First wide angle wide field MilkyWay attempts tonight

Canon 6d
Rokinon 14mm f2.8

First shot is a single image at 6400 iso 10second exposure

Second shot is 20stacked 10second shots together

I’ve got big focus issues at the moment though 😞 so hard to focus on wide angle will need a focus mask I think for this lens (my telescope one doesn’t work)

Amazing to think we are in there apart of that galaxy

Only got 1 image of this one but will stack more data on it as didnt know how cool it looked so only took one image!

The Trifid Nebula (m20)

and

The Lagoon Nebula

Me verses Nasa.. who will win LMAO!!

M16 (The Eagle Nebula) includes what i think is the best regions of space from the Hubble space telescope image the famous "pillars of creation" inside of it

I cant do Nasa's version justice here in my back yard hehe but ill sure try lol hubble's 189 feet focal length (right image) verses my 550mm (left) love it that i have to point out which ones nasa's hahahah well i think i did well ;)

Added 2 hours of extra data to it from lastnight but there’s diminishing returns now. It’s as good as it’s going to get I think if it’s 1 hour of data or 1000 hours it’s really not much different on this target now 😉 but I do love the starless version I did when I removed them makes the nebula pop a lot more

Carina Nebula again.

Was testing a different filter on the camera, this is just one image! normally have to take hundreds of images, hours of data, and stack them on top of each other bringing out more and more of the details as it goes.

but this night all i could get between the clouds was one 6 minute exposure.

Still blown away that this is just one single shot.

Cannot wait to use this filter to collect more images and stack them can only image how much more detail it will bring out 🙂

Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex. Rho Ophiuchi is a dark nebula of gas and dust that is located 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi of the constellation Ophiuchus (close to the red Supergiant star Antares)

One of the most colourful regions in our night sky’s 🙂

100 x 30 second exposures at 135mm camera lens.

Couldn’t get longer exposures in my backyard was way too blown out. Need darker sky’s and better nights but I’m pretty impressed with what I ended up with with only about an hour of data, no need for telescope on this one it’s a wide field target. 135mm this shot is but would have been better and got more of the darker regions of gas with a shorter focal length like 50mm.

Devils Comet 12P/Pons–Brooks

All i could get from the limited time it was right above the horizon, maybe next month it will be higher in the sky and then i get not see the sun set at bottom of image will help alot in taking longer exposures to help get more detail. surprised i got anything out of the data i got really.
