      3 From last night 2 nebulas and a Galaxy ( plus a hubble comparison lol )

      A beautiful night but a frustrating one as for some reason my sensor on my DSLR seems to be becoming very noisy maybe I'm pushing it too hard

      Anyway - the Butterfly nebula around Sadr in Cygnus


      The Andromeda Galaxy - again more noisy than I would like but better than last year at this height


      And the image that started me getting excited about photographing the heavens was this - the Pillars of creation in the Eagle nebula - each column a light year high with a star being produced at the very tip



      This had been my intended target all night but unfortunately it lies to the south of the house where I have trees and at the moment the nebula was between them we had a cloud drift by - so instead of the usual 30 frames I had 3 and to cap it all I used the wrong ISO setting so this has been heavily processed - but if you look in the middle you can just make out the tiny columns that Hubble showed so well
