Over 40 petroglyph sites have been recorded in this area, but most of these sites are small with only a few dozen petroglyphs. The Painted Rock Site is the largest known site with close to 1000 images. The Native American Hohokam people once lived and farmed in this area from ~ 350 -1400 C.E.
Even under half moonlight, and eventually complete darkness... this place is incredible. I'm glad it's being preserved. If you visit, please be respectful.

Description
Subs were from a "moon" night , but was the last night out since then (smoke and bad weather) so thought I'd go ahead and process it. Its not bad, but I do wish I could have gotten a bit more of the dust in the background.

Realizing that I was pretty extremely over sampled, this round I tried binning 2x2..which still left me at about 1.2 arc seconds a pixel, far better than my seeing.
The result: Despite having only a few frames to work with (clouded over) the outcome is far better- cleaner per sub, more forgiving of small guiding errors, and I didn't loose any detail.
I'm looking forward to a full night with this new approach!

I have always found NGC 2304 a real challenge from my suburban backyard. With no stars brighter than 12th magnitude and comprising an area of only 3 arcminutes it is easily overwhelmed by suburban skyglow.
The morning of January 21st, after the moon had set, the sky was as transparent as it gets above my deck. NGC 2304 appeared with some effort in the eyepiece at a magnification of 84x as an amorphous uniform ghostly glow. At 182x a half-dozen faint stars flickered in and out of existence.
Finding the location of NGC 2304 is easier than seeing it in a semi-light-polluted sky. It rests approximately halfway between Althena (Gamma Geminorium) and Mekbuda (Zeta Geminorium) in the constellation of the Twins. I had on previous occasions looked for this tiny cluster from my backyard and had, until this morning, always failed to locate it using the 155mm refractor. Sometimes persistence pays off.

The Moon and Venus in this mornings sky 03/28/22. Mars and Saturn were also present but I got up a little late and the dawn sky had already brightened enough that they were lost in skyglow.
questa volta quasi ci siamo :D c'e' ancora un po di rumore ma ne ho approfittato per fare un po di esperienza con il layer masking. In questa versione ho trashato gli scatti con l'idas e riciclato altri scatti fatti nel 2011.

This photo of the Pleiades open star cluster was captured over a few nights last fall. Although this is considered a relatively easy target to capture, I wasn’t sure how this image would come out. To my surprise, and thanks to a bortle class 4 sky, I was able to capture the star cluster as well as the interstellar dust (grayish brown) around it.
In Japan, the Pleiades star cluster is known as Subaru and was chosen as the brand name of Subaru automobiles. If you look closely at the Subaru logo you can see 6 of the 7 bright stars within the reflection nebula (blue).
Clear skies and thanks for viewing!
About the Photo:
The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters (Messier 45) can be found in the constellation of Taurus. The Pleiades is made up of more than 800 stars and is located about 410 light-years from Earth. Several of the bright stars that make up the cluster appear surrounded by intricate blue filaments of light. This nebulosity is the result of starlight scattering (reflecting) off minute grains of interstellar dust in the vicinity. This known as a reflection nebula, which is typically blue in color.
A light pollution filter was used to collect the data for this image. Light pollution filters selectively reduce the transmission of wavelengths of light produced by artificial lights including mercury vapor lamps, both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and skyglow.

In June I was shoothing several Milky Way exposures from Devils Garden Campground in Arches NP.
Each exposure was 25s @ ISO 6400 to keep the stars round. Now, just for the fun of it, I stacked them in order to get some startrails.
The result quite surprised me...

Taken from atop Mt. Lemmon in late June, which is over 9000 ft. I went for a more fine art/minimalistic approach to this one which was more labor intensive than I realized. I wanted to try and capture how HOT is was on the desert floor, and how COLD it was atop the mountain (the color fade). There was roughly a 40 degree difference, which was much welcomed!
The photo is best viewed on a black background. The final was over 13,000 pixels across (your monitor is most likely 1,920 pixels across, for comparison)

The last slither of the sun peeks out from behind one of the hills in the Peak District as it sets on 28/06/2018. The long lingering orange glow lasts for ages in mid summer here in the UK.

"The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated south[b] of Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. Older texts frequently referred to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula." fonte wiki

A waxing gibbous moon competes for nocturnal illumination along with stars, distant skyglow and the blinding LED signals on BNSF's Needles Subdivison between Daggett and Barstow, California. It's a busy night on the western end of the Transcon, as a westbound approaches in the distance while another waits to proceed.
It's nearly impossible to convey the overwhelming sense of vastness one experiences in the desert at night- even surrounded by the railroad, nearby highways and the distant light pollution of the sprawl leaking out of the cracks in the Los Angeles Basin's mountainous defenses, one feels intensely aware of the insignificance of one's own existence, and the unsettlingly peaceful feeling that brings.
The "Little Pinwheel" galaxy in Ursa Major.
I've been trying an experiment using narrowband for green and red (Oiii and Ha), but from now on I will abandon narrowband on the SCT. I can't seem to get enough signal overall even with longer integrations and narrowband targets seem to fit the low FL scopes better.

...another attempt at the 1st shot of the Milky Way - this time I manually removed the skyglow - before processing everything else !!!
The California Nebula in Perseus is an emission nebula five times the size of the full moon, about 1000 light years away. This shot is named for my sister on her birthday! I've wanted to capture it for a while, but waited until late in the season when it's low in the sky for a good view.
This is my first image with data from multiple nights stacked, Drizzle stacked 2 hours of 3 min exposures with 33' of exposure from the evening of March 19 at Bad Wolf Ranch, and 87 minutes form the evening of 2021-03-26 from Willow House in Terlingua.
RedCat 250/51mm telescope, Baader SkyGlow filter, and ZWO ASI 533MC camera cooled to -10. Processed in Pixinsight with GHS and RC Astro *Xterminator plugins. Final exposure and crop in PS.
ennesima elaborazione da frustrato :) alla disperata ricerca della flux (la cui visibilità varia a seconda del tasso alcolico del medesimo), il tempo non collabora purtroppo. Mi piace ed affascina il dettaglio sulle galassie ed il bilanciamento colori ma è uno scatto tutto da rifare con un cielo degno, sob!

Yet another frustrated and cropped stack :) in a desperate search of flux (whose visibility varies depending on the alcohol content in the body), unfortunately the weather does not cooperate. I like the detail on the galaxies and the color balance but i need to start all over again with a sky worthy, sob!

Another experiment to see how low I could go, this time with a 114mm newt. Once again I caught PGC 3807486 (18.55 mag galaxy), but it took longer subs and the result was even fainter than with the 6", so I may be reaching the limits of my aperture/skies.
In all fairness, it was also a somewhat better night with better transparency. Still, not a bad performance by the little newt that started life as an Orion Starblast, a scope that you can check out from some public libraries.
