Welcome Jim!!! Great to bump into you here. #astrophotograohy 🔭📷

For the astrophotographers out there. Check out this new publication. #astrophotography #stars #photography publuu.com/flip-book/75...?

I'm truly looking forward to the results of this mission. Nice to see things progressing!!! #Space #SolarSystem #astronomy 🔭 🧪

It's been a super busy week so I'm finally getting around to processing some images that I've been hitting over multiple clear sky nights. This one is the Medusa nebula and it's actually a planetary nebula but again has nothing to do with planets but was formed by a PG 1159 star. #astrophotography

The 'Boogeyman' Nebula 📸 My latest deep-sky image is a stunning Dark Nebula in the constellation Orion. This image includes exactly 10 hours of total exposure time! This is such a beautiful area of the night sky, with Barnards Loop separating the Boogeyman and the nearby reflection nebula, M78.

My #Seestar S50 braved the cold for me the other night, and 20 minutes on M42 had a good result. #astrophotography 🔭📷

The Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405/SH2-229) using a. #SeeStar About an hour of data. So happy to score this partial night after harsh winter weather and cold have ruined the Upstate NY skies. Great to be out there!! Amazing what this scope can pull off... #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭📷

This image showcases three cosmic wonders: the Rosette Nebula, with its distinctive floral pattern; the Christmas Tree Nebula, and the Cone Nebula. The frame highlights the beauty and diversity of these hydrogen-rich regions where stars are being born. #Astro #Astrophotography

Looks like it is going!!! Go #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn.

Really excited to have stumbled on the #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn launch tonight! #spaceflight #rockets.

Busy Rocket Factory. Any guesses on which missions these guys will fly?

The Cigar Galaxy 📸 Here is my latest photo of the Cigar Galaxy from the backyard. I love that you can see the vibrant red filaments of hydrogen gas being pushed out by powerful stellar winds! 8 Hours Total Exposure

Excited to share the SBG Astrophotography Starter Pack, which I started yesterday. It's already up to 78 members! If you're an astrophotographer and want to join, let me know. If you love this unique photography, open the link and follow all! go.bsky.app/HLsXa3n

Something I've been working on is how to get contrast on open star clusters and to get the coloring to pop. I'm not quite there yet, but here is my latest attempt at NGC 7789 Carolyn's Rose. This is about 35 minutes of RGB each. SVX102T and a ZWO ASI2600MM Pro camera. #astronomy #astrophotography 🔭📷

Orion Medley: experimental starless mixup of HSO and RGB data from different cameras and optics. #astrophotography #space #telescopelive #justforfun

Just amazing to me that there were over 260 launches in 2024. An amazing fact! #spaceflight #launches #nasa #space www.universetoday.com/170295/there...

This is a 4 panel mosaic of Andromeda using the 115mm APO to capture additional detail compared to my Redcat51 version. I also used some masking in PS to bring out more detail in the image, the core of which is easily overexposed. Happy New Year! www.astrobin.com/8lnx5y/B/ #astrophotography

Flyby Jupiter animation using data set from last night Jan 1st, 2025 . Interesting to see some features from a different perspective. Has been looking ways to do this, thanks to chatgpt and github copilot! Summary of steps described in the youtube page. youtu.be/Vb0cD3oNL7c #astrophotography

Kindness costs less than hate. Rather than yell at someone here, go find someone near you and tell them how awesome they are.

That is a wild image. Very well done! Wow!

RIP Atilla. A great person, great mind, a master of humor, a wonderful commitment to our hobby. Every great act of #astronomy or #astrophotography likely started with his hard and relentless work. This one hits hard. #ClearSkyCharts www.ottawacremationservice.ca/obituaries/A...

AstroBin's Image of the Day: "C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas | Oct 20, 2024" by Jonathan Hill#astrophotography

Another one from October 10th #Aurora outbreak. This is my personal observatory under the greenish sky, literally minutes before the bigger storm broke loose. #astrophotography

Another #aurora shot from October 10th. This one looking over the Observatory pond and was just before the peak of the storm. #astrophotography

My first deep sky astrophoto. NGC 7331 Taken with Kopernik Observatory's 20" OGS R/C & FLI Proline imaging system back in 2017. I'm very thankful to the great people and equipment I've had access to that have helped develop my #astrophotography 🔭 I'll be using this rig more in the coming winter.
