Here are some of my images:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hymerz6qtxaxdob/WLyzBmIImu?lst

The root folder is work from my school observatory:

Olmsted Observatory
SBIG STL-11000m
Takahashi FSQ-106 ED

All 100% processed in PixInsight, all copyrights Josh Lake, 2013.

The Hubble subfolder is work I did for the Hubble's Hidden Treasure's processing contest, including the winner of both the jury and public prizes, NGC1763 "The Sea Dragon." It was processed almost entirely in PixInsight, and I have higher resolution if you decide to include it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ttpvoth9wv4wfsk/Nebula-NGC1763.jpg

Hi all,

We have made a first selection of images: http://pixinsight.com/

A big thanks to all of you, and please forgive me. All of you have uploaded nice images. Astrophotography, as I understand it, cannot  be a competition. What is important is to achieve the best possible results with the limitations imposed by one's equipment, conditions and experience. This is a means for personal growth, and I hope PixInsight can help you out.

Juan,

Here is my first image processed completely in PixInsight 1.8. The data was captured at the Winter Star Party 2010 with a Takahashi FSQ-106N and Canon 350D modified with a Baader FACF-2 filter.
30 x 300 second exposures calibrated with dark frames.

Hello Juan,
Here are a few images for your consideration: All have been calibrated/processed in PixInsight.  I typically have used Photoshop to convert to jpg.

Thanks for this opportunity, Juan.  Here is a link to a few images in Dropbox:

Thanks for considering these images.  All were processed entirely in PixInsight, which I've been using for about 3 years.  Images were acquired with a 10"-ASA Newtonian and an SBIG STL-11000 with Baader HaLRGB filter set.

Clear skies,
Ron
