The Leo Triplet captured in March 2022 as a 2-panel mosaic. By Dean Ashton
NGC 6888 Crescent Nebula
Three nights 12th and 13th June, 1st July. 6.7 hours of data reduced through PixInsight Blink and NormalizeScaleGradient. May try less aggressive culling next time. First time trying HOO.

NGC6205 – M13
M 13 imaged on 20th April 2024. It was on my list for a while so I decided a one night window on the weather would suit this target. Integrated in PixInsight WBPP2 with 2X drizzle. Saturation adjustments were carried out in Photoshop Camera Raw Filter as a 16 bit TIF before saving the JPEG. By Barry Trudgian
M82-Dean-Ashton
A combination technique for creating an HaRGB image. Data: 31x600s RGB data with Optolong L-Pro filter; 35x600s Ha data using LeNhance and LeXtreme filters with OSC. By Dean Ashton
M101 – NGC5457
42x600s exposures of M101 captured on the 22 and 25 May, 2023, showing super nova 2023ixf. The image has been enhanced by addition of 95x600s exposures that I took in March 2020 of M101 using a Celestron Nightscape 10100 CCD camera but with the same scope and filter.
SN2023ixf was only taken from the 2023 exposures and cloned on to the full 137x600s image, at the linear phase of the processing so that the relative brightness of the supernova compared with foreground stars remains accurate. By Dean Ashton.
