My latest image of the Carina Nebula. It's 7500 light years from Earth. It was taken over 3 delightfully clear nights here in Adelaide. Still working on my processing techniques - this is a trial using Peter Zelinka's 2025 Workflow.

The Trifid Nebula, M20. This is the compilation of four nights of work on the Seestar S50. This is becoming a favourite for me. #astrophotograpy #seestar #astronomy

Just finished processing the Firebird Nebula. I used EQ mode, mosiac mode and planning mode over two nights and captured 545, 20-second images. Click on the image to get the full impact. Starless version to follow. #astrophotography #seestar #astronomy

Just finished processing this NGC 3324 Nebula. 320 20-second subs on the Seestar S50. I don't know if I have overdone it, but I am pretty happy with it. Long live nebula season! #astrophotography #seestar

youtu.be/7oubo6Wdazw?... I just watched a video on the evolution of flight in birds. I thought it was very good, but I don't know enough to know how authentic it is. Can any #bird or #feathered_dinosaur experts weigh in? #paleontology #evolution

M83 (Southern Pinwheel Galaxy). 1300+ 20sec images using Seestar S50 in the new equatorial mode. I'm still working on my processing but I'm very pleased with this!
