TV-NP127is

Nickname: "Eos". Having remarkable capabilities, the Televue NP127is telescope is not only a portable, high performance apochromat but also a joy to use in both visual and astrophotographic applications.

The Andromeda Galaxy
Messier 31 - The Great Andromeda Galaxy. -- Stuff: IDAS LPS, NP127is, QHY8L OSC CCD, JPZ, 5x1200s, Lodestar on FS60C, taken at low altitude 10-35°. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_Galaxy
Faint galaxies

NGC891 and friends
This is the region (2° 2' x 1° 21' ) around the edge-on galaxy NGC891. Numerous other faint galaxies down to 17,5 mag are visible in this photo. -- See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_891 -- HW: NP127is, QHY8L OSC, FS-60C, Lodestar, NJP/JPZ, 6x1200s RGB. -- SW: EZCAP (image acquisition) MaximDL (calibration/ alignment/ stacking), IRIS (gradient removal), Aperture (post processing).
The Christmas Tree
The Christmas Tree, the Conus nebula and the Hubble Variable Nebula -- NJP, Lodestar on FS60C, NP127is (f/5.2), 3x1200s, QHY8L OSC camera
NGC4565 & NGC4562
NGC4565, an edge-on galaxy, is several times brighter than the Milky Way. It looks like the Sombrero Galaxy and NGC891 in our firmament. NGC4565 has an apparent size of 16"x2.2" and due to its distance of 50'000'000 light years from our galaxy, a diameter of 100'000 light years is assumed. Recently, a small black hole has been detected in its centre. NGC4565 is observable even with moderate amateur telescopes under darks skies. -- Exposure: L=5x300s, RGB=3x300s each channel, focal length 660mm (f/5.2), pixel size 5.4μ. The heavy light pollution caused by the city lights was completely removed with filtering and photo processing techniques.
