I also added a synthetic Luminance layer that I created post capture. The technique does seem to make a real difference.
The picture was taken in summer in the center of Moscow.I used an adapter m42-alpha (with chip. Thats why in exif you can see focus length 50 mm) and Maksutov telescope with a focal length of 1300 mm.
Shot on 2nd of August, at around 1AM. Seeliger effect can be clearly seen!

Plan is to shorten the tube another 2.5 inches or so,remove the Parracor corrector and switch to (try) a OAG unit...and maybe lose the 10 pound counterweight...

Trying my hand at astrophotography.
A vast amount of technical information to assimilate. Thankfully, there's lots of great people on YouTube sharing their knowledge and experience which is very helpful for an absolute beginner like me.
My rig consists of
1) Sky-watcher Star Adventurer 2i
2) Pentax K3
3) Pentax-DA* 200mm F2.8
4) Vanguard Auctus 323CT tripod
6) Feelworld FW759 7" HDMI monitor
7) USB powered dew heater and power pack.
8) Ipad mini 4
9) A lot of cables(!)
I'm running Sky-watcher SA console on the Ipad to control the mount and camera. Also using Stellarium to help locate objects.
So far with cloudy nights, equipment issues and my vast lack of knowledge its been kind of a frustrating experience. but I will persevere. I've got lots of time - the sky's not going anywhere :)

Fun Facts !
La nébuleuse du Voile, est un ensemble de gaz chauds et de poussières, vestige d'une supernova.
Il s'agissait d'une bulle d'onde de choc en expansion provenant d'une étoile qui s'est transformée en supernova il y a entre 10 000 et 20 000 ans.
Le gaz en expansion issu de cette explosion a comprimé l'hydrogène, l'oxygène et le soufre, provoquant la formation d'ondes de choc et les couleurs que vous voyez ici. La bulle s'est agrandie au fil du temps pour former une boucle de 6 degrés de diamètre, ce qui en fait un élément gigantesque dans le ciel nocturne.

Well i got stubborn about the moon, and went for it anyways. Definitely now know its really sucks to have moon out! Man that moon is really high altitude right now.
There are part of this image i like, and parts i don't like. definitely an improvement on my last image from about a year ago, but one clear thing is that taking images inside city does have down side.
I donno, weather into the week is iffy so i am glad i went for it. need to take more darks, tonight should be just as cold as light night. So 1D3 will be outside house taking darks, while I'm out shooting something else... or maybe time to touch that vixen.
Taken with Skywatcher 3" Refractor and a Canon 600D at Prime Focus. Baader Astrosolar Filter fitted to telescope. Settings are F7.5 ISO 100 1600th second exposure. Focal length of scope is 600mm. Best 20 of 45 images stacked in Registax 6 after processing with PIPP.
Taken using a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor with a Canon 600D at prime focus ( 600mm ) Telescope fitted with a Baader Astrosolar Filter. Best 20 of 40 images stacked using Registax 6. Seeing excellent today.
The Apennine Mountain Range. The Crater bottom left is Eratosthenes. To the top just to the right of centre is the landing site for Apollo 15.
First go at imaging the Space Station using a Barlow with my scope and webcam. Really hard to keep it in view. I think I got about 7 usable frames out of 3000.
This is a 3-panel mosaic of the region around NGC7023, in the constellation Cepheus, taken during May this year. The designation NGC 7023 actually refers to the open cluster of stars within the larger blue reflection nebula which is designated as LBN 487.
NGC 7023, also known as the Iris Nebula because of its flower-like shape, is a bright reflection nebula. The bluish glow of the nebula comes from a hot, massive star at the centre of the nebula. Blue light from the star is scattered off dust grains in the nebula, giving it its distinctive colour. The dust can also be seen on the outer portions of the nebula, where it has a brownish colour and blocks out stars behind it.
To the right of NGC 7023 lies another reflection nebula, SH2-136. The nebula’s clouds of dust and gas have shapes that resemble human figures with their arms raised, giving rise to its popular name as the Ghost Nebula. These clouds contain several young stars whose light makes the nebula glow a brownish colour.
Halfway between the Iris and Ghost nebulae lies the orange / red star, T – Cephei. This is a red giant star coming towards the end stages of its life. If it was in the same place as our Sun, it would reach out beyond the orbit of Mars.
