Elephant Trunk Nebula, HA/OII 30/16 2 minute frames. 46 minutes total first time using StellarMate Pro. First clear night in a long time. Bortle 8.4 skies.

Phone version of M16

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

I managed to get 1 hour integration time with my new mono camera. Phone version is next.

@KathyUtsler Same image, different processing.

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

The moon last month. Earth reflection.

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

Had to stay up really late for this one, early in the season but it came out better than I expected. M16 - Eagle Nebula

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

Another widefield image, FRA300 and ASI2600MC Pro, 47 120 second subframes and Pixinsight / RC-Astro magic. Stars not tame yet.

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

Still learning - Widefield, looks amazing!

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

Learning PixInsight and RC-Astro, IC434 using ASIAir / AS2600MC Pro / Askar FRA300 in Bortle 9 skies.

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

Heart and Soul nebula.

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

Unprocessed past ASI Studio, M51 using through a Celestron 6SE. First time success!

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

I didn't think it could be done with an Askar 60mm F5.0 telescope but here it is. M51, cropped from the ASI2600MC Pro.

Heart and Soul Nebula from Florida on the longest night of the year. Raw 30x120 second stack using Askar FRA300 and ZWO ASI2600MC camera.

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

Only used Android photo editing after stacking. ASI533MC pro camera during a full moon, dew on guiding scope in bortle 8 skies and clouds,

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

First light with Celestron AVX mount, ASIAIR and Askar FRA300 scope in 8.5 bortle skies after smoke, light pollution and humidity haze almost ruined the night.

@DellComando @AJamesMcCarthy If you want an awesome starter telescope that will allow you to see deep space objects, look up dwarf labs dwarf3. It uses a very good camera, small and you can use a camera tripod for EQ tracking. It's about that range, supports up to 3 connections and shows you live stacking.

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

@AJamesMcCarthy From Florida using the dwarf 3. This is not anything close to your quality but hopefully it can encourage others to get involved. I tried and failed to overcome the steep learning curve that you have done so well. This does everything for you.

[Mark Andrews @MarkAndrewsReal]

Astrophotography in a box, Dwarf 3 makes it easy. This was taken from, ready for this? A South Florida back yard. Florida!

@HCSOSheriff A little calculation based on GPS position, altitude and camera angle and bam! Address precisely disclosed. Stupid people think they can get away with it.
