This was the other project that I was going to work on with the 105mm lens. The Vela Super nova and the Gums. Also in an area not far from the Carina Area, This show you more the relation ship of the parts to each other. This has been worth while using just a Nikon lens to capture there and i quite good detail.

  

This was shot over two nights Nikon 105mm F2.8 Macro lens in total 100 odd shots. Its good to see most of the target I have taken over the last few years with the ED80 in reality to each other. I make no apology for the number of stars in the shot.

I was trying out some new equipment when I thought I would try Carina as it was over head. At one point I had to go inside the smoke was so strong and the Guiding got very bad. Only the Second shot I have done that was almost totally edited in PixInsight never see the amount of nebulocity around the main nebula. the mount stopped as the house next door got in the way enjoy the Southern hemisphere at 900mm.

Three consecutive nights of shots in the city light area some with moon light some with no moon. 118 shots 10 min ISO 200 Guided PHD2 Dev3. Shot DSLR Nikon D810 using a Skywatcher ED80.

 

This was a case of set and let it auto start in SGP each night in the end close to 20 hours of shot time in total. First time all of this has gone without a hitch all in auto mode starting and stopping by itself.

 

Most of this editing was stretching very little colour edit as much as possible as shot. I wanted all the colour that is around the nebula as well as the nebula. Only very small crop to remove stacking artifacts.

  

A target I did a year ago with my DSLR and ED80 this is almost the other way around ZWO camera and 300mm Prime Nikon lens. the original shot give a good idea just how far in a year thing have improved. The Camera and lens rotated within the lens holder so the wings went from side to side across the whole picture. The next project is a wide field of the same area with 100mm lens.

shot in two nights close to new moon under a bortle 5+ sky

This is the result Of shooting three nights in a Row with out a moon or clouds. In total 68 shots or 11 1/2 hours shot time I had the trees one side and the house the other so limited my number of shot to 30odd a night. The shots guided with PHD2 Dev3 which proved very good at guiding. For the first time editing done in Pix Insight, Photoshop and Finished out in Light room. This is the Skywatcher ED 80 scope at work with the D810 the extra detail that came out with each night photos added made this worth while.

Getting to know Nina better.

The Perseus double cluster complex imaged during a brief period of clear weather on night of 9th October. Consisting of two open star clusters NGC869 (top) and NGC884 (below) the complex lies at a distance of around 7500 lightyears from us.

 

Both clusters contain hot white and blue-white comparatively young stars as well as some supergiant red ones. These red/orange stars are more numerous within NGC884.

 

The clusters are physically close in space and are believed to contain at least 300 hot-white and blue-white super massive, super-luminous, giant stars in each cluster.

 

Conditions were not great with clouds coming and going with variable transparency on Saturday night. Eventually fog and mist moved in calling a halt to my imaging session and I had to trash a number of exposures.

 

Imaged with my little Skywatcher 72ED refractor with flattener and a ZWO ASI2600MC camera.

The name of this one how could I resist. Has been a cloud fight to get the shots over 4 night in very strong winds. this sits just below the Horse head nebula and just off the red ring that goes around Orion. Barnards loop the goes around half of the Orion area, Barnards loop I will wait for moon less night to try and get this target with my 50mm F1.8 lens ZWOASI071.

After cloud cover all day a brief unexpected clearance last night allowed me to image the waxing moon.

 

The moon is approx. 85% illuminated and the brightest area of the moon, the crater Aristarchus, is nicely contrasted within the gloom of the lunar terminator. (LHS)

 

The subtle colour variations within the moon's surface are also nicely revealed.

 

My small short focal length refractor, a Skywatcher ED72, was already mounted and I attached it to a Nikon D5300 DSLR to capture this image.

  

Luna 19 May 2013.

 

I was determined to try my first real session of astrophotography using my new telescope last night, but a failure to correctly polar align, as well as incoming clouds put an end to that idea.

 

I did however manage to observe saturn which was amazing, and of course Luna.

 

This was taken prime using a Canon 1000D (baader modified) through my Skywatcher 200P-DS. I need to get a 2" barlow :)

Found in the constellation of Orion (near the feet of Gemini!) NGC 2174 is an HII emission rich nebula.

 

Lying at a distance of 6,400 light years the nebula is a stellar nursery where hot, new stars are being formed.

 

I was able to gather some OIII data in addition to the Ha data I had acquired on the 23 & 26.02.19.

 

The Ha data was mapped to the red channel and the OIII data was mapped to the blue channel.

A synthetic green channel was created using a blend of the blue and red data.

 

A blend of the Ha and OIII data was used as luminance.

 

Imaged with a focal reduced Skywatcher ED80 refractor and a ZWO 1600MM Pro camera cooled to -15C. I used Baader narrowband filters.

This is 12 shots(6x2) as the milky way rises in our Southern Skies as per the plan by Nina, This Is Not Seen North Of The Equator. This is halfway to where I want to get there is another panorama of 12 shots to go to get to the panorama I took last year. Each Panel is a night worth of shots then added to PtGui to get the panorama. There positively no edits on the stars this is the number that the camera can see.

This image shows the AZ-GTI carrying a heavy load with a William Optics Megrez 88 telescope, a ZWO ASI 1600MM Pro astro camera, a filter wheel and an autoguider.

 

The images I take with my Skywatcher AZ-GTI mount raise many questions about how I can use this ALT/AZ mount for astrophotography.

 

I recently wrote an article about the topic that should answer most of these questions. You find it under:

Sur cette photo, j'ai capturé la grande nébuleuse d'Orion SH 2-281 et une petite partie de la nébuleuse de l'homme qui cours SH 2-279 en dessous sur la photo.

Ces nébuleuses sont distantes de 1350 années lulières et ont un diamètre de 24 années lumières. Ce sont des nébuleuses en émission (les gaz chauffés par les étoiles voisines emettent de la lumière) et en réflexion (les gaz et poussières reflettent la lumière des étoiles).

In this photo, I captured the Great Orion Nebula SH 2-281, along with a small portion of the Running Man Nebula SH 2-279, visible at the bottom of the image.

These nebulae are located about 1,350 light-years from Earth and span approximately 24 light-years in diameter.

They are both emission nebulae (where gas heated by nearby stars emits its own light) and reflection nebulae (where dust and gas reflect the light of surrounding stars).

Part of an HII (ionized Hydrogen) region in Cassiopeia the Pacman Nebula is a bright emission nebula.

 

Named for its resemblance to the video game character the nebula lies at a distance of around 9500 light years from earth.

 

This image captured in narrowband Ha light was acquired over 2 nights - 17 & 18th September in strong moonlight. After a prolonged period (seemingly never-ending!) of poor skies was glad to be out imaging again!

 

Hopefully will have some OIII and SII to add later.

An image of Friday night's (24th) waxing gibbous moon. The moon was almost 12 days old and almost 92% illuminated.

 

The full moon on the 27th November is also known as the Beaver Moon in Native North American culture. It is also known as the Freezing or Frost Moon as a nod to the weather conditions which become prevalent at this time of year.

 

Imaged with a Skywatcher Esprit 120ED and a ZWO 2600MC. Some nice subtle colours evident which are as a result of the lunar geology. Comparatively Titanium rich areas giving a bluish colour, whilst those areas richer in Iron account for the more brown regions. The radiating ray systems of Copernicus and Tycho craters are well seen.

Wiki: The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as the Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, and NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula (nebulosity surrounding a white dwarf) in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. It was the first such nebula to be discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764.

 

This is a beautiful and easy target for amateur astronomers. This picture is probably my best so far for this target!

The heart of the Heart nebula revisited using the "natural palette" with special attention to the dark nebulas there.

 

It a complete rework of a previous image made on SHOrgb.

A total of 57 hours of integration and a lot of intermediate version on the process.

 

Still I think that I could obtain more details, but this will be next year (maybe :P ).
