We had a couple of nice nights to get a shot of comet Lemmon. There were trees in the line of site so it was still a little bright when taking the shot. Ioptron 30pro ASI 533mc Canon 100mm f2.8 macro Lens 39 60 sec subs Pixinsight and Photoshop

Thanks Mike, it took me 2 1/2 years to get this one. It sure was nice to have a night of steady skies.

Thanks Jim, I'll keep trying to get the best shot I can. I'm hopiung to get some more deep sky images before the rains come.

Thanks Alan, I am taking advantage every chance I get.

I finally had a very good night for shooting the planets. I was ready to give up on my planetary imaging since moving to Oregon from florida over two years ago. This was taken with the Celestron 9.25 Edge with a 2.5 Powermate and the ASI 224 camera. I stacked 20% of 2000 frames in Autostakkert...

Thank You Mike

Thank you Jim!

ASI 1600mm Celestron 9.25 edge with 0.7 reducer. AP Mach 1 mount 20-300 sec Ha 43 300 Sec OIII 56-300 sec SII Pix insight, Photoshop, Topaz denoise

Nice shot Mike. I see a horse with its legs and butt in the center and legs going down.

Thanks Jim! They now make them so you can use them for solar and deep sky. You wouldn't be sorry getting a solar scope.

Yes it is and chages quickly. When I first looked the big one on the top left was much brighter, by the time I set up for photography is changed in brightness.

The sun had much activity this late afternoon. This is taken with the Lunt60 and ASI1600mm camera. Best 80% of 600 frames.

Thanks! I probably should have taken some rgb shots also.

I thought this one was pretty interesting. Looks like a football or a kids drawing of Saturn. Celestron Edge 9.25 w/reducer 30-120 sec Ha and 30-120 sec OIII ASI 1600mm camera.

Thanks Jim, it's about the same size as the ring.

I took this shot with the Celestron 9.25 Edge and 0.7 reducer. ASI 1600 mm. 40 - 60 sec subs for each color filter. I did not do luminance subs. The shot is cropped considerably. Bortle 7

I should have taken two or 3 different exposures and do a hdr composition in pixinsight and then a hdr multiscale tranfomation. I just tried the hdr multiscale transformation and tried every way possible and couldn't get good results. I got tied of processing it so this was the final.

Thanks Mike, You can really get hooked on imaging the sun, it changes so much. I take out the solar scope almost every sunny day. If there is something of interest especially large prominences I take some videos and do a quick process, don't have to spend much time on it unless you want to do...

Thanks Jim!

I combined the rgb from the ASI 533 MC with the Ha and OII of the ASI 1600mm using the NBRGBcombine script. I did 42-360 sec Ha, 30 -360 sec OII and 90-60 sec subs rgb. I wish I would have done less time on the narrowband because it was difficult to bring out the core.
