My master astrophotography thread (OP updated)

Some requested I make one giant thread where I post all my pics, so here it is. I actually was trying a new program today and redid some pics again.

So, here are a few of the pics I've taken and I'll add more later:

Andromeda:

Rosette Nebular:

Bode's Galaxy and Cigar Galaxy:

M42 (Great Orion Nebula) and Running Man:

Pleidaes:

Triangulum Galaxy:

M42 with the Flame and Horsehead Nebula:

Couple more:

Horsehead and Flame Nebula:

Rosette, Flame and Horse Nebula with part of Barnard's Loop:

Thanks for sharing. These photos makes me wish that we could travel among the stars.

Can you do pictures of the planets on that thing? Why is it we get these great pictures of Galaxies that are millions of light years away, but we cannot get a decent picture of stuff within our own solar system? Such as Pluto, or Ceres, or the asteroid belt?? It's weird how the optics for that stuff works.

Damn, I feel like this is your job now, not a hobby!

Cool, thanks. I was just using andromeda as an example, I think it was September or thereabouts that I last tried to look for it.

I use starchart as well and it works really well for what I need.

Thanks. It wasn't that much time. It went behind a tree after not long.
