Heart & Soul ❤️ IC 1805 + IC 1848 in a 3-panel HOO mosaic. Two nebulae, one frame, and 3 nights spent collecting photons from ~7,500 light-years away ✨ #Astrophotography What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

I thought I'd never be able to capture this faint #astrophotography target but then I discovered the wonderful world of Newtonian scopes 🙂. This is the Bat (SH2-129) and Squid #nebula (OU-4) after 20h of integration time, shot from my backyard. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

The Bat nebula (SH2-129) showing red colors from the H-alpha emission line, and the planetary nebula called the Squid nebula (OU-4), recently discovered, emitting in the OIII line. This is the result of 20h of integration time. Details of the capture are on Astrobin : https://www.astrobin.com/vc8zxk/

Voici mes quelques prises de l'éclipse de la semaine dernière, prises depuis l'Embalse de la Cuerda del pozo, près de Soria. Instant magique, un moment suspendu. Aucune photo ne peut vraiment montrer ce qu'on voyait à l'œil. 🔭 #astrophotography

Thousands of stars are playing hide and seek in this 🔭📷 #astrophography of the dusty surroundings of LDN1082 🤩. 12 hours of integration shot from my backyard, supervized from my couch (feeling kind of fancy with a remote setup of my own ☺️). Can you plate-solve this @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

Astrophotography of LDN1082, a dark nebula made up of dust. Thousands of stars of various colors play hide and seek with the dust that thins off as it gets away from LDN1082. 12h of integration time over three nights using amateur equipment was necessary to bring the fainter wisps using : a Skywatcher Quattro 200P Newtonian, a Player One Poseidon-M camera, Antlia V-Pro LRGB filters.

Here is roughly 8h of luminance data (over three nights this past week) with this #astrophotography of NGC2655 done without any rejection algorithm. There's a slight satellite trail pollution don't you think? This is sad, knowing that some companies are willing to make things even worse 😢.

Satellite trails shown over 8 hours of luminance exposures spread over three nights while trying to capture the galaxy NGC2655.

The Flying Dragon Nebula, to me, really looks like a flying dragon 🙂. I shot this one from my backyard using amateur equipment, remotely controlled from my couch...(feeling kind of fancy with my remote setup 😇). #Astrophotography Can you solve this one @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social?

Astrophotography of SH-114, the Flying Dragon Nebula shot using a monochrome cooled astrophotography camera and a Newtonian telescope with a diameter if 200mm. The total integration time is 9h. The image shows a large HII region that ressembles a dragon spreading its wings, flying though countless stars from the Milky Way plane.

Hey everyone 👋! I shot Hickon 68 (a compact group of far, far away #galaxies) and the scores of little ones in the background plus some more visible neighbors. It's full of stars and #galaxies! #astrophography Can you spot where this is @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

The Hickson Compat Galaxy group n° 68 (HCG68) shot over 5 nights using a 200mm Newtonian scope with a focal ratio of f/3.8 and a Player One Poseidon-M monochrome camera. The field shows HCG68 as well as numerous fainter, more distant galaxies and a few prominent neighbors.

Hi all #astronomy fans out there ✨! I managed to shoot the Cocoon Nebula (IC5146) and its trailing dust train over the past two nights, using my backyard #astrophotography setup. The weather Gods blessed me I guess 😇. Lots of Hydrogen in the background. What's out there @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

$The Cocoon Nebula (IC5146) shot over two nights from a backyard rig using a 130mm Astro-Physics Starfire refractor and a PlayerOne Poseidon-M Monochrome camera using broad band filters and a narrow band H-alpha filter. 60x60s subs for each RGB channel. 150x120s for the Luminance channel and 138x180s for the H-alpha channel.$

All ye astronomy afficionados out there....I doubled the time on the O-III layer for NGC6888. I like the "soapy envelope" look of the OIII engulfing the hdyrogen that's being expelled by the Wolf-Rayet star. #Astrophotography 🔭📷. I'm sure @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social will solve this in a breeze.
