Late season Veil Nebula
I really still consider myself a DSLR beginner, but since this came out ok and I plan to add more subs, I thought I'd share now
Here's 2 nights worth of 1 hr:
360s x 5 @ ISO 1600
600s x 3 @ ISO 800
1hr total
Imaged: Meade OTA
6" Schmidt-Newt f/5
Guided: 4" Skywatcher
Mount: Celestron CGE
Guided, Unmoded
LPS-P2-FF Filter, Darks
& WB Flats applied
Manually dithered every 3 or so subs.
Hope you enjoy as much as I did seeing this for the 1st time (visually and AP-wise!)

Late season Jupiter with the kids
My kids, 5 and 3, could usually take or leave my hobby. Sometimes they just want to do what dad does and this was one of those nights. Perhaps it was all the recent rain and clouds we've had from Hurricane Ida but they we're ready to go. Conditions weren't the best, but some good views on the computer via the DMK and some eyepiece views got them pretty excited. That is until they got cold and didn't see any meteors from the shower. Ok, enough rambling. Here's my view that the kids helped capture!!
