Faint integrated flux nebula see around Polaris, the North Star ✨ This dusty region is lit up by our own Milky Way galaxy. The integrated flux of all the stars is enough to light up this faint dust Captured from my garden in England, UK 🔭✨ #astrophotography #space #nightsky

Mars at opposition, January 16th 2025. Mars is much smaller than it was in 2018/2020, but I was still able to resolve clouds and detail on the Martian surface 🙌🔭 Photographed from my garden with a (pretty big) telescope #astronomy #space #mars #planets #astrophotography #solarsystem

Mars rotation. Mars has a day length almost the same as the Earth, at about 23.5 hrs. I made this video from nearly 100 separate images, taken over a period of over 4 hrs. I've speeded it up to show the rotation, and plays at about 3660x real-time speed. #astrophotography 🔭

Now onto a target I've wanted to capture for quite a long time! The Tadpoles Nebula is really cool and with my telescope setup, I can get up close and personal with it. #astronomy #space #telescope #universe #astrophotography

Jupiter and Europa last night - photographed from my garden in the UK. Conditions were mostly cloudy, but brief gaps revealed the incredibly bright dot in the sky that is Jupiter. The striking bands on Jupiter's surface never cease to amaze me 🤩 #astronomy #astrophotography 🔭

Another planetary nebula. The Owl Nebula, also known as,Messier 97, is located in the constellation Ursa Major and is around 2000 light away from us. Taken with my Edge HD8 telescope earlier this year. Can you see the eyes of the owl? #astrophotography 🔭

👻 The ghost of Cassiopeia ✨🔭 The ghost of Cassiopeia (IC 63) is a reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. The ghost shape comes from the hydrogen that makes up the nebula structure being bombarded by ultraviolet radiation from the nearby star of Gamma Cassiopeiae.

⚠️⚠️ DO NOT TRY THIS ⚠️⚠️ Risky business over here at the Welsh border. 63mph winds and my telescope outside in the middle of the storm! I was away and the storm wasn’t forecast before I left! Thankfully it survived! 🙏 #stormdarragh
