Some space photos I took recently. Not the best but i hope you like them :)

This is about 50 minutes worth of exposure. 105mm lens @ f8, 800 ISO, 2.5 minutes exposure. Sadly it was cold and half way through my lens dewed up, so some stars are haloed.
Top right = orion nebula
Bright star in bottom center = Rigil
Bonus points for spotting the witch's head nebula ;)

An earlier attempt than #1, about 11 minutes of exposure. 105mm lens @f9, 800 ISO, 1:10m exposure. Orion nebula and Flame nebula came out nicely, bonus points for spotting the horsehead. (jpeg might have done away with that)

Same 105mm lens, @f9, can't remember ISO (probably 100/200), 5 minutes single exposure. The orange star is Aldebaran. Sadly my focus wasn't perfect in this shot.

I took this one in September 2015, by a beach. It's a 9-panel 180 degree panorama I took with an 18-55mm lens (at 18mm f3.5) showing the milky way. It's the photo I'm perhaps most proud of because of how good the quality on it came out. 800 ISO, 30 second exposures.

The imaging setup I'm using. Nikon D3200, Sigma 105:f2.8 macro, Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer motorized mount.

I would have probably taken more photos, and probably spent more time making them better and gathered more data... But I live in the UK so 90% of the time it's cloudy and/or raining.

Some of the glow around the edges of images is caused by dark current building up in the sensor with long exposures. Getting rid of it is challenging.

Cat tax.
