#astro #astrophotography This weekend was The Guild of Photographers Awards ceremony. I was invited to do an Astro workshop and presentation talk which went amazing. Not only did I make the Photographers Bar, but I also won a place in the International Top Ten photographers of 2024 😍😮

#astro #deepspace I’ve been working on my Elephant Trunk Nebula. It’s been clouds for 10 days now and continuing for the foreseeable 😞

More data recycling. I shot the Lobster Claw (SH2-157) back in Sept 2023 but my original image didn't really have the Hubble-like colors I wanted. This one is much closer. #astrophotography

Evening astro! Tonight's image is of m81/82. This 24 hours of photons was gathered by my sensor over 5 sessions early in 2024 from my backyard. #astrophotography #astronomy #sonyalpha #askar

Here’s my reprocessed #IC443 #JellyfishNebula using PixInsight! Compared to my original Affinity Photo version, the PixInsight workflow brought out finer details in the filaments, improved contrast, and revealed more depth in the SHO palette. Same data, new perspective! #Astrophotography

New version of my Bubble Nebula image from Oct 2023. One of my favorite targets. Shot in SHO. When I can't shoot new targets, I play with data from older targets. #astrophotography

An all-time favorite target: the Veil Nebula supernova remnant. This is the West Veil, aka the Witch's Broom. Hydrogen (R)/oxygen (G) bicolor, 180x3' each. I'm proud of bringing out the nebula while keeping bright 52 Cyg under control! From my back yard, June 2020. #redwolfastro #astrophotography

#astro #witchhead This has been a labour of love and frustration. Every time I’ve tried for the Witchhead, something has always gone wrong or weather has been bad. Not this time 🥰

#astro Three years ago the Observatory was burned to the ground. This has such an impact on UK astronomers who were avid visitors to the Observatory and its bortle 2 skies location. Now, we have just had confirmation that a new build is going ahead and I for one can’t wait 🤩😍
