A time-lapse of my Skywatcher Quattro 8" tracking the night sky.
It actually looks like the camera is moving but, it's just the telescope and sky that moves.
The camera is mounted on a little tripod on the floor, which I almost kicked over, several times.
The flashing red light is my head torch as I regular check on the telescope.
This was 655 images taken with a Canon 1100D. I used a Neewer intervalometer for taking the exposures.
A fresh process of a previous image using Siril. A nice improvement, although still a lot to learn.

I shot this on Sunday night as a test of my SkyWatcher Star Adventurer's time lapse mode.
Each image was shot with my Sony a77 D-SLT camera at ISO4000, 13 sec, f/3.5. The time lapse shows just how much the stars move in the night sky over a 1 hour 13 minute period. The flash of light near the end was actually a car driving past but it only caught the headlights coming towards us in the exposure.
The Star Adventurer definitely shows promise for some time lapse work and I think I will retry a star time lapse once the moon is up next time as it will help illuminate the foreground a bit more.
Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor and a Canon 600D at prime focus. A Baader Astrosolar filter was fitted to the telescope. Best 20 of 45 images stacked using Registax 6. Shot through thin but consistent cloud, seeing very good. Exposure dropped to 1000th/sec to compensate, usually shoot at 1600th/sec when at ISO100.

In astronomy, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier object 45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. Pleiades has several meanings in different cultures and traditions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades
Le Pleiadi (conosciute anche come le Sette sorelle, la Chioccetta o con la sigla M45 del catalogo di Charles Messier) sono un ammasso aperto visibile nella costellazione del Toro.[5] Questo ammasso, piuttosto vicino (440 anni luce),[2] conta diverse stelle visibili ad occhio nudo; anche se dagli ambienti cittadini solo cinque o sei delle stelle più brillanti sono visibili, da un luogo più buio se ne possono contare fino a dodici. Tutte le sue componenti sono circondate da leggere nebulose a riflessione, osservabili specialmente in fotografie a lunga esposizione prese con telescopi di dimensione ragguardevole it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiadi_(astronomia)

Taken with my Skywatcher 250pds with Canon 1100D (modded) at prime focus.
First light for my QHY5 II mono guider mounted on finder scope which worked very well
Capture software was Backyard EOS and PHD for guiding which is so easy to use.
I took 34 exposures of 300 seconds but had to discard 15 as the wind was very strong against the scope and set off PHD warning beebs. I needed my Observatory but that isn't coming until March. Darks, Bias, Flats and Darkflats were used.
Stacked in DSS. Main process in Pixinsight and a little tweak in PS.
Sky conditions were very poor so considering the odds were working against me I am reasonably pleased with this…..just !
The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus.[5] Corresponding to a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054, the nebula was observed later by English astronomer John Bevis in 1731. At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, comparable to that of the largest moon of Saturn, it is not visible to the naked eye but can be made out using binoculars under favourable conditions.

Due to the strong wind on the highlands, I stopped photographying on the way. 46 light frames are a bit too few.
