Posting some #astrophotography results taken over the course of the summer. All images are stacked images, taken with an 80mm Triplet in combination with a Canon EOS 550D.
Let's start with #M27, the #DumbbellNebula. This image features a crop around the planetary nebula. Nothing special, but it nicely shows the structure extending beyond the dumbbell shape at 75 min total integration time.
#M15, a globular star cluster in the constellation Pegasus. This crop with a total integration time of 15 min provides only a glimpse of the depth of the cluster.

#Supernova remnant #NGC6960 in Cygnus. This wide-field image shows only part of the entire complex. A longer integration time would have helped to better work out the filaments, but this not bad for only a bit over 2.5 hrs under city skies.

#Supernova remnant #NGC6888 in Cygnus. There's a crop of the nebula and a wide-field version, which shows the high variability in background star density due to galactic dust clouds. This is a stack of 300 images with 20s of integration time each.

Our galactic neighbor, #M31, the #AndromedaGalaxy. A stack of total integration time of more than 2 hrs taken over two consecutive nights.

The #Moon and #Venus in the same image, taken just before sunrise. It is impressive how much brighter Venus appears against the thin lunar crescent.
