A full sky panorama featuring the Milky Way plane, twin 6.5m Magellan telescopes (Baade on the left and Clay on the right), a faint band of light along the ecliptic and a colourful airglow. Taken at the Las Campanas observatory in Chile on the Summer solstice night (20-21/Jun/2014) with a 35mm lens. This is a mosaic of 28 fields stacked from 84 individual exposures, 6-sec long each. With the magnitude limit of about 12, the full resolution version of this picture includes several million stars and thousands of galaxies.

images obtained over the last few weeks here by myself at the Nutwood Observatory just south of Bancroft.
Taken with a 17 inch truss scope, using an un binned U16M ccd chip camera for all images. Filters were Astrodon filters including HA and regular sets. Total acquisition for this image was around 14 hrs. Guiding and tracking done with a 80mm Borg with Galactic star shoot guider.
Image acquisition was done remotely and used MaxIm, Pixinsight along with various PS C5 fits plug ins. Final processing was performed with PS CS5.

Vela Supernova Remnant. Earlier post did not display the image even though its under 400K. So reposting.

6 panel mosaic of one of the most interesting objects in the southern sky. The remnants of a huge supernova blast. Link to larger image:
