I was forced to exposure for only 30 seconds because I left my intervalometer home. This 100x30s processed image (Pixinsight and PS CS 6.0) @ iso 1600-29 exp, 2200-21 exp, and 3200-50 exp, Nikkor 180mm ED f/2.8 @ f/2.8, Nikon d7100 was taken during the evening of 8 Oct 18 from Vail, Arizona. Moonless clear skies with excellent transparency resulted in a sharp crisp image. Using AstroTrac x320 unguided mount.
I was quite surprised that this limited exposure and wide open f-stop could produce such a nice rendering of this deep sky object.
Compare to my 7.5 hour integrated time version: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/29683280310/in/album-7....
The Man On the Vespa. A target I have never found a name for so I gave it one. Any one who has been to Italy and seen all the Vespa riders will know the sitting position. A few have heard me speak of this target but never really seen it quite like this. The Scope is in perfect focus why there is so much detail.
Narrow band and RGB stars in the Hubble pallet. I have paid homage to the Hubble pallet by not completely removing all the green. Add to the list of shot that make this up I even tried Sky flats so its a real long stack list.
At the very top of this shot is the outer Rim of the Tarantula Nebula one every one knows.
Enjoy the man like I have never seen before......and all the wispy details in the Background.

A part of the Large Magellanic cloud . This is a huge step in learning and improvement. Here is 10 hours each narrow band filter S Ha O and and 30 shot each RGB. Throw stars from narrowband use the stars from RGB as they are more natural looking and consistent. Remember this is all coming from a Mono camera and a filters.
Its a longer take and a lot longer edit to get the final result but its way better than trying to clean the Narrow band stars, in total 6 nights work. This in the Hubble pallet of S Ha O. In this format of RGB Red is Sulphur Green is Ha and Blue is O.

This is an unknown but one of the reasons I took the panorama of the milky way what is out there. This has always in my mind looked like a "Leaping Frog" has been a long time getting the data due to rain and clouds. Next is going to be Dark Wolf a bit further around on the same ring.
I did this as HaSS as Hubble did not work and no info in the O chanel. Have to say 2.1 C sun up this morning and it looked like the Scope had had a bath and water dripping off it ......

NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575. The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

I didn't spend much time on this target when imaging May2013 as it sets early evening. Carina is a bright nebula so even 20min in dark skies can be impressive.
I used the MorphologicalTransformation process in PixInsight to reduce some of the stars.
It's taken months to process this as I was never entirely happy with the images as focus was slightly out - with new PI skills I've managed to fix this image to the best I think it'll get.

A two panel widefield Narrowband (HaOIII bi-color) Mosaic of a section of the Veil Nebula Complex (Supernova Remnant).
The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103), a large but relatively faint Supernova Remnant. The source Supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun, which exploded around 8,000 years ago. The remnants have since expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 36 times the area of the full Moon). Data from FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explore) places the nebula at a distance of about 1,470 light-years away. This category of Deep-sky Object is also known as a Filamentary Nebula.
The Western Veil & Pickering's Triangle:
This image shows 2 of the regions in Veil Nebula Complex:
The Western Veil (also known as Caldwell 34), consisting of NGC 6960 (the "Witch's Broom", "Finger of God", or "Filamentary Nebula") near the foreground star 52 Cygni;
Pickering's Triangle (or Pickering's Triangular Wisp), brightest at the north central edge of the loop, but visible in photographs continuing toward the central area of the loop.
