Had the #Seestar out in framing mode on M81 and M82 tonight. The 3D printed dew/light shield helped with the gradient from local street lights. This is a quick process of the Seestar stacked fits file. I'll debayer, register and stack the raw fits files tomorrow. #astrophotography #astronomy

The protagonist of this photo is the nebula called Herbig-Haro 46/47, which is located in the Vela Constellation, 1,470 light-years away from Earth. In a small corner below the Herbig-Haro 46/47 nebula, an object shaped like a question mark "?" was discovered, which is interesting and curious.

I am currently putting one of @hausderastronomie.bsky.social 's Celestron Origins through its paces. This is 3.75 hours' worth of photons for the Whirlpool Galaxy M51. I really like the level of detail. You can even see the small pink dots of ultra-hot hydrogen gas! 1/ 🧪🔭

16K followers, thank you all so much. I am absolutely stunned and amazed. Here’s the Andromeda galaxy, our neighbour, located 2.5M light years away. So in this image we are seeing it as it was 2.5 million years ago. The 2nd image is the rig I used. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

The Pacman Nebula (NGC 281) is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia and was discovered in 1883 by Emerson Barnard. Due to the object's path and the pine forest at my location it required several sessions to collect SHO data used for this photo #astronomy #astrophotography
