There was a total lunar eclipse the other day. I was very excited to see it and potentially get a few photos. Unfortunately, because there was an interesting astronomical event, NJ weather obliged as it usually does.

Still haven't gotten the rig outside. Here's an image I did of NGC 3718. It's a rather interesting galaxy, reminiscent of Centauras A. Just over 17 hours LRGB with my 8" EdgeHD and 294MM Pro. #astrophotography #astronomy #space #nightsky #galaxies

What got me into #astrophotography? Sitting in my backyard taking pictures of various wildlife like this #downywoodpecker catching a meal. Captured with my #Lumix G9 at 400mm, f/8, ISO 1600, 1/60s. #birds #wildlifephotography

No new photons of my own. However, @sadrastro.com provided a dataset of the #northamericanebula and #pelicannebula taken at their remote observatory. Also, www.setiastro.com just released the "Perfect Palette Picker" tool. Here's the image I created. #astrophotography #astronomy #space #nightsky

In the center of the #heartnebula lies Melotte 15, a young cluster of stars whose stellar winds and radiation give rise to the fantastic cloud formations and structure. 8.5 hours of Ha/Oiii data taken with my 8" EdgeHD and 294MM Pro. #astrophotography #astronomy #space #photography #nightsky

I just got added to a #starterpack. How cool is that? Thanks @sbgphotography.bsky.social for adding me to go.bsky.app/HLsXa3n

This is a target I go back to nearly every winter. Bode's Galaxy (M81) shot with my 8" EdgeHD, 294MM Pro and Chroma LRGB filters. To the left is Holmberg IX. This is about 16.5 hours taken over a few nights in February of 2023. #astronomy #astrophotography #space #galaxy

Happy New Year everyone!

Ugh. 2024 can’t end soon enough. My mother passed away on Sunday. Today I was informed by the company I’ve worked with for the past 5 years that there just wasn’t anything in the pipeline for me in 2025 and they were terminating my contract. So, now I’m looking for work.

Luna is opening her presents and having a blast 😊. Merry Christmas everyone!

On December 24, 1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts became the first humans to orbit the moon and capture the famous Earthrise photograph. #onthisday
