Well here I am at the finish line finally.
This past season gave me over 10 oz’s. I’m set for a while, a long while.
I’m gonna have to vacuum seal most up because it’ll go bad otherwise. I’ll never smoke this much. What a problem to have.
Have a good one folks..

OK @Twelve1 Here ya go. I’ve only been able to get 3 images since end of April due to the summer clouds at night. It sucks her but if we have the clear nights in fall and winter like last year it will be worth the wait.
M51 , the Whirlpool Galaxy was my first image with my setup. The image is just so so due to being new to the process, getting better though.
The next one is M13, the great Globular Cluster in Hercules, so many stars, damn..
And the last one is the North American Nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. I been having fun processing it with different looks.
I’ve come to realize that capturing the image is a lot easier than processing it, imo. That too shall pass.
The image above the 4 panel is the same , just rotated and cropped. And they call that region the Cygnus Wall. This is a large Nebula about 100 light years across so you need more of a wider angle lens to get it all in.
The best is yet to come..

Just beautiful and amazing. I got m13 many moons ago in Amarillo. Wonderful skies in the TX panhandle with my first setup. Its really impressive what you’re doing.

(“star” struck, get it?! , but true!)
So gorgeous and amazing!
The pi spiral Whirlpool and the Globular Cluster are very cool nature’s artwork, and the NA Nebula is amazing, too!

Hi Kapp, It really depends of the magnitude of the object and the focal length and aperture of your scope The Whirlpool galaxy had 50 at 120 sec + about a hundred calibration frames. I didn’t get enough exposure time to get what I needed. Being it was my first capture I had plenty of problems getting started that night. I was buggin the hell out of Ai but without having Ai to assist It would be a nightmare to figure this process out. I’ll get it next year when it’s back in my neighborhood.
The Cluster had shorter exposures so as to not blow out the core at 30s each and a total of 500 + about a hundred calibration frames.
The Nebula had 51- 5 min exposures + a hundred calibration frames. Fainter dimmer images require longer exposure times.
I guess I got a little carried away with the answer.. 
I’m really looking forward to the winter. There’s a lot of great nebula coming back.
