These are two of the brightest DSOs in Cygnus. A great constellation to find interesting objects. It is up most of the summer for those of us in the Northern hemisphere.

I loved the way the Milky Way was framed between these two trees near Tioga Lake, just outside Yosemite National Park a couple weeks ago!
Taken with a TMB92L, Canon T3i DSLR, and Celestron CG-4 mount. Consists of 29 40-second light frames and 24 40-second dark frames, 25 5-second light frames and 25 5-second dark frames, all at ISO 800, as well as 11 flat images, stacked in DeepSkyStacker and processed in Photoshop.
This is my first image using my new autoguider.

Having had no time for imaging recently, and working on some good data from the last winter star party, I've found this in the 2012 wst folder. Not a very deep acquisition indeed but, still interesting. The image comes out from two very different dataset. The base image was been acquired with an Officina Stellare Veloce RH200 f3 coupled with a prototype Stalight XPress one shot color ccd on an Avalon mount. It consist of onlyy 3 frames of 30 min each. The second datasaet comes from an Officina Stellare RiFast 400mm f3.8 with a FLI ML 11002 ccd and was only luminance. The scope was on a Paramount ME guided in parallel with a Borg 125mm refractor with a Sbig STV. Exposures was 8 5min each. This is the result using All the images as luminance and the Starlight ones as colours. Total exposure time is about 2.15 hours. The image is a full res crop in bin1x1 as it comes out from the Veloce telescope.
Thanks!

Located in the southern constellation of Centaurus, NGC 5139 is the largest globular cluster in the Milky Way.

Cygni is at a distance from Earth estimated at around 1,174 light years.
This is a "first light" image ( Ha RGB ) using the new camera SX-46 with and SX Maxi wheel from Starlight Xpress Ltd . It utilises the KAF-16200 sensor, which has an 'APS-H' format array of 27 x 21.6 mm, 6uM square pixels. The SX-46 pairs very well with my Newtonian telescope at at 1330mm.

NGC 2174 (The Monkey Head Nebula) is an HII emission nebula above the star Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion. It lies within our Milky Way Galaxy, approximately 6,400 light years from Earth. This low-density cloud is an active region of star formation. Young stars emit ultraviolet light, which ionizes the hydrogen gas making the nebula glow.
This image is our first light image from our 4 Telescope Array, a unique setup comprising four Officina Stellare RH300 telescopes on an Officina Stellare polar fork mount. The robust mount includes a custom bracket system, allowing each of the four telescopes to be precisely pointed at the same location in space. Last year we had great success photographing wide field targets with one RH300 telescope. Placing four telescopes on one mount quadruples our productivity, allowing us to accumulate four times the data each night in our short imaging season.
The array is controlled with a custom version of Voyager, astrophotography system control software developed by our Italy-based friend Leonardo Orazi. Leo developed a server-client system, allowing us to control all four imaging systems through one window.
The image was shot by the SC Observatory team (Mike Selby, Stefan Schmidt, Andy Chatman) from our Samphran, Thailand based observatory. 477 exposures totalling more than 37 hours were processed in PixInsight and Photoshop. Narrowband Hydrogen Alpha, Oxygen 3 and Sulfur 2 were mapped to Red, Green and Blue channels respectively. RGB images were captured for accurate star colors.
Its been an interesting year.
Starting with Venus at Inferior Conjunction in January, Saturn Moon Occultation in May, Lunar eclipse and large sunspot in October, now an awesome comet to finish the year and start the next.
Even better has been all the people I have met on the way, thank you all for your awesomeness and lets make 2015 even better
Picture taken yesterday: The Wall, America Nebula, NGC7000. 240 minutes total exposure time. Narrowband (h-alpha, SII, OIII). ASA 10" f3.6, FLI ML8300, ASA DDM85.

Messier 83 in the constellation Hydra is a fantastic spiral galaxy and relatively bright, being visible in binoculars under dark skies. It is approximately 15 million light years away with the star forming regions being very evident as the red patches in this LRGB image. This image was captured robotically from Siding Spring Observatory in NSW Australia where this object is much better placed than for northern hemisphere observers.
