Mark_RJF @mrjfuk.bsky.social · 22/01/2025For my friends in the USA: I like to think the M16 nebula could be a metaphor for the true fabric of the USA. M16 is a large nebula in the shape of a formidable Eagle - at its heart are the famous Pillars of Creation. Image is 5 hours, (60x5mins stack) on a 130mm refractor, processed in Pixinsight. 1466038
Mark_RJF @mrjfuk.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Today's walk on the sea front didn't disappoint.

Mark_RJF @mrjfuk.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Well, the daily consitutional delivered again. We had a crow (or raven?) thinking he was playing quidditch. A seagull bending over backwards for a kiss. And our trusty, ever present heron doing his thing. #birds #photography #brighton #ukwildlife #wildlife 2685
Mark_RJF @mrjfuk.bsky.social · 20/01/2025I assume today (Jan 20th '25) will be a slow news day. So to give you something to think about, here's a tight crop of part of the Veil Nebula. The Veil Nebula is a supernova remnant some 2400 lightyears away. (Approx 14,108,701,682,176,092 miles away!) #astrophotography #astronomy #photography 16105568
Mark_RJF @mrjfuk.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Took this image 27 days ago on Christmas Eve (seems so long ago now!).

Mark_RJF @mrjfuk.bsky.social · 19/01/2025So that pesky Heron I've been stalking feeds at low tide on my daily walk. When the tide comes in it can be pretty aggressive. This is in the Undercliff Walk between Brighton Marina and Rottingdean UK. #seascapes #brighton #photography 3934
Mark_RJF @mrjfuk.bsky.social · 19/01/2025We're going to have to name this guy! Here he is *again* on my morning constitutional by the sea. He must think I'm stalking him. (apologies for the repetition of Heron photos, its just irresistible). @everyheron.bsky.social #heron #birds #photography 4733
Mark_RJF @mrjfuk.bsky.social · 19/01/2025M42, Orion Nebula. I'm currently working on this to increase detail and maintain the core. So far this is 17 hours of SulphurII, OxygenIII and HydrogenAlpha filters. Taken on my 180mm F7 Refractor sitting in Spain.
