This is primarily a spot to show my astrophotography. I stream observations from my allsky camera (raspberry pi 5), Vespera 1 and DWARF3 telescopes on twitch. All photos are edited in PixInsight unless otherwise noted. twitch.tv/mistsha

Here are the images the allsky captured of the possible meteors on the 29th. Unfortunately you can't put photos and video in the same post, so here is a second one. The picture with the red circle is an extremely faint one, I had to circle it so I could find it. #meteor #bolide #meteorite

On 29 September the allsky time-lapse picked up the two best looking possible meteors so far. I have a collection of the still images that I am comparing to confirmed meteors to see if I can identify a consistent look of them from the 20 second exposures the allsky takes. #meteor #bolide #meteorite

This is a target I worked on for almost all of September. The Dark Shark Nebula in Cepheus. I think I pushed my DWARF3 to its limit with this, I know I hit mine when editing it. This is 20 hours, 2400 subframes, and multiple editing attempts. #astrophotography #DWARF3
The Dark Shark Nebula is a dark nebula composed of dust that blocks out light. With a small smart telescope like the DWARF3 and bortle 5 skies, even at 20 hours the shape is only faintly visible before editing. After editing you can see the brighter area of dust on the lower right of the image that could resemble a shark. I had someone tell me it looked more like an angry opossum and I can't disagree. The rest of the background has a mix of much lighter dust clouds which adds another level of difficulty to editing. A cropped image with the Shark Nebula filling the lower half of the image. In the dust making up the shark, a bright star shines where an eye would be and a few other brighter stars shine around the outline.

This week, last year, I captured the newly discovered 2025 comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon. It last visited 1,400 years ago and outperformed initial brightness forecasts, surging to 400 times brighter than expected. 🤩 #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #comet #eastcoastkin #photography

I keep trying out different things with the Milky Way mode on the DWARF3. Last week I thought I would give it a shot looking at the area around Andromeda. I set it to 10 second exposures for 30 minutes and got much more than I expected. #dwarf3 #astrophotography #space
The night sky full of stars with the faint brighter oval shape of the Andromeda Galaxy in the middle. In the lower right there is a much smaller brighter shape that is the Triangulum Galaxy.

Mistsha @mist-sha.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The Triangulum Galaxy (M 33). This is a 9 hour 18 minute total capture from seven sessions over this month. I don't know what compelled me to start this when it was still very low in the sky and it was still extremely humid, but it still worked. #astrophotography #dwarf3 #pixinsight #space

A moondog hangs like a gem on the left side of the frame. Stretching out and across over halfway to the right side is the arc of a parhelic circle. There are clouds partially obscuring the view in places. Stars shine through in the upper right quadrant of this photo. A house with lights is visible right of center frame on the horizon.

Printed out a couple of options for new cases for the allsky camera. I like how the smaller one looks, but due to the temperature here, still in the upper 90s with equality high humidity there has to be room for a fan or two. So the larger one will be the one for testing. #astrophotography #allsky

Graphic for International Observe the Moon Night on September 19, 2026. A detailed photograph of the partially illuminated Moon fills the right side against a black background, with craters and surface features especially prominent along the shadowed terminator.

One of the current observations, the Dark Shark Nebula. I am going through a phase of picking very difficult targets and putting my DWARF3 through it. I am currently at 11 hours on this one and have a sneaking suspicion I am going to have to get 15 to 20. #dwarflab #astrophotography

The Dumbbell Nebula. I often skip over this one when looking for a target, but it is very bright and shows up clearly almost immediately even with a 10 second exposure. DWARF3 is still a work in progress, processing information is in alt text. #astrophotography #dumbbellnebula #vespera1 #dwarf3
40 minute total exposure with the DWARF3. Only processing is denoise and crop in Stellar Studio. Circular mass surrounded by stars. The mass is a blue-grey color with an oval shape, with a shape in the middle similar to an apple core that is a light red on the top and bottom. Three and a half hours total exposure with the Vespera 1. Processed and edited in PixInsight. Circular mass surrounded by stars. The mass is a vivid teal blue color with an oval shape, with a shape in the middle similar to an apple core that is a light red on the top and bottom.
