Was able to dust off everything for the first time since April, now that dark skies are back again. Eastern Veil nebula, and an exercise in patience as I tried to remember how to do everything again, like actually plugging in the power lead to the camera ... #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭
Eastern Veil Nebula , 2hours 48 mins capture, Askar FRA500, L-eNhance filter, ASI294 MC Pro, and an HEQ5 Pro. And of course, the wonderful NINA driving the whole show.

Inspired by some of the targets on Bluesky, I got 4 hours from a Bortle 4 site on the Lobster Claw and Bubble Nebula; turned out better than I had hoped. Shot with an ASI294MC Pro, Canon 300mm L lens, Pinefeat Lens Controller, L-enhance filter, 90 second subs 👌 #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭

Getting back into the frustration & routine of this hobby as weather permits. This week I got 2 clear nights, seeing wasn't good, but M33 for ~5 hours, guiding let me down (so mostly unguided), still pleased. ASI294MC Pro, Canon 300mm +1.4x lens, UV/IR cut filter #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭

Two lovely clear and moonless nights this week so time to try and remember how on earth to do all this again. Just under 4 hours on M31 Andromeda, ASI294MC Pro, Canon 300mm lens. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭

The Mont Saint Michel surrounded by beautiful tidal patterns at low tide. When art from nature blends perfectly with man made creation… #photography

Mystical run… Beautiful horses of camargue in the marshes. This one is from last year btw. How many horses do you see here? There’s actually 5, one being very well hidden… Look for the belly 😆 #photography #nature #horses

I am finding this beautiful wild garlic popping up in lawns around my neighborhood. It's tiny but makes a wonderful cut flower. 𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑛𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑚

Got another clear moonless night on Friday so had another play with the ASI294 MC Pro. Loving this step up from a modded DSLR, wishing I'd done this months ago. 3 hrs with a Canon 300m L lens, unguided, 90 sec subs, Flaming Star Nebula. Processed in AffinityPhoto. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭

First play over the weekend with a dedicated OSC camera and my mind was blown. Seeing wasn’t particularly good but this is ~1.5hrs total (90 sec subs) and I can’t believe how clear it came out. Shot on a Canon 300m L lens. Can’t wait for more clear sky! #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭
1.5 hours exposure of M42, the Great Orion Nebula.

Not quite 2 hours on this last night with cloud rolling through, but first window I’ve had since 26th Nov. Still beggars and choosers etc. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭
