Um, the Moon?
Tarantula Nebula in narrowband Nov 2018 from LMDSS
M83 (Southern Pinwheel Galaxy) LRGB image from LMDSS 22 April 2018
M47 taken at the Messier Star Party 2021
M16 Eagle Nebula. SHO narrowband background plus RGB stars
M16 reprocessed using APP's RGBSHO facility
Large Magellanic Cloud: Canon 50mm f/1.4, ASI071MC-P
M16 Eagle Nebula (PIllars of Creation). I didn't do the processing on this one - that particaulr magic was done by an expert on the Pentax Forum.
Galactic core from Wonga campground, Wyperfeld NP, 9 April 2016. Pentax K3-II, 10mm fisheye f/4.5, 220s, ISO 400, Astrotracer.
Ashen light
At the ASV Star-be-cue
General view of the field at Tamleugh, 13 July 2018
Lunar Eclipse 1-Feb-2018. Composite photo with 2s exposure at totality for colour and 1/1000s exposure taken before first contact as luminance. I cheated, so sue me.
Up on a pier at the LMDSS
Omega Centauri from Leon Mow
This is what I was fighting!
Nearly complete. Autofocuser in place, the only thing left is an electronic filter wheel.
The office at the dark sky site. We'll call it "open plan".
IC2944 Running Chicken Nebula SHO
Horsehead nebula in SHO from LMDSS
HaRGB - RGB are 7x120s exposures, Ha is an HDR of 60s, 120s, 300s and 600s
Frankenphoto! Ha data from a couple of years ago, different gain, different rotation, different location. Sii and Oiii from home during Coronavirus lockdown.
EtaCarina from Leon Mow (near full moon)
NGC1365 the Great Barred Galaxy. Taken with two different scopes and cameras. Ha and Lum on an ASI1600MM-P and RGB on an ASI071MC-P
Southern Cross and Pointers. ASI071MC-P with Canon 50mm lens
Sh2-308 in HOO. Nearly no response in Hydrogen.
Carina Nebula from home without Hydrogen, just Sulphur and Oxygen. No flats or bias either (terrible equipment failure).
Rough processing of M16, taken from LMDSS 19-20 August 2017.
