I photographed the Elephant's Trunk nebula over the last 3 nights. The dark nebulosity and sharp structures were very fun to process. #astrophotography #photography #space #astronomy

The Elephant Trunk Nebula shot from a wider view. 5 hours each of Sulfur, Hydrogen and Oxygen data on a 2600 mm camera using astronomik filters.

Made myself learn FireCapture (before I was using the ASI planetary software a couple years ago) to retry planetary imaging. I’ll work on processing tomorrow most likely.

M27, the Dumbbell nebula. I shot the nebula in narrowband this year from my driveway. The core is difficult to process due to the long exposures, but I wanted to bring out the faint halo around it. #astrophotography #photography #space #astronomy

The dumbbell nebula shot in hydrogen alpha and oxygen using 5 minute exposures. There is a blanket of stars around it

It’s tiny and faint, but I saw Uranus and a couple of its moons tonight (probably Titania and Oberon) #astronomy #astrophotography #space

The planet Uranus. Two of its moons are visible nearby, with a third by its upper left edge

A discarded SpaceX rocket will crash into the moon this coming Wednesday, early in the morning (2:30~ ET). The actual rocket won’t be visible from earth but the large plume of debris will. The crash should be visible near the Einstein crater (circled below). #space #astronomy

I photographed the Butterfly nebula (IC 1318) over the past 3 nights from my backyard! I had a lot of fun with this one, both in capturing and processing. Nerd details in the alt text. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy #space

The butterfly nebula, shot with a Ultracat 108 telescope on a 2600 MM camera, using SHO astronomik filters. 5 minutes exposures were used for each channel, using 15 hours of data over 3 nights. Data was stacked in Astro pixel processor and processed in Pixinsight

I photographed M5 last month from my driveway. In the uncropped version, you can see an object in the the bottom left that did not follow tracking. I'm not sure what it was, but most likely an asteroid of some kind. If anyone knows feel free to chime in. #astronomy #astrophotography #photography

Messier 5, photographed with a 2600 mm pro and a ultracat 108 telescope, using stacked 60 second exposures.

The bottom left quadrant a streak of light followed by a pattern of r, g, b suggest a moving object that is not a star, such as a planet or asteroid that was captured in filter order.

Turns out I can get a decent few of the southern side of the sky, but not for long with all the trees around. I split my project time as a result. I hope to have one finished over the next couple days.

Markarians chain of galaxies shot in black and white over 180 seconds. The image is a bit grainy but several smaller background galaxies are visible.

Bode's galaxy and the Cigar galaxy. I spent three nights photographing this pair of galaxies from my driveway using a monochrome camera and filters. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

A pair of galaxies, Bode's on the left and the cigar galaxy on the right sit against a light pollution tinged background of stars.

Quick WIP again, let’s hope I have enough clear nights to finish it

At it again. Probably won’t be finished for a couple more nights, but have a WIP of the Christmas Tree nebula

I photographed the Rosette nebula over the past 3 nights. It was a bit chilly but I'm glad to be back at it, and also glad I got to shoot this before it got too low on the horizon. See alt text for nerd details. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy #space

$The Rosette nebula in a the narrowband SHO palette. The edges of the nebula are made of red to yellow bands of cloudy duet, with a hollow blue core. A bundle of bright stars is nestled in the center. The image was shot with an asi2600 MM pro using astronomik filters through a 500 mm refractor telescope. Each exposure was 300s and tracked, with approximately 12 hours of combined data.$

A quick post to let you know I’m not dead. A new project is underway now that it’s not -10 out. If the weather holds I’ll have it finished in a few days. #astrophotography #photography

Jupiter is in opposition right now! If it’s clear where you’re at, check it with a telescope, binoculars, or even your naked eye! It should be easy to pick out and much brighter than the stars around it.

Merry Christmas everyone. May your holiday be as bright as the Orion nebula! #photography #astrophotography #astronomy #space It was very foggy while shooting this, but I take the clear nights when I can in the winter.

I photographed the Horsehead nebula, one of my favorite deep sky objects. I spent two nights photographing this nebula, separated by a month in-between due to cloud cover and snow. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

The horsehead and flame nebula. Large stars and dusty clouds are scattered around.

I've come a long way from when I tried to photograph it last year. Better equipment does help, but technique and processing do even more.

The California nebula is visible in a red cloudy haze centrally. A small blanket of stars surrounds the area. Vignetting is present at the edges of the image.

The California Nebula, named after the state its shape mimics. It took two nights to photograph this nebula using narrowband filters. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

The California Nebula. Bright, glowing dust clouds stretch across the frame, surrounded by stars. A blue glow of oxygen can be seen rising from a large expanse of red, orange, and yellow gases.

I photographed the Pleiades star cluster last night. I was able to get much more of the dust surrounding the stars this year. This cluster is easily visible to the naked eye even in light-polluted areas, and looks fantastic through a pair of binoculars. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography

I visited the southern hemisphere for the first time last week. Unfortunately, the moon was full and clouds kept rolling in, so I didn't have near the time I'd normally spend, but I did get to photograph the Large Magellanic Cloud! #astrophotography #space #astronomy #photography

The Large Magellanic Cloud, a bright streak of stars faintly glowing in the sky. To the upper right, the Taruntula nebula is visible.
