The globular cluster M55 in Sagittarius. Imaged with a RASA 8 telescope and ASI183MC camera from inner Brisbane city balcony. 120*60 second subs. Stacked in Astro Pixel Processor and further processed in Siril. #astrophotography

Additive repair. The lenshood to my Olympus 12-40mm lens broke. Admittedly its had a lot of use in a commercial environment. Instead of buying an expensive replacement, I opted to design and 3D print a new one with a textured outer surface for grip at 150um using a Saturn 3 Ultra resin printer.

Astrophotography software is developing at an incredible pace thanks to many FOSS developers ie Siril. This is M8 captured under full moon,Bortle 8 location. 120*60 sec subs with #Borg55FL and ASI294MC. Calibrated in APP & then further processed in #Siril.

IC 4628, The Prawn Nebula in Scorpius. Dual narrow band imaging with #Antlia ALPT Gold filter and William Optics GT71 /IMX571 camera. Processed in #Siril. Definitely needs more data with only 60*60 second subs. #Brisbane #astrophotography

M1, The Crab Nebula in Taurus. Imaged with a RASA8 telescope and ASI183MC camera from #Brisbane city balcony Bortle 8. 205 *60 sec subs so around 3.5 hrs worth of data. Processed Siril > Graxpert. #RASA8 #astrophotography

Mono imaging M8 in hydrogen alpha. I dusted off an ASI1600 camera and filter wheel and popped it into the intes mn61. 30*60 sec unguided subs then a quick stack in astro pixel processor . HA is so cool .... #astrophotography

M27, the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula. Apparently the first planetary nebula discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. Imaged over three nights from #Brisbane with a RASA8/ASI183MC combo. 345*60 second subs so almost 6 hours of data. Processed in Siril > Graxpert. Love the night sky... #astronomy

The amazing globular cluster Omega Centauri NGC5139 in Centaurus. Visible to the naked eye from a dark sky and contains around 10 million stars give or take a few. 137 * 60 sec subs with a RASA8/ASI183MC combo. Calibrated in Astro Pixel Processor. #astronomy #astrophotography

Here is roughly 8h of luminance data (over three nights this past week) with this #astrophotography of NGC2655 done without any rejection algorithm. There's a slight satellite trail pollution don't you think? This is sad, knowing that some companies are willing to make things even worse 😢.

Satellite trails shown over 8 hours of luminance exposures spread over three nights while trying to capture the galaxy NGC2655.

This interesting object is a small nebula in Sagittarius called IC1284. Imaged over 3 nights with a Borg55FL refractor & CEM40 mount, Bortle 8 #Brisbane. 7 hours of data with no filters. Processed Siril > Graxpert. #astrophotography

M20 and M8 imaged with a William Optics GT71 and ASI294. 240*60 second subs. Processed in Siril>Graxpert. No filters uses in the imaging train just decided to get lots of subs. Graxpert is remarkable at removing background gradients. #williamoptics #astrophotography

If you are paying for Claude and you claim to care about astronomy or the night sky - think again. 🔭☄️ SpaceX's orbital data center plans would *ruin* ground-based astronomy & the night sky. Anthropic are partnering with them.

In an unexpected turn, the two companies signed a deal for Anthropic to use computing resources from Elon Musk’s xAI.

Just finished 3D printing a holder for the RST135 hand controller using the Bambu X2D printer. Not a fan of the company but the printer is excellent.

Astrophotography from light polluted cities is possible, just pray to the weather gods & collect lots of subs. This is Sh 2-82 captured over 4 nights. Camera - IMX571 Filter - Antlia ALPT Gold Telescope - William Optics GTF102 Mount - Avalon M Zero Guide Camera - ASI 462MC 233 @ 5 minute subs

Getting setup to do some astrophotography with a #RASA8 and an 8" Newtonian in South East Queensland. Had to wait until midnight for the 1/2 moon to set.. hence the shadows. Don't look to close at the cable management..
