Just over 4.5 hours of 10 second images of the galaxy cluster Abell 1185 in Ursa Major resulted in many more tiny galaxies in the photo than I expected. All images taken with a #SeeStar S50 and processed with #AstroPixelProcessor and #PixInsight.

The skies are reasonably clear. I took 811 × 20 sec of pics with a #SeeStar S50 on M 51 of which I discarded 41 manually due to clouds. Of the remaining files, AstroPixelProcessor stacked 80% resulting in about 3h 25m of data.

The Owl Nebula (M 97, lower left) and M 108 (upper right). I took 4h 44m of 10 sec images with a #SeeStar S50, stacked them in AstroPixelProcessor and post-processed the result in PixInsight.

North America #nebula and the Pelican nebula in #cygnus. Imaged with #dwarflab Dwarf 3 robotic telescope and duoband filter under light polluted skies. And the skies do not get real dark anyway now at 51N. Processing of the raws in #astropixelprocessor and #pixinsight. #astronomy #astrophotography

Never knew how frustrating an #astronomy mosaic can be to process. Six panel M31 (Andromeda); AstroPixelProcessor for stacking, PI for stitching and post-processing. Probably a bit heavy handed, took a lot of work to remove the stitching of the frames.

Somehow the "distortion correction" that AstroPixelProcessor applied to the two M51 frames I was trying to add up has acted like a black hole :-) 🔭🧪⚛️

What can be done with a cheap mini smart #telescope like the #Dwarf Mini from #Dwarflab.
This is M35 and NGC2158 in Gemini. One hour exposure from #Bortle 7 light pollution. Processed in #AstroPixelProcessor and PS.

Weather is beginning to look a lot like last year for #Astrophotography. But despite that, I was able to collect some data every now and then on the Rosette Nebula for a little mosaic, with my 130mm Newton. Stacked with DSS and combined with APP.

The #TriangulumGalaxy is so fun because of all of the #Nebula you can see in it from here.

For subjects like The Elephant Trunk Nebula I use a black and white camera with special filters to record each color separately. Some of the filters are so specific, they can be used in the light polluted city. #LosAngelesAstronomicalSociety #Astrophotography #Astro

Another attempt at the Orion Nebula from light polluted San Francisco. This time I performed all the calibration steps (flats, darks, bias) and it really made a difference.

The Cocoon Nebula is my first astrophoto to start digging deeper into combining AstroPixelProcessor and PixInsight in my postprocessing. More on that in just a second.

This image combines 10 hours of 3 minute exposures on some darker Indiana nights. 🔭🧪

In one corner of #Pleiades is #Merope #Nebula, a beautifully textured area of fine Carbon dust illuminated by the nearby stars. While it’s easy to see the stars, you will need a good #telescope to see the nebula around them. #LosAngelesAstronomicalSociety #Astrophotography #Space #AstroPhoto
