Last night I shot the Bubble Nebula (Sh2-162, NGC 7635), for a total exposure of 53x60s.

Last night I shot the Firework Galaxy, and a neighboring star cluster. The Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) is a galaxy about 25.2 million light years from us. The star cluster, NGC 6939, is in our Milkyway galaxy and is just 4,000 light years away. This is only a 45x60s exposure, so it's a little noisy.

The Iris Nebula. What we are seeing is a new star, born in that dust cloud, pushing the cloud away with it's solar winds, letting us see inside the cloud. The blue is the reflected light from the new star.

Last night, I got a couple hours (102x90s) on the West Veil Nebula (NGC 6960, Caldwell 34). It is part of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant. Here it is with and without the stars.

First Pass on the Owl Nebula (M 97) and the Surfboard Galaxy (M 108). This time of year, I was only able to get about an hour and a half of usable dark (00:25-01:56 PST). I'm hoping to get another hour an half Tuesday night, but then it is just rain, rain, and more rain.

I shot the Ring Nebula, M 57, last night. 78x60s

Yesterday I met up with my cousin and I gave his daughters their first DSLR cameras, and we had a fun photo day at the zoo.

I just saw this on Facebook. I know a bomber is a jacket style, but try to read this and not think they are selling terrorists.

Last night, I reshot Bode's Galaxy (M 81) and the Cigar Galaxy (M 82). Trying a couple different processes for cleaning up the images.

A great blue heron was kind enough to pose for me.

A couple astro nights. I got the Flaming Star Nebula two nights ago and the Hidden Galaxy last night.

Final edit of NGC 1499, for this year. I think this is as good as I can get it. The nebula is too noisy, but think only more exposure time will fix that. Sadly, the weather has given a very firm, "no," to more astro time. So... This is it until next fall. The California Nebula

I got my new astro camera early in October, but we have not had a clear night.... until last night. The weather was not perfect, though. I only 3hrs total exposure (123x90s). It's been so long, I've forgotten my processing process. Anyway, here is NGC 1499, the California Nebula.

A couple nights shooting the LBN 549 region, with the Bubble Nebula, M 52 star cluster, and several other sights. 703*90s total exposure, shooting against a full moon.

NGC 7380, the Wizard Nebula. It is an emission nebula about 8500 light years away, and about 20 light years across. 238x90s total exposure. This time shot in broadband. #astrophotography #astronomy #ncg7380 #wizardnebula

Monday night was clear, so I got some time (87x300s) on the Wizard Nebula, NGC 7380z #astrophotography #astronomy #wizardnebula #wizard #nebula #ngc7380

The Cygnus Loop. It is 45x180s exposure time. Shot using an Ha/Oiii filter. The Cygnus Loop is a super nova remnant, about 120 light years across, and is 2670 light years from us. It is an emission nebula, meaning it emits light as opposed to reflecting it.

The North America and Pelican Nebulas. Shot the night of 7/17/2025. 44x180s exposure. First time playing with the new beta of Siril, with all the new Astro Seti scripts. This was with mostly default settings, so lots of room for tuning.
