A couple more images from the eclipse

After the Eclipse I had a nice clear Bortle2 sky to do some astroimaging whilst camping at Treheli farm, here is M17 (swan nebula) and NGC6960 (western veil nebula or sometimes called the witches broom).

My effort of the eclipse taken from Trehili farm camp site on the Llyn Peninsula. taken with a Lunt THa50.

After my recent re-working of my old data, I've put together a short video of the objects, from Solar System to DSO (Deep Sky Objects) #Astronomy #Astrophotograhy #Space Please take a look 👇 youtu.be/a1OmKTeYtfw?...

They keep coming, here is my next reworking of my old 🔭 data. This is NGC 6946, better known as the Fireworks Galaxy. The refined tools of #Siril have allowed me to pull out sharper & cleaner details. I Hope your enjoying these reworkings? Some more interesting facts about this #galaxy ...

$A deep-space telescopic photograph of the Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946), shown face-on against a dark black sky sprinkled with fine background stars. The galaxy features a bright, glowing golden-yellow central core surrounded by sprawling, loosely wound spiral arms. Dark, web-like lanes of cosmic dust wind through the arms, punctuated by delicate blue star-forming regions and subtle reddish-pink emission nebulae along the edges. Near the bottom edge of the galaxy, a brighter foreground star exhibits tiny diffraction spikes. In the bottom right corner, a black banner overlay reads "PARAMOUNT OBSERVATORY" alongside a small white icon of a telescope on a tripod.$

Good evening everyone, hope you've had a good weekend? Been a while since opening the observatory, but with a clear sky, just needed to check everything is working. So quick live stack of the Veil #nebula 🔭

Todays Sun (all images inverted) in Ha, a lot of activation the surface with some large prominences

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Just discovered that Siril can do mosaics so had a quick go at a 6 pane mosaic of NGC7000 (only 10x2min subs for each pane)

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

2/2 interesting sunspot with another rotating into view

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Todays solar prominences in Ha (inverted)1/2

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Took a trip to a darker sky last night to try my new Askar 50P wide field scope last night, pleased with results 60x60sec unguided exposures.

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Todays Sun in Ha (inverted) some nice activity on the face and some nice prominences

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Todays Sun (inverted and false colour)

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

A starless Rosette nebula from Kielder star camp last weekend

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Some nice aurora activity at last nights Kielder star camp

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

A recent capture of IC405/410 with stars removed

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Added a bit more data to NGC7822, just short of 21hrs. #astrophotography

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

a quick process of NGC7822 in Cepheus, 11 hrs in total collected over the past two nights.

After so many weeks of cloudy skies, I've got a period of clear skies, so taking my chance to capture #cometlemmon whilst it's high enough for me to capture. #Astrophotography #Astronomy #Space #StormHour #MoonHour #ThePhotoHour #lookup @liverpoolas.org

M16 from my recent trip to St Martins, Scilly Isles. Nearly 4 hrs of data.

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Last nights 4 Paine mosaic of NGC700. A little over processed but still quite pleasant #Astrophotography

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Todays Sun in white light and Ha(inverted), white light scope 72mm Megrez (William Optics) and Ha Lunt 50THa for Hydrogen alpha

@paramountobs.bsky.social last nights effort, got nothing on the Vulcan nebula, needs longer exposures but not with an uncooled camera

Some nice proms (inverted) on todays Sun.

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

@paramountobs.bsky.social A quick process of Fridays capture (a bit noisy as expected). NGC7380

Started to do a mosaic of the Milky Way around Cygnus, started with 6 panels around Sadr only 30mins per panel at the moment, and minimal processing. #Astrophotography

Brendan @hasungazer.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

The Sad region from last night, only 1 hrs worth, not bad for a Bortle 8 sky. #Astrophotography
