It was a wonderful night for observing; even with the local light pollution I was able to see some globular clusters (m5 and m13) and a couple of the galaxies in the Leo triplet!

Photographed the Wasp star cluster last night (NGC 6633). The cluster is about the same size as the moon in the night sky, and can been seen early in the morning this time of year. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

Started a ko-fi. I'm planning to simply have it there as a tip jar. ko-fi.com/dummymage

Turns out I can get a decent few of the southern side of the sky, but not for long with all the trees around. I split my project time as a result. I hope to have one finished over the next couple days.

Very excited to announce I recently had one of my photos featured in the Strange Pear gallery as a winner of their Space Jam contest, sponsored by the National Space Society.

I have a print shop now! If you want a copy of one of my photos for your wall, or just want to support me, check it out! www.inprnt.com/gallery/twoi...

I think they somehow made image hosting worse on this site it really butchered the quality of my last post

Bode's galaxy and the Cigar galaxy. I spent three nights photographing this pair of galaxies from my driveway using a monochrome camera and filters. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

Quick WIP again, let’s hope I have enough clear nights to finish it

If you had to pick a telescope to cover both planetary imaging and high focal length deep sky imaging (think galaxies and planetary nebula) what would you pick and why? #astrophotography #astronomy

Officially moved in to my first house! It’s very surreal to finally own a home.

I got owned as well, but it makes sense

The California Nebula, named after the state its shape mimics. It took two nights to photograph this nebula using narrowband filters. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

I spent six hours photographing the Triangulum Galaxy from a local parking lot. I wish light pollution wasn't so terrible here. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

The Heart Nebula I spent 10 hours photographing this nebula from a nearby parking lot. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

NGC 6946 - The Fireworks Galaxy I spent 5 hours photographing this galaxy under extra dark skies. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

North American Nebula and the Pelican nebula I spent 11 hours photographing these nebula in narrowband. I know I've spent a lot of time photographing this nebula, but it's one of my favorites, and I do a little better each time. #astrophotography #photography

In other news, I'm finally going to have my own place: no more parking lot photos. The only bad part is its surrounded by very tall trees so my patch of sky just got significantly smaller.

At it again. Probably won’t be finished for a couple more nights, but have a WIP of the Christmas Tree nebula

There are two proposals that would further worsen light pollution: SpaceX launching 1 million additional satellites, along with a satellite mirror cluster designed to reflect sunlight to mimic daytime. Please use the link below to stop these. #astronomy #space darksky.org/news/two-sat...

Kinda feels like the Wild West era of the internet is sunsetting.

Looking forward to mercury being in retrograde starting on the 26th

I photographed the Rosette nebula over the past 3 nights. It was a bit chilly but I'm glad to be back at it, and also glad I got to shoot this before it got too low on the horizon. See alt text for nerd details. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy #space

A quick post to let you know I’m not dead. A new project is underway now that it’s not -10 out. If the weather holds I’ll have it finished in a few days. #astrophotography #photography

Currently digging Romeo is a Deadman Game is indescribably cool in the best way #RomeoIsADeadman

I've been a bit inactive Partially because of cold weather, partially because I've lost motivation after a telescope broke

Jupiter is in opposition right now! If it’s clear where you’re at, check it with a telescope, binoculars, or even your naked eye! It should be easy to pick out and much brighter than the stars around it.

Places I’ve been map trends are fun, but I’m not doxxing myself

Why are we doing Iraq part two

I built a new PC at the of the year using parts from Black Friday sales. It’s much better than my old one. Only problem is I lost a lot of my streaming assets and my entire setup. I can try to reconfigure everything and recover my files but it’s going to be a struggle..

I’m glad scheduled posts aren’t a thing

Merry Christmas everyone. May your holiday be as bright as the Orion nebula! #photography #astrophotography #astronomy #space It was very foggy while shooting this, but I take the clear nights when I can in the winter.

I photographed the Horsehead nebula, one of my favorite deep sky objects. I spent two nights photographing this nebula, separated by a month in-between due to cloud cover and snow. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

It is very cold, but its worth it to finally get outside and under the stars

Cold weather and snow have been keeping me out of the field. Hoping the skies eventually clear so I can finish my horsehead and Orion Nebula projects

The California Nebula, named after the state its shape mimics. It took two nights to photograph this nebula using narrowband filters. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

My mount has now developed a quirk where it will shut down during meridian flips… I’m not sure if it’s due to a loose cable or or a power problem but a quick browse says this isn’t uncommon for the AM5 to develop.

I photographed the Pleiades star cluster last night. I was able to get much more of the dust surrounding the stars this year. This cluster is easily visible to the naked eye even in light-polluted areas, and looks fantastic through a pair of binoculars. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography

I visited the southern hemisphere for the first time last week. Unfortunately, the moon was full and clouds kept rolling in, so I didn't have near the time I'd normally spend, but I did get to photograph the Large Magellanic Cloud! #astrophotography #space #astronomy #photography

This is the one day of the year it’s socially acceptable to wear a large mage hat and I relish it

I bought a new eyepiece and the forecast instantly changed to two weeks of clouds

I spent six hours photographing the Triangulum Galaxy from a local parking lot. I wish light pollution wasn't so terrible here. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

Been traveling a lot recently, bit under the weather as a result. I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things soon

Here ya go! Sorry it took so long to get it to ya was fighting the posemaniacs website to find a good angle for your oc :>

New eyepiece!! (Of course it’s cloudy though so no testing)

The Pac-Man nebula. I photographed this nebula from a nearby parking lot, using long exposures over the course of 3 nights. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

I spent 20 hours photographing the Andromeda galaxy, taking long exposures over the course of four nights to create this image. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

I’ve been working long hours recently so my photography time has been limited. I’ve been working on a couple projects though, and I’ll hopefully get at least one processed tomorrow. No promises, but I’m very excited about a 20 hour one in particular.

I guess I need new tires
