I do my imaging in suburban Sydney with a Meade 8" LX200R, DSI Pro II, Orion Starshoot Pro and an Orion ED80. Also starting to work visually with a 6" MAK

Omega Centauri

 

Taken with the ED80 - 3 RAW subs at 400 seconds each. I like this glob!

 

 

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.

Horsehead and Alnitak Region

 

Taken with the ED80 - 5 RAW subs at 500 seconds each.

 33% of Full Scale          

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.
