Caught a cosmic lobster lurking 11,000 light-years away in Cassiopeia. 🦞✨ This is Sharpless 157 (The Lobster Claw Nebula), captured over a couple of clear nights. Incredible what's glowing right above us in the dark. 🔭🌌 #astrophotography #photography #astronomy #space

🦋✨ Meet the Butterfly Nebula — 4,000 lightyears away, glowing in the Cygnus constellation. #astrophotography #astro #photography #askar

A cosmic butterfly spreads its fiery wings across a sea of stars — IC 1318, the Butterfly Nebula. Wisps of glowing red and orange gas twist and curl in space, set against the inky black of the universe. This vast emission nebula lies in the Cygnus constellation, about 4,000 lightyears from Earth.

I didn't disagree with anything you stated. You're correct, but her going too hard at Biden came off as she was attacking Obama's record, which didn't go very well with the base and party when Obama was too popular at that moment

She unfortunately screwed up by going against the record of a very popular dem president in 2019. The black caucus had to bring her behind close doors to stop it. That debate was unfortunately her undoing

So my piece of good news: my shot of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was shortlisted for the @dias.ie Reach For The Stars #astrophotography competition again. It's up for the public vote alongside absolutely fantastic competition: I'd obviously love your vote! reachforthestars.ie/exhibition/

I took a second pass at the data and took a slightly different approach with the processing. Let me know what you think. #astrophotography #space #nebula #photography

The eagle nebula. This version of the image differs from the original post by having richer colors and a more defined core, emphasizing the pillars of creation area.

Snapped this image of the North America Nebula last night! 🌌 Located in the Cygnus constellation, this massive emission nebula gets its name from its uncanny resemblance to the shape of North America. It lies about 1,700 light-years away and stretches over 100 light-years across #astrophotography

M13 The Great Hercules Globular Cluster. Just imagine standing on a planet inside that cluster… the night sky would be lit up like a cosmic fireworks show every single night. Mind. Blown. 🤯✨🌌 #Astrophotography #Astronomy #Photography #Seestar

it's the Hercules Globular Cluster M13, and it’s absolutely wild to think about. You're looking at around 300,000 stars crammed into this tiny region of space, all bound together in a gravitational dance. Just imagine standing on a planet inside that cluster… the night sky would be lit up like a cosmic fireworks show every single night. Mind. Blown.

I monitored the large sunspot AR4079 this morning for 3.5 hours in h-alpha. Caught some minor flares and small filament eruptions. The small prominence in the lower right put on a short but good show. I was hoping for more excitement but a watched sunspot never explodes! #astrophotography

Scary, unsettling times on this world. Meanwhile, 5,000 light years away, this beautiful giant cloud, the Dolphin Nebula, glows, blown by hot winds from a massive star. About 60 light years across, it covers an area about the size of a full moon in our skies. 🧪 apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap20030...

Glowing blue cosmic cloud looking sort of like a dolphin.

I'm just an infant when it comes to this hobby... But I can only imagine the frustration of astronomers and scientist with all the satellites orbiting Earth. Nothing like satellite trails to kill an imaging exposure 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ #astrophotography #astronomy #photography

The waxing gibbous moon captured from my patio on February 8th 😊🔭 I had setup my EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a deep sky session but the clouds had other plans. So I stubbornly tried a bit of planetary imaging at f/2 with this gear and got creative in processing the mess 😅 #Astrophotography

CG 4, commonly referred to as God's Hand, is a star-forming region located in the Puppis constellation, about 1,300 light-years (400 pc) from Earth. It is one of several objects referred to as "cometary globules", because its shape is similar to that of a comet. #astrophotography #astronomy
