👨‍👩‍👦‍👦7 sisters family portrait My last attempt on the Pleiades. Easy to capture, not that easy to keep clean , in particular, collimation to get crisp star spikes. 📷Newton 130/900 · Sony A7S · 6h exposure #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social what do you see ?

The planetary nebula Sh2-188 in the constellation Cassiopeia is also known as Shrimp Nebula due to its shape. I took this image over five nights in August using a C8, an ASI294mc Pro camera and a total exposure time of around 13 hours (details in image) #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

This brave little black rhino has a heartbreaking story - his mother fatally fell off a cliff, and for two days, the tiny baby gave his rescuers the run round. Now he’s safe at our Nairobi Nursery where he has found the love of a new human family. Discover Tytan’s full rescue story: swt.bio/tytan

Wolf’s Cave Nebula (LDN 1217 / vdB 152) captured on two nights a couple of weeks ago 😊🔭 This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a total integration time of about 8.5 hours. I combined OSC and mono Ha data for this image. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social‬ what do you see?

Nestled within clouds of dark interstellar dust is the Iris Nebula. Captured with 34 hours of integration time, using my Askar FRA500 (0.7x), ZWO AM5N, and ASI2600MC camera. 🤩 My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure

1/ The Flying Bat nebula (Sh2-129), hiding within it the famous and extremely elusive blue Squid (Ou4), has been my longest-running project so far, and the one I’ve spent the most nights on over the past three years. At this point, a real case of astrophotographic stubbornness. 🔭 #Astrophotography

The Eagle Nebula's overall shape is thought to resemble an eagle with outstretched wings. The total integration time was fifteen hours. My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #nebula #photography

I just finished reading this book and can highly recommend it 🙂 It’s a good read and I really enjoyed it!

Et voici C/2025 R2 (SWAN) prise en 18minutes avec le RASA 14" de l'OBP au Chili sur les filtres RVB. Un traitement de comète en mono... il faut vraiment pas être bien dans sa tête 😂😂 (coucou @pahcas.bsky.social ! Je pourrais jouer encore avec votre jouet à l'occasion ? 😇) #astrophotography 🔭

LBN 437 Gecko Nebula located in the constellation Lacerta. I had imaged this area as widefield two years ago but decided I wanted to try and isolate this molecular cloud and reflection nebula on its own. Total integration time 21 hrs. #astrophotography #colorado #nikon

🔭CTA 1 (aka SNR G119.5+10.2) is a huge supernova remnant in Cepheus. It's very faint. The small bright speck is NGC 40, a planetary nebula. Follow the link below to zoom in. #CTA1 #SNRG119.5+10.2 #ngc40 #astrophotography #astronomy #trevincaskies Large: app.astrobin.com/i/u5rscm

Hello les amis ! Enfin de retour chez moi, j'ai pu traiter la nébuleuse de la tarentule, prise avec le RASA 14 au Chili de l'OBP. SO MANY STAAAARS ! Un sacré bonheur d'avoir accès à ce genre d'image ! #astrophotography 🔭

LDN 1165 captured on two nights a couple of weeks ago 😊🔭 This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a total integration time of 7 hours in OSC and Mono. I used the mono Ha data to enhance the red and the luminance details. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social‬ what do you see?

The Andromeda Galaxy, approximately 2.5 million ly away, is the closest large spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and best observed in October. ▼ Baader Apo 95 CaF2 | SkyEye62AM '25 © Thomas Hanrath '25 · CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #nature astrocamp.eu/en/andromeda...

Dark dust clouds in Perseus with the #Embryo nebula NGC1333 in the bottom left corner. Shot this 7 days ago from my backyard. #astrophotgraphy 🔭📷 reveals what our eyes won't always see....but it's not because we don't see it that it's not there. Where do you put this @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social?

LBN 457 is a faint H II region located in Cepheus. Situated roughly 1,000 ly from Earth and is best observed in mid August. ▼ Baader Apo 95 CaF2 | Canon EOS R(a) '24 © Thomas Hanrath '25 · CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 #astrophotography #nightsky #space #astronomy #telescope #clearsky #photography #nature

That was an exciting evening on 18 October: 2 cameras, 2 comets and, to top it off, some #auroraborealis: C/2025 R2 (SWAN) was close to the bright nebulae M16 & M17 and the open clusters NGC6645 & M25 (1. image). Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) tried to hide behind clouds but failed (2.)😉 #astrophotography

Here's the Garlic (aka Medulla) nebula in all of its glory. This is a very dim target. I collected about 53 hours of data with 38 of that being spent on the hydrogen. I don't normally post the starless versions of my images but it was just too good not to include. #astrophotography #photography

I tried my best to capture an L-RGB image of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon using a monochrome cam. It's feasable, but it's not as nice and starightforward as with a color cam because Comets move fast!!!!! #astrophotography. Where's this @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

Hi all #astronomy fans out there ✨! I managed to shoot the Cocoon Nebula (IC5146) and its trailing dust train over the past two nights, using my backyard #astrophotography setup. The weather Gods blessed me I guess 😇. Lots of Hydrogen in the background. What's out there @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

I was able to get another three hours of NGC 7293, the Helix Nebula, and I think I'm ready to call it done. Especially in light of the coming rain. #Astronomy #astrophotography

Here's M33. This one is about 52 hours spread across LRGB and HA. I shot a bit of Oiii accidentally but didn't end up incorporating it into the image. It was definitely a bit of a challenge to work on, I think the sub times were too long for such a bright object. #astrophotography #photography

I captured Comet Lemmon early October 7, 2025. Using my 300mm Ceravolo telescope and CCD camera. About 30 minutes of total exposures using LRGB filters. The tail is much longer than shown in this 1 degree field of view. #astrophotography #astronomy #comet #cometlemmon

The North America, Pelican and gulf of Mexico (yep, not the "gulf of America" 😇) nebulae to which I added SII subs last night from my backyard. SHO is an unusual #Astrophotography 🔭📷 palette but I do like it. I'm pretty sure @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social will solve this one in a breeze.

From my backyard : Summer is going away gracefully, and with it the North America Nebula NGC7000 in the Milky Way plane. I count around 69 000 stars in this #Astrophotography 🔭📷picture! Can you guess where this is @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

This is NGC7293, the Helix Nebula. I got a couple of hours of it last month, but that didn't feel like enough. I got another couple last night. I'd like to double the exposure time, but the seeing is supposed to be awful tonight, and there's rain coming. I'll try. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

The central area of the Soul Nebula (IC 1848) in the Cassiopeia constellation, about 7,500 light years away from Earth. Less than 2 hours of h-alpha data (combined with older color data). Targeting 20+ hours of exposure. Gear: 130/910mm apo, Antlia 2.5nm ha-filter & ASI 2600mm pro. #astrophotography

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) in the early hours of 3 October, captured through the C8 with an ASI294mc and additionally with a Nikon D5600 and a Tamron 70-200 at a focal length of 130 mm. The #comet was also nice to observe visually and will hopefully brighten significantly. #astrophotography

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky. But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭 #Astrophotography

Caldwell 33, the Eastern Veil Nebula, in Cygnus, about 2,500 ly away. Best observed early August. Detailed Information: astrocamp.eu/en/ngc-6992-... ▼ Baader Apo 95 CaF2 | Canon EOS R(a) '24 #astrophotography #nightsky #space #astronomy #telescope #clearsky #photography #nature

LBN 437 The Gecko Nebula captured from my dark site in southern France last month 🇫🇷 😊🔭 It was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a total integration time of 8 hours in OSC and Mono. The red nebulosity was enhanced with Ha data. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social‬ what do you see?

The Tadpoles in Auriga shot in narrow band SHO (Sulfur, Hydrogen, Oxygen) from my backyard during last night's #Astrophotography 🔭📷 session. Slightly psychedelic colors but I like those 🫠. The stars are RGB though. Am I spot on @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

The Fireworks Galaxy is a face-on spiral galaxy in Cygnus, about 21 million ly away, and is best observed end of July. Detailed Information: astrocamp.eu/en/caldwell-... ▼ Baader Apo 95 CaF2 | EOS M100(a) '23 #astrophotography #nightsky #space #astronomy #telescope #clearsky #photography #nature

🔭W63 is a supernova remnant located in Cygnus. This narrowband image shows Ha, OIII and SII emissions. This object is large and very faint, I needed more than 70 hours of exposure time overall. #w63 #supernova #cygnus #astrophotography #astronomy #trevincaskies Large: app.astrobin.com/i/ojffra

The bane of all #astrophotography 🔭 📷 amateurs is stars throwing a tantrum right next to tiny, delicate, nebulae...Navi is such a star, glowing from just beyond the top left corner of this image of the Ghost of Cassiopeia #IC63 I shot from my backyard 🙂. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Voici NGC 4725, une belle galaxie spirale dans la Chevelure de Bérénice ! C'est pas la saison ? Haha oui, ce sont mes photos d'avril que je viens de traiter 😅 N'est-elle pas tout mignonne ? #astrophotography 🔭

LDN 1251 The Rotten Fish Nebula captured from my dark site in southern France this month 🇫🇷 😊🔭 This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a total integration time of about 4 hours using an OSC cam with just the UV/IR-Cut filter. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social‬ what do you see?

Just finished processing my HaLRGB image of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) At ~2.5 million light years away, Andromeda is our nearest spiral neighbour. The pink regions mark hydrogen-rich star-forming nebulae, while the dusty lanes and bright core reveal stunning depth. #Astrophotography #Andromeda

Trifecta. Bat and Squid nebulae are front and center(ish). The top of B150 (Dark Seahorse) is at the right edge. The bat flies about 2,400 light years away. ~80 hours of data collected in 4 wideband and 2 narrowband filters with my scope in SW New Mexico. #astrophotography #photography

Black rhinos are a critically endangered species. Here in Kenya, they suffered a catastrophic 98% decline between 1970 and 1983, as poaching decimated their population. But today, Kenya’s black rhinos are growing in number. In honour of #WorldRhinoDay, read Chamboi’s full story: swt.bio/chamboi

🔭 Sûrement ma plus belle astrophoto 🤩 C'est la nébuleuse du Cocon (IC 5146) que j'ai capturée cette nuit, pendant 8h, en couleurs naturelles (LRGB). Elle est absolument sublime 😍 #astrophotography telescopius.com/pictures/vie...

🔭 Nouvelle nuit sans nuage veut dire nouvelle nuit d'astrophoto 😊 Et cette fois, c'est vers la galaxie d'Andromède que j'ai pointé mon télescope ! Il faudra encore quelques nuits pour faire une mosaïque et l'avoir en entière, mais je suis super content du résultat déjà 🤩 #astrophotography
