All this stuff was taken with my K1, K3, K5, and K01 through my 8RC, ES Comet Hunter, AT65Q, and TMB92 on my iOptron SmartEQ Pro, ZEQ25, IEQ45, and CEM60 mounts and guiding via MGEN II other than the 30s unguided ones on the SmartEQ Pro since I only have 3 of them. I did not haul the SN10 or the LX850 12" ACF f/8 out. All stacked in DSS, all processed in Photoshop CS6, none processed over 15 minutes. I need to slow down and spend time so I can get to Pete levels of goodness. I've had 3 clear nights this months. Here's what I got on the Pentax cameras.

Bubble Nebula and M52 area - slightly screwed up on this but I'm not saying how



Deer Lick Group and Stephans Quintet - just can't seem to get this one, so I may post the data and let others have a crack at it



Flame and Horsehead nebulae - ES is working with me to get collimation solved on this scope



Helix Nebula - yeah, I went after it again



Flaming Star Nebula - need to redo this one



Jellyfish Nebula - individual images are fine, somehow the stacked version is soft



Elephant Trunk Nebula - how in the world do people get this thing?



Witch Head Nebula



M2



M15



Dumbbell Nebula



Triangulum Galaxy - collimation issues



Great Orion and Running Man nebulae - a bunch of 30s exposures



Pleiades



M56



M78 - focus slipped and I did not recheck. I need one of those temperature adjustable focuser addons.



M92



NGC246 - really screwed up by not rechecking focus



NGC247 - ugh, seeing was horrendous that night



NGC253 - less than a half hour worth



NGC253 and NGC288



California Nebula - first light with teh astro modded K5 and TMB92 refractor.



Crescent Nebula - going to get this one again hopefully before it is too late this year if the clouds leave. I have had my K5 astro modded now. I picked it up for that.



North American Nebula



Veil Nebula complex I can pull more out, but then I get reflections from a bright star screwing up the top of the frame



Western Veil nebula - bunch of 30s exposures



Eastern Veil Nebula - bunch of 30s full spectrum exposures



Wizard Nebula - was a complete accident. I meant to get the lobster claw nebula area.

Kule. Are you sure it is NGC 255?, and not NGC 253. NGC 255 is a barred spiral. Thanks for sharing these.

That's fantastic VoR!

Typo on my part

Thanks!

Wow! Good stuff. I especially liked M78. Going to put it on my list.

Thanks! I am going after it again since it was slightly out of focus.

Whoa! That's a lotta good astro, man! I was particularly taken with NGC 253 myself. You're setting a pretty keen pace.

"With my Pentax cameras" -- dear Bog, do you mean you did MORE imaging than this with other ones this month?!

Yep, also used my Samsung Mini and ASI178MC.

Wow, spectacular

Thanks!

Great Showcase of work VoR! We've had a dearth of clear nights in Texas here. I have to vicariously enjoy your shots. Thanks for sharing!

We have only had 3 clear nights this month here in Indiana, and even then not the entire night!

Well done really enjoyed the pics.

Mike

Now I really want to get out with what gear I have but it doesn't look good here. So far I think I have had only 2 clear nights this month, neither of which I could have gone out and shot.
