Reposted by Mike ReadAdrian Jannetta @adrianjannetta.bsky.social · 18/11/2024For the past couple of nights I've been chasing the Crescent Nebula with the SeeStar S50. This is an emission nebula in Cygnus, formed by the stellar wind from a Wolf-Rayet star interacting with its expelled outer layers. It spans about 25 light-years and is about 5,000 light-years away. 0214
Reposted by Mike ReadAdrian Jannetta @adrianjannetta.bsky.social · 17/11/2024It's taken 4 years to get 15 hours of exposure time on the Andromeda Galaxy. This is a combination of exposures with the RedCat 51 / ZWO ASI533MC Pro and Altair Astro triband filter. Processed in PixInsight. Taken from my home in Northumberland #astronomy #astrophotography 1305
Reposted by Mike ReadAdrian Jannetta @adrianjannetta.bsky.social · 22/11/2024M33 (Triangulum Galaxy) taken with the RedCat 51. 6 hours of exposure time with ZWO ASI533MC Pro (3 with triband filter, 3 without). This galaxy is around 2.7 million light-years away and bursting vibrant HII star forming regions! 0131

Reposted by Mike ReadKeith Bramley @keefbram.bsky.social · 24/11/2024This is #SH2-206 known as the Fossil Footprint nebula 9800 light years away. I gathered 29 hours narrowband data on this with my Atik 383L+ and 190MN scope. Not many people image this so I thought it was a good target for a change #astrophotography #space #nebula 69912
