A nice gathering of nebulae and stars in the Auriga region, including The Flaming Star, Tadpoles, Spider, and Fly nebulae, plus the Starfish Cluster. This was around six and a half hours of data with a OSC camera and narrowband filter. #astronomy #astrophotography #photography #astro #space

To Astrophotographers: I'm building a bot to perform astrometry on your astrophoto posts. Mention @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social , and it’ll reply with calib data, detected objects, an annotated image, and a sky map. Before investing more time, do you find this useful? See the bot's response below.

An astrolandscape shot from when I was exploring Kazakhstan (Almaty region) back in the summer. #astro #astronomy #landscape #astrophotography #landscapephotography #photography #kazakhstan

I did a quick re-edit of a very old photo from over a decade ago. This image of a fisherman with his cormorants was taken in Southern China during the morning blue hour. It was very early, and incredibly humid! #photography #art #landscapephotography #travel #travelphotography #landscape #china

The wild horses near Cappadocia in Turkey with a beautiful stratovolcano in the background. It took me a long time shooting and several thousand shots to capture this scene. Other photographers can relate! #landscape #photography #landscapephotography #wildlife #turkey #nature #naturephotography

This was my second attempt at my favourite galaxy to image - The Triangulum Galaxy (M33). This had a total integration time of 7 hours and 30 mins over one evening. Feel free to like it and share it if it's your thing. No worries if not! #astronomy #astrophotography #astro #photography #space

After recently finishing, "Yeonnam-Dong's Smiley Laundromat", I'm now halfway through, "Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop" by the same translator and I'm really getting into my Korean healing fiction! #booksky 📚💙 #books #reading #ilovebooks #healingfiction #korean

One of the most surreal scenes I've ever photographed! Any guesses as to where this is?! #art #landscape #photography #landscapephotography #travel #travelphotography

One of my favourite shots from Morocco. Taken when I was on a hotel shoot in the Sahara, around Merzouga. #art #landscape #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #morocco

For my astronomy friends, here is my first attempt at the Seagull Nebula between Monoceros and Canis Major. #astro #astronomy #astrophotography #photography

Here is my first attempt at shooting the Cygnus Wall in the North America Nebula. It's a region of very active star formation. It is 75 x 5 minutes exposures, giving a total integration time of 6 hours and 15 mins. #astronomy #astrophotography #photography

Hey #BookSky💙📚! I've never read any Richard Osman books before and I thought I'd finally give them a go. I have these two, but I was wondering if there's a better one to start with? #books #reading #ilovebooks

Just finished reading this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Light-hearted comedy mystery. I'm pleased to know that there's a sequel coming out in April! #BookSky💙📚 #books #reading #ilovebooks

I thought I'd use here to also showcase my love of space and space photography. This is the famous Horsehead and Flame nebulae in the Orion constellation. I think this was around 3 hours of integration time with an ASI2600MC and WO Z73 scope. Enjoy! #space #astronomy #astrophotography #photography

Moon Tower My first post here! One of my favourite images from last year, when I took a trip to San Marino. By complete coincidence, this happened to be during a medieval festival, so one of the famous towers was open late, allowing me to get this viewpoint at sunset! #photography #travel
