#astronomy #astro #astrophotography Livestacking Jupiter and The Ring Nebula with Sharpcap.

Are you reelin' in the years? Stowin' away the time? Are you gathering up the tears? Have you had enough of mine, yet? I guess the things you think are useless I can't understand. Thank you Murrow, Sevareide, Chronkite, Rather, Collingwood for keeping an old guy informed back in the day.

#astro #astronomy #astrophotography Lots of earthshine with tonight's fingernail moon.

#astronomy #astro #astrophotography Jupiter is visible low in the west after dark- Live stacking for online friends.

Scout Night at the DSO.

#astro #astronomy planetary on the parkway love those Edge optics! Thank Ashedarksky!

We don't get out much during a full moon, but we decided to give it a try for the micro flower moonrise. It was pretty spectacular from the Blue Ridge Parkway. We shared views and got a glimpse of starlink. #BlueRidgeParkway #Moon #Spring

#astro #astronomy #astrophotography Tube rings on the way for rehabbing 10 inch Meade SN10 (known affectionately as Large Marge) but couldn't resist a few test shots. Pillow adjusted slow-mo controls aren't the best, I recommend this alt-az configuration only for low altitude visual observation 😂

#astro #astronomy #astrophotography 2 minutes on the Leo Triplet. Did the digital equivalent of " no film in the camera" (21/2 hours of preview instead of capture) oh well it's still up there for next time!

An exceptionally clear, moonlit evening at the DSO. This followed by helping App State with more lighting measurements on the parkway. #BlueRidgeParkway #DarkSky #Astronomy

Stormy Saturday? No problem. We revert to other types of nature photography using skills gained through astrophotgraphy. #astrophotography #astronomy #lightning #darksky

#astro #astrophotography #astronomy Flame Nebula, Alnitak, and Horsehead Nebula

#astro #astrophotography #astronomy hour and a half of data at F2.8 of Horsehead and Flame nebulas. Heroic stretch of limited data by astro buddy in Siril.

Ashe DSC just completed its portion of the BRP initiative led by Colgate. Over three wonderful dark clear nights, the stretch from the VA state line down to Phillips Gap was covered (Over 50 miles). We will continue to assist App State with this inspirational project.

The fellas really enjoy a good open field. #TheLump #BlueRidgeParkway #AsheCounty

An excellent day of outreach at BOBFEST in Hickory, NC with keystone speaker (Pranvera (Pran) Hyseni) speaking on chasing occultations of stars by asteroids to determine characteristics for planetary protection. This followed by an evening of Lunar and planetary observation at New River Brewing.

#astro #astronomy #astrophotography Views through 50mm dia scope from a year ago and a photo target as soon as skies clear. Located in the constellation Orion, the Horsehead:emission nebula is a star factory like the Eagle Nebula, made famous by the Hubble iconic "pillars of creation" photo.

Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, billow or fluctus clouds, are a rare and short-lived atmospheric phenomenon that resemble breaking ocean waves formed when two layers of air of different densities & speeds interact, creating a distinctive rolling wave-like pattern in the sky.

Moon Between, Earth Between. This is a composite of 2 single frames. One of the 2024 Solar eclipse captured by Cory Dalton with a capture of the March 2025 Lunar Eclipse taken by John Boston "Star Sherpa" superimposed. #astrophotography #astronomy #astro

#astro #astronomy #astrophotography The upcoming lunar blood eclipse March 3 with totality near sunrise. You will need a clear view of the lower western sky here in NC. Nice partial views like this from last March where in upper stratosphere, ozone absorbs red light and allows blue light to pass.

#astro #astrophotography #eaa #astronomy using Sharpcap live stacking features to adjust a stack on the fly for such things as background subtraction, histogram adjustment and color noise. Small 50mm refractor and 20 year old DSLR with 20 sec exposures can give observers a satisfying live view.

#astro #astronomy #astrophotography Jupiter spins at over 28000 mph making a full revolution in less than 10 hours. The red spot (upper right) disappears and Moon Io makes transit (lower right) during wonderful winter imaging session . Get out and enjoy Jupiter at its brightest & all the winter sky!
