I found the airbrush tool on photoshop, so I thought I would have a bit of a play around with it and see what it could do. The first two pics are about 1/2 hour each of work. The Third is 1 hour. THe last I did tonight took me 3 hours.
This thing it HEAPS of fun!!! Found something to do with my cloudy nights!!

Greetings earthlings!
A.S.I.G.N. Observatory is proud to present the latest layman's guide to astrophotography.
http://www.asignobservatory.com/AstrophotographyGuide.aspx
As the Canon 400D and it's ilk are the most commonly used these days for the average budget, I thought it pertinent to be a little more specific in this area.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial, share it with new and old astrophotographers, and add it to your links so everyone can gain from it!
Happy space travels!

I purchased it from a long since out of business telescope shop in Parramatta, Sydney. It came from Celestron in the U.S.

I usually open up the dome an hour before imaging. Winter is obviously better, being in Canberra with it's minus temperatures....
Not a parking lot, just the street. Heat from that direction is not a problem.
Light pollution in the burbs of Canberra is far better than that of Sydney, I can vouch for that!
The dome is placed in my front yard in a nominal position, considering the movement of the stars from east to west. I try to photograph things that are at least 30 degrees above the horizon if I can anyway. Any lower than that tends to introduce too many atmospheric anomalies.

Looks interesting, but your link seems to be dead.
Cheers
Sorry dude, I just checked too, the link is ok but the server is down . Have another go later.
Thanks for looking!

Hello all,
If anyone is interested in building their own observatory from scratch, learning about astrophotography, or trying their hand at a few astronomy related DIY projects, please say hello and have a bit of a look through my website. It is all free and there are no gimmicks. Put your credit card away, I don't want to see it! LOL
Big cheers,
Baz.

Thanks mooey,
The first three are made up. I started with a blank page and just started brushing on the colour in layers.
The last one of M42 was the same, but I had a photo beside me to guide me in getting the details, colours and positions of the stars right.
God Bless,
Baz.
