Messier 33, the Triangulum Galaxy—a spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum, around 2.8 mio ly away. This image was captured last night using the Seestar S50Pro Total exposure time 95 min. @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social #astrophotography #deepskyphotography #astronomy

An astrophotograph of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) in deep space. The galaxy features a bright central core surrounded by delicate spiral arms with faint bluish and reddish star clusters, set against a dark background filled with distant stars.

#Astrophotography As a child, I always looked at the Pleiades as a small Great Bear. And with my fisrst small newton telescope, I observed this open cluster with fascination. Now as an astrophotographer, it truly blows my mind, the dust clouds are so beautiful. Universe is a real mind blowing place

À patch of cosmic dust and gaz, in the blue-ish, forming like a sheriff star. In the dust seven very bright and blue stars, that arebilluminating this Nebula.

A monochrome version of my recent Milky Way image to emphasize texture and structure. I also found using a red filter in Snapseed reduced light pollution even more. #scape #EastCoastKin #astrophotography #nightskyphotography #nightsky #MilkyWay #ClassicMono #monochrome #FotoDeFer

Tonight was my first session with my new Seestar S50 Pro smart telescope. I got this to add to my portable gear when I'm on the road. It's not as good as a dedicated rig, but the results are still impressive to me. Read the Alt text for more info (Helix Nebula). #astronomy #astrophotography

Helix Nebula, as processed by the Seestar S50 Pro. I haven't got the EQ wedge yet (it's in the mail), so I am limited to 10 sec exposures in AZ. This image was constructed by the scope using 92 exposures. So just over 15 minutes of data. I could see this in real time on my tablet being integrated and enhanced, which was pretty cool.

Helix Nebula, as processed by me in PixInsight using the raw files the Seestar S50 Pro took. This is a very basic PI process as I didn't want to spend too much time on the image - just enough to see if I could get more out of the data than the scope's internal processing.

And from the above, it's certainly possible. For 15 min of data, I consider this a great result.

Nebulae in another galaxy! This is my first new image for a while. I decided to buy a Wanderer electronic tilt adjuster to make it easier when swapping telescopes, so was keen to try it out. With the Small Magellanic Cloud rising higher, I captured NGC 346, NGC 371, & surrounds. 🔭 #astrophotography

Nebulae in the Small Magellanic Cloud. At bottom centre is NGC346, shining brightly in blue (OIII) and white and appearing to fan out upwards. Above & to the right is the smaller brain-like (but still blue) NGC371. Surrounding them are many blobs of Ha (red). 8 hours of exposure with a Skywatcher MN190, ZWO 2600mc & Antlia ALP-T dual-band filter in Bortle 8 skies..

Even though Saturn is 1.26 billion kms from Earth, this beautiful planet was as close to Earth as it gets this year making it appear big and bright. This is called opposition, which happened last night (October 4th). I used my 16 inch telescope. #astrophotography #astronomy #saturn

Planet Saturn at opposition on October 4, 2026. Rings are brighter than usual because they are reflecting the Sun's light while at opposition. Taken with a 16 inch telescope.
