I went to the VLA to shoot C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) over the array of radio dishes, and while I was there, there was a SpaceX launch in California. Not long after launch the plume was illuminated by the setting sun. #astrophotography

NGC 3572 was recently an APOD, but this is not the photo that was the APOD. This is my photo own, I took the image with my Celestron EDGE HD 11" remotely from Chile. If you look up the APOD, you will see that mine is in much better focus. hmmm, maybe I should have sent it in ;) #astrophotography

NGC 6164, known as the Dragon's Egg Nebula, is an emission nebula located in the constellation Norma. The nebula was discovered by astronomer John Herschel in 1834, and is approximately 3,870 light years from the Solar System. Captured (by me) remotely in Chile. #astrophotography

NGC 2467 is a star-forming region whose appearance has occasionally also been likened to that of a colorful mandrill. It includes areas where large clouds of hydrogen gas incubate new stars. -Wikipedia. I took this image recently. To me, it resembles an SHO #Bluesky Butterfly! #astrophotography

I got an IOTD on ASTROBIN! www.astrobin.com/g9uxd7/ The Vela Supernova Remnant is a giant shell of gas and dust in the constellation Vela that's visible from the southern hemisphere. The remnant is nearly 100 light-years across, which is 20 times the diameter of the full moon. #ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY

The Lagoon And Trifid Nebulae in the Galactic Core. The Lagoon and Trifid are estimated to be between 4,000–6,000 light-years away from the Earth. Within the Trifid there is a stellar nursery full of thousands of embryonic stars. #astrophotography

IC 410 is located 12,000 lightyears from Earth in the Auriga constellation, and is nicknamed the Tadpole Nebula because of the tadpole-shaped clouds of dark dust that appear to be swimming towards the centre. #astrophotography . I took this last night with HA,S2 and O3 filters.

Sharpless 2-240 also known as the Spaghetti Nebula, or SNR G180.0-01.7, is a supernova remnant (SNR) in the Milky Way, straddling the border between the constellations Auriga and Taurus. I took 25 hours of images with a dual band filter to bring out the finer details in Ha and O3 #astrophotography

Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) refers to the faint, diffuse clouds of interstellar dust and gas that lie above the plane of the Milky Way, illuminated by the combined light of all the stars in the galaxy. Here, the IFN is illuminated by the Pleiades (M45). #astrophotography

Long ago, in A Galaxy Far Far Away....this is but a corner of the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of our nearest galactic neighbours, 158,200 light years away, and home to an incredibly complex cloud of gas and dust within which we find NGC 2070, AKA The Tarantula Nebula. #astrophotography

The Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) is an emission and reflection nebula about 1,500 light-years away from Earth, and the "Tadpole" Nebula (IC 410) is an emission nebula about 12,000 light-years away. They are found in the constellation Auriga, the Charioteer. #astrophotography #astronomy

this is T Coronae Borealis in the constellation Corona Borealis, AKA the Blaze Star. It is a binary star and a recurrent nova. It is expected to explode soon. When it does, it will suddenly brighten for a short period of time before returning to it's current brightness. #astrophotography #astronomy

NGC 4038 and NGC 4039 have been colliding for hundreds of millions of years. The collision has created two long streamers of stars, gas, and dust that extend from the crash site, which is why the pair is nicknamed the Antennae Galaxies. I took this mostly in December #astrophotography

The Cone Nebula in Monoceros. The shape comes from a dark absorption nebula consisting of cold molecular hydrogen and dust in front of a faint emission nebula containing ionized hydrogen. The nebula is approximately seven light-years long and 2,700 light-years from Earth. LRGBHa. #astrophotography

Lower's Nebula is another interesting target in Orion, and is named after Harold and Charles Lower who discovered this nebula in 1939. I pointed my telescope for about 10 hours, using narrowband filters S2, Ha, and O3 over a couple of nights. #astrophotography

NGC 6744 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Pavo. Galaxies have long been fascinating targets. I love their structure, and the sheer expanse. They hold hundreds of billions of stars, and probably hundreds of billions of planets. What's alive out there besides us? #astrophotography

Last night I pointed my telescope deep into the heart of Orion, at the iconic (to me) Horsehead Nebula. A Hubble image of this back in the 90's was my spark of inspiration that carries forward to this day #astrophotography
