I do my imaging in suburban Sydney with a Meade 8" LX200R, DSI Pro II, SBIG ST8300C and an Orion ED80. I also do visual work with a 6" Skywatcher MAK

Sundog
A sundog or Parhelia taken by my wife through our car window with a Nokia 5MP camera phone on Easter Sunday 4th April 2010 late in the afternoon.
See the Atmospheric Optics Site @ http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/parhelia.htm for more details on Sundogs.
M42
Taken at F10 through the LX200 - 10 Raw subs of 500 seconds each
Omega Centauri
Taken with the ED80 - 3 RAW subs at 400 seconds each.
Leo Triplet
Taken with the ED80 - 6 RAW subs at 400 seconds each. My first attempt. Light pollution was pretty bad though
M83 - Southern Spiral
Taken with the ED80 - 3 RAW subs at 600 seconds each. These are the longest exposures I've taken yet. LP is bad though and it shows in all of my galaxy images. They will also benefit from better scale - must try at f10
NGC 2070 - Tarantula Nebula
Taken with the ED80 - 9 RAW subs at 300 seconds each.
Reduced Scale
Horsehead and Alnitak Region
Taken with the ED80 - 5 RAW subs at 500 seconds each.

M20 Trifid Nebula
Taken with the ED80 - 9 RAW subs at 400 seconds each. This is a reprocess of the original above.

NGC 253
Taken with the ED80 - 6 RAW subs at 300 seconds each.

This one was more noisy - I believe due to a 13.7v power supply I was using. Using a 12v supply seems to fix the problem.
M17 Swan Nebula
Taken with the ED80 - 5 RAW subs at 300 seconds each.

M8 Lagoon Nebula
Taken with the ED80 - 5 RAW subs at 300 sec each

Processed in CCDStack with darks and some (not so good) flats. I've included reduced and full scale versions.
