M45 - The Pleiades
After taking images of the Iris Nebula, I switched to the Pleiades. Naturally I added this to images I had taken 2 years ago. I then asked myself if I could add data taken from a different telescope, so I made the attempt and it worked.
This is over 20 hours on the M45 using my Meade 80mm and the Raptor 61, using the same camera across both scopes. All in all I used almost 1,300 light frames and hundreds of calibration frames.

The Iris Nebula - NGC 7023
I've heard a thousand times to not try and shoot broadband (lighter filters) from inside the city (Bortle 8), but there are several targets I have a hard time saying no to trying when I have the opportunity to shoot them, this is one of them.
Since getting back into astrophotography, I've been testing my setup and filters to get back into the flow of things. Last night it was time to do broadband. I was able to take four hours on the Iris Nebula before switching over to the Pleiades. I then added those four hours to eight hours that I took two years ago with the same set up but a different filter. I stacked in DeepSkyStacker, did the hard processing in Pixinsight, then took it over to Photoshop for some light work

M31 - 4 Panel Mosaic of the Andromeda Galaxy
Three years ago I began to experiment with making mosaics of some of my targets. I began with the Sadr region in Cygnus, then eventually moved to the Andromeda Galaxy. Because I was shooting in broadband, getting a good blend at the edges was difficult, so I gave up and moved on. Now that my motivation to do astrophotography is back, I went back and reprocessed it from scratch. I still had some issues, but I was able to fix them to my satisfaction.
