Here are some of my photos….
Some pics from January 4th and 5th, 2016, Orion Atlas EQ-G, FS102 Takahashi, Orion Magnificent Mini AutoGuider Package and a friend’s Nikon D5300. Images were stacked using Nebulosity4. Post processed with Photoshop. Seeing wasn’t nearly as good as our November outing. Wasn’t sure about iso’s, duration or quantity of shots. Used ISO 1250 average captures 60-90 seconds x 20 . Looking back I think a lower ISO possibly 800, longer capture time possibly 2 or 3 minutes, and more captures 30? Here they are…please excuse the amp glow on some of them ( I cropped it out on a few).
M81 & M82 and Double Cluster in Perseus.
The Flame Nebula & Horse Head Nebula and a chopped off Pleades!.
M33, M77, and M78.
Thanks to some awesome people on Night Skies Network I am starting to get the hang of photo shop! (thanks Chris and Tom)

I cut off part of the Pleiades lol… it was so cold I wasn’t thinking to straight!

This was taken October 18, 2015, in my backyard between the trees. Couldn’t get the autoguider to work so stacked a few 30 second exposures iso 400. Used Gimp to clean up a dust bunny! Orion Atlas EQ-G, FS102 Takahashi and a friend’s Nikon.
