Deep Sky Astrophotography

classic andromeda galaxy
...
i dont know if it s overprocess?

Beautiful telemaq76, not an overprocess, but maybe reduce the tint, more green and less purple.

well my first version was too green, i prefer on purple but i ll try on next to find the good balance ...

new picture of ngc 5070 between clouds, sky was not great but pretty happy with the result,was not excpecting that with bad seeing

29x 210 sec exposure f4 iso-800
dark, flat, offset

Iris and photoshop

Beautiful picture. Well done, telemaq76.

I like the 3 dimensionality you get with the deeper exposures.
One day when I'm big...

nice.

if you look VERY closely at the bright wall in the bottom right of the nebula, you can see a dark tendril pointing back to the centre of the nebula. At the tip of this if you zoom in is a bright line across the tenridl, a bit like a bow wave.

If you look this up it's a "Herbig-Haro" object.

i tried ic1396,elephant nebula with 500mm with no guiding. not easy, 61 pictures of 210 sec +dark, flat, offset

Stunning picture. It's beautiful.

You're making me jealous with these!

I created a GIF of Scorpion being traced out over my wide-field image from earlier this month.

one year with bad weather but this last month was pretty damn good
. i had some good time to shoot this heart nebula
57 x 150 sec +dark, flat, offset
canon 700da+500f4is+neq6pro

Awesome. It's beautiful. Well done, telemaq76.

2 last shoots before rain come back, august month was great for me
Ic11 nebula


and
wizardy nebula

Beautiful shots, telemaq76. Well done.

Telemaq, you have been getting some great results lately! I particularly like your Wizard...floating in space like that, with the almost rainbow palette. Very nice.

While this was not done with a Canon camera, I have been quite amazed at the capabilities of the ASI1600MM-Cool. Once cooled to -20C, there is so little dark current that cooling more deeply doesn't really matter unless you need extremely long exposures. And long exposures can be a pain...so I decided to do the inverse...see what I could do at a high gain with short exposures. This is a mere 1h45m of total integration, 9x90s Ha, 25x90s OIII and 36x90s SII, all from 3nm AstroDon narrow band filters:

These were done at gain 200, which is 0.485e-/ADU, with a bias offset of 50e-. In 16-bit terms, the gain is a massive 0.03e-/ADU!

WOW! There are some pretty impressive images getting shown here! You people are an inspiration and I look forward to your next images! Thank you for posting!

A beautiful image! How did you do it?

Stunning picture. 8) It's beautiful. Well done, telemaq76.

Here's my Andromeda galaxy done with my stock 500d (which is about to quit on me, sometimes it doesn't turn on and that will be the end of me) and an old Jupiter 21M 200mm I got for 50 euro.1 min at iso 800 f5.6 about 60 min integration time and about 40-50 (or so I think) darks.Im not sure about the number of darks because deep sky stacker does not seem to be loading the file lists I create with darkmaster correctly.1st group is empty(I've read that's normal), second is ok but the next group is missing a lot of darks!Any idea what's going on?

OOFT. I've been targeting Andromeda recently, but this is so much better than anything I can do! And with modest equipment, well done!
