#Sun today. Got curious what it looks like today compared to yesterday. It was also unobstructed by trees, so gave it go. Noisy capture though. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

47 Tucanae or NGC 104 Though a constant companion of the Small Magellanic Cloud, they are actually very very far away from each other. We detected laser-like and later radio signal from this. Must be one hell of a rave party going on there. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0131

The Sculptor Galaxy or NGC 253 Very active galaxy, won't surprise me if there are earth-like planets here. Started capturing around 1:50am and lasted all throughout the night. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0152

Western Veil Nebula or NGC 6960. Another low north target that gets blocked by trees. I think this goes high in the northern hemisphere. It's 25 degrees at most Down Under. Total subs is just an hour. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

Dumbbell Nebula or Messier 27 Northern DSOs are hard to target here because trees, fence and light poles pretty much block them. I usually have between 30 mins to an hour max. This one is only 15 mins. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

The #sun in this fine and windy Friday arvo... Also I heard some flare up happened, so we might get some aurora tonight or tomorrow evening. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

NGC 7293. Helix Nebula. Will eventually fade as the gas drift away. But not for a long while. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

1201

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

NGC 6357. Lobster Nebula or War and Peace Nebula... Yeah nah, Lobster Nebula sounds better. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

56.5% Waxing Gibbous #Moon tonight. Lunar X and Lunar V clair-obscur highlighted. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

Cat's Paw Nebula. The third target last night, but only for a little over an hour. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0257

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Same target, different wavelength focus. Lagoon and Trifid, but only in Ha and O3. 6+ hour total. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Running Chicken Nebula. Dual filter, about an hour worth of data, calibration files. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

1193

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Lagoon (M8) and Trifid Nebula (M20) Just the basic setup... Telescope, camera, mount, guide scope. No filters. Oh and almost 6 hours worth of data. And heaps of calibration files, going to need that under bortle 7 skies. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

My #solar photo for the day. Rains and clouds for the next few weeks. Hopefully clears up for the upcoming blue moon. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

Bug Nebula or NGC 6302 Wife said it looks like Tinkerbell 😅 #astrophotography #sydney #australia

1262

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Maybe I'll just stop with the hydrogen alpha portion of this nebula. It already looks good enough! 😅

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) and Orion Nebula. This is using the good ol' DSLR + Samyang 135mm + Intervalometer. And then heaps of 3 second photos. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

2245

Don't have a good vantage point to capture comet with my rig. Have to bring out good ol' Seestar to capture it. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0211

Lagoon Nebula or M8 G'day M8! The focal length is a tad too much so I only got the center portion. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0238

Chinese Dragon Nebula or NGC 6559 I'm taking away the stars because they were all egg-shaped! :P #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0216

Wishing Well Cluster or NGC 3532 "Hold your breath Make a wish Count to three..." #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0174

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Tarantula Nebula or NGC 2070. Well, I guess everything in Australia is out to get us. Including the sky... #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0194

Daughter was suggesting we go to Stanwell Tops tonight for some Milky Way shots. I showed her this, and we were both disappointed.

000

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Up close with the Trifid Nebula or Messier 20. Kind of disappointed I wasn't able to capture the recently reported stellar jet from the red side. Oh well... #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0499

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

The Retina Nebula or IC4406 Small-ish target but goes high up in the sky here in Sydney. Not the typical symmetric 'Eye'-type nebulas out there. Still being debated why it's not symmetrical. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0140

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

The Southern Butterfly or NGC 4833 Lesser known glob that's near the Milky Way core. Underappreciated since we all flock to Omega Centauri instead. :D #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0425

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Just had a little fun with my previous Eagle Nebula photo. Cropped/rotated to the Pillars of Creation then applied Hubble palette. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Running Chicken Nebula... In hydrogen alpha only... The RGB parts were incomplete. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

0100

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

Session was kinda successful. RGB was succssful. Autofocusing issue with Ha, O3 and S2. Weird. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

#Solar photo for the day. Finally captured a less wobbly data from the sun. Previous attempt had severe atmosphere wobbling. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

Sun today as capture in Sydney, Australia.

0131

Single 5-minute exposure of part of Markarian's Chain of galaxies. M86 is center-ish. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

NGC 6726 Reflection nebula that's in Corona Australis Molecular Cloud. Part of a bigger target called Anteater Nebula. A bit dim so requires long exposures to make the colors pop-out. #astrophotography #sydney #australia
