.00 am.
Even though its diameter is 10 x the diameter of the earth, it is still a tiny object when viewed, as there is 1,328 million km distance between us.
It is my first Saturn image for 2023. High humidity, but the best seeing we have had for weeks. Captured at 2023-07-30-1250 UTC

Messier 39 (también conocido como M39 o NGC 7092) es un cúmulo abierto en la constelación Cygnus. Fue descubierto por Charles Messier en 1764. El M39 está a una distancia de unos 800 años luz desde la Tierra.
Los cúmulos estelares abiertos son grupos de estrellas formados a partir de una misma nube molecular, sin estructura y en general asimétricos. También se denominan cúmulos galácticos, ya que se pueden encontrar por todo el plano galáctico.(Wikipedia)

Messier 74 (también conocido como Galaxia del Abanico o NGC 628) es una galaxia espiral en la constelación de Piscis. Debido a su bajo brillo de superficie es considerada uno de los objetos más difíciles del Catálogo Messier.
la galaxia contiene dos brazos espirales claramente definidos y es por tanto usada como un ejemplo arquetípico de una galaxia espiral de gran diseño.
La galaxia de M74 posee una gran riqueza en objetos. Su color azulado se debe a que posee miríadas de cúmulos estelares, de estrellas con tonalidades azuladas (jóvenes).
M74 se halla a una distancia de alrededor de entre 23 y 30 millones de años luz de la Vía Láctea, Con una magnitud aparente de 9.9. (Wikipedia)

Saturno em oposição ano 2020
foto em 20 de julho de 2020 as 20h30 utc-3
Gostei do fato das faixas do polo norte começarem levemente a aparecer nesta foto, em comparação com meus registros anteriores onde havia uma faixa única cinzenta.
Curiosidades gerais: Durante esse momento de órbita chamado oposição, o planeta está perfeitamente alinhado (Sol - Terra - Saturno), e do lado oposto, em relação ao Sol, de modo que a sombra do globo de Saturno, que geralmente é vista em parte projetando-se sobre seus anéis, acaba praticamente desaparecendo, porque está se projetando para o lado de trás do planeta.
E por que esses detalhes são interessantes? Porque esses detalhes e outros milhares mais observados, juntos confirmam o entendimento que a ciência tem, de sistema solar, e de sua mecânica celeste.

Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) from Bloomington, Indiana, just as it was rising above the trees and dawn was beginning. Still not a super spectacular comet, but with a bright nucleus and prominent tail. And so far it's much better than the last two comets that were predicted to be knockouts.

This is a very busy area of space.
M106 is a galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici (The Hunting Dogs), which is located between 22 and 25 million light years away. M106 is a massive galaxy with a very active core region that is home to a supermassive black hole. The core is extremely bright relative to the galaxy and in my image the core is a little saturated because of this.
Also seen in this image is the edge on galaxy NGC 4248 located adjacent to M106, is located 25 Million Light years away. Towards the top you can also see a very small pair of galaxies NGC 4231 and 4232.
This was the result of 71 exposures of 120 sec each. Shot with a William Optics 132mm FLT APO refractor on a IOptron CEM60 mount. Camera was a ZWO ASI294MC-Pro. 25 Dark, 50 flat, and 60 bias calibration exposures. Processed via DeepSky Stacker, Pixinsight and Photoshop. This is preliminary processing to assess last nights capture. I will more carefully reprocess this on a cloudy night!
Fujifilm X-T10, Samyang 135mm f/2.0 @ f2.0, ISO 1600, 33 x 60 sec, tracking with iOptron SkyTracker Pro, stacking with DeepSkyStacker, editing with Astro Pixel Processor and GIMP, taken Nov 1 under Bortle 3/4 skies.
I love imaging Orion. My goal with this shot was to include the Flame and Horsehead Nebulae, Barnard's Loop, Messier 78, and Lynds' Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622, the Boogeyman Nebula (upper left). It seemed like a good target for Halloween night.
This was my first try using a star tracker to photograph the Milky Way locally in a yellow light pollution zone. It took way longer than expected to align the tracker with Polaris, especially since it was a pretty cold night. I think I got reasonably close (although certainly not perfect). Next time I'll stop down to f/4 to help the sharpness in the corners. Taken with an iOptron Skytracker Pro for about 3 minutes.
