You must've bought some really special astro gear.

There is a scale of roman numerals for globular clusters according to concentration. The higher the number the looser the concetration. These images are from class III, then class VI and finally class IX globulars. #astrophotography #sydney #australia

Barnard's Galaxy. Closest non-satellite galaxy to our Milky Way. But its really dim! Also got NGC 6818 or Green Mars Nebula on the right. Need a bigger telescope for this one. And it's really green! #astrophotography #sydney #australia

#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

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

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

Jem 🇦🇺 @jromz03.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
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
Messier 27

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

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

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
M8 and M20

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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