Since the sun is setting later and I don't get much time with Orion, I decided to try some other objects. I present the M13 the "Hercules Cluster".
This was taken using my Pentax K3-II paired with my SpaceCat 51 Telescope (250mm focal length and f4.9) with my Orion 5561 2" SkyGlow Astrophotography Filter. Image is constructed from 38 light frames, 20 dark frames, and 20 flat frames. ISO 3200, shutter speed of 30sec, and 2min exposures.
The pinwheel shape of M33 is only just visible in this photo stacked from a handful of short exposures (circa 15 - 20s) to try and offset the skyglow
Fixed Point Photography Site 5: East Cornworthy, near Totnes. Pictures show the nightscape at Stoke Gabriel and the associated skyglow from Totnes and Torbay. Pictures taken in sequence A to I (NW to SE) on 02.02.2012 by Sam White.
Not so bad, but the picture does have a lot of skyglow which prevents it from being stretched very deep, and it lacks a good moonlit Badlands foreground that I had sort of hoped for.

Apresento-vos minha melhor captura de Júpiter!!! São 2690 frames alinhados com PiPP, empilhados com Autostakert e processados com Registax e depois com o Denoise. Essa foto foi tirada com o filtro Sky-glow e percebi que ele realça os detalhes do planeta e dá cores mais vívidas. Adorei o resultado! A segunda foto é o resultado de uma captura sem o filtro Sky-glow e com as mesmas etapas de processamento, para comparar o resultado do filtro.
Exposição 1/30s, ISO 400, projeção ocular de 4mm com Canon T7.

Includes a long exposure of a truck that drove by. The yellow skyglow on the right is light pollution from Pays Plat/Rossport/Schrieber.

In-camera dark frame subtraction
I started re-processing some old data and it's paying off! This is a second run at M24, the Sagittarius Star Cloud, that I captured over the summer. I was able to subtract out more camera noise and light pollution and the results are quite noticeably better than before.
This is the Sagittarius Star Cloud, usually cataloged as M24. This is an unobstructed view along the length of the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is the single most concentrated collection of stars visible to amateurs.

Orion. If you look very closely you can see the glow from the horsehead nebula, This was a 5 minute picture with a 50mm lens piggybacked on an LX200. The skyglow to the bottom of the picture is from Limerick.

Borrego Springs (population 3,429), San Diego County, CA
In 2009 Borrego Springs was designated as California's first International Dark-Sky Community by the International Dark-Sky Association. It is a center for public astronomy activities throughout the year.
There are no stop lights in Borrego Springs and night time lighting is kept to a minimum to protect the views of the night sky.
Borrego Springs is approximately 55 miles from the lights of the highly developed California coast.
Borrego Springs is completely surrounded by Anza-Borrego State Park, the largest of California's State Parks.
The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) is a United States-based non-profit organization incorporated in 1988 by founders David Crawford, a professional astronomer, and Tim Hunter, a physician/amateur astronomer. In 2011, the organization had about 5,000 members in 70 countries.
IDA's principal approach is to raise awareness about the value of dark, star-filled night skies and encourage their protection and restoration through education about the problems and solutions, including outdoor lighting practices that create less light pollution.
The mission of the IDA is "to preserve and protect the night time environment and our heritage of dark skies through quality outdoor lighting."
Light pollution is the result of outdoor lighting that is not properly shielded, allowing light to be directed into the eyes and the night sky. Light that shines into the eyes is called glare and light shining into the night sky above the horizon causes skyglow. Lighting can also cause light trespass when it is directed into areas that it is not wanted, e.g., a neighbor's yard and windows. IDA was the first organization in the dark-sky movement, and is currently the largest.

Naturpark Westhavelland (Brandenburg) - erster "Sternenpark" (Lichtschutzgebiet / Sternenlicht-Reservat) in Deutschland:
Our beautiful cosmic neighbor, the Triangulum galaxy (M33). Captured on Nov 14, 2018 with the Stellarvue 105mm f7 telescope with a 0.8FR to get a wider FOV. Used the Orion Skyglow Imaging filter to cut down skyglow (LP). ISO 200, f5.6. 110x90sec (166 min).
[Reprocess] My first attempt at capturing the beautiful Rosette Nebula. I was quite surprised to be able to image this from the city with less than ideal equipment. Meaning no proper guiding and an unmodified dslr with only a skyglow filter attached.
I will definetly be coming back for this one, to give it justice. The green light spillage on top is a mystery to me. If annyone sees this and has an advice why i get these gradiants, feel free to leave a comment! :)
