The Veil Nebula in Cygnus, supernova remnants, in wide field. This is what’s left of a massive star that exploded thousands of years ago. The shockwaves from that supernova still ripple through space, shaping these intricate filaments of ionized gas. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭 #TicosEnAtacama

Dark Doodad Nebula and Globular Cluster NGC 4327 The Dark Doodad Nebula is a striking dark nebula located near the globular cluster NGC 4372, in the direction of the constellation Musca, the Fly, in the southern sky. #astrophotography #astronomy #TicosEnAtacama 🔭

Centaurus A Galaxy (NGC 5128) Centaurus A is a very peculiar galaxy because it emits a giant jet of energy outward at incredible speeds, making it a constant subject of study for astronomers. #astrophotography #astronomy #TicosEnAtacama 🔭

One of the most striking sights in the southern sky is, without a doubt, the Magellanic Clouds—two dwarf galaxies that orbit our Milky Way. Their name comes from their diffuse appearance, visible even to the naked eye as small cloud-like patches in the night sky. #astrophotography 🔭 #TicosEnAtacama

The Southern Cross constellation is one of the most iconic in the southern hemisphere, not just for its distinctive shape, but because it has historically served as a reference point for navigation and geographic orientation. #astrophotography 🔭 #TicosEnAtacama

NGC 6727, the Rampaging Baboon Nebula in Corona Australis. Reflection nebula nestled within the Corona Australis molecular cloud. Amid a sea of stars in the constellation Corona Australis lies a vast region of dusty nebulae that obscure the light from background stars. #astrophotography 🔭

I forgot to share this one from Feb-2005!! 😱 My First Mosaic—Rosette Nebula in the Monoceros Constellation, the Unicorn. I had been meaning to learn how to capture and process mosaics, and I decided that the Rosette Nebula was a great candidate for this. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

Tired of the rain and clouds here in the tropics, I packed two of my astrophotography equipment and headed off with my wife and a group of astrophotographer friends to the Atacama Desert in Chile for a week, one of the places with the best skies in the world. #astrophotography 🔭

Rho Ophiuchi A beautiful zone surrounding the massive Antares star located in the Scorpious constellation. Taken in Atacama using Askar V telescopes and ZWO ASI2600MC pro cameras, in collaboration with @cybertron-astrophoto.com. 3x3 mosaic #TicosEnAtacama #Astrophotography #Astro

The dry season has ended, and the galaxy season wasn’t particularly favorable for me due to bad weather. Nevertheless, I managed to capture some images, mainly because I started early. This time, I photographed M95 and M96, 2 galaxies in Leo. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

M109, unofficially nicknamed the Tie Fighter Galaxy by me, earned its name because its core reminded me of a Star Wars TIE Fighter. This striking barred spiral galaxy is nestled in the direction of Ursa Major, appearing near the star Phecda (γ Ursa Major). #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

Wide Field of Nebulae in the Monoceros Constellation, the Unicorn. Including the iconic Rosette Nebula, the Cone Nebula, the Fox Fur Nebula, Hubble's Variable Nebula, and the Christmas Tree Cluster. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

My second image of the Jellyfish Nebula, but this time using the 130mm telescope and the ASI2600 MC Pro; I also decided to use the HOO palette for processing the image. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

At the end of January, I realized that I have been doing astrophotography for about four years and, surprisingly, I don't have any beautiful broadband photo of the Orion Nebula. I only have one narrowband photo from 2023.

In January, while awaiting the rise of M81-M82, I captured images of the Fossil Footprint Nebula (NGC 1491) in Perseus. My main goal was to test the Antlia Quad-band filter's performance with emission nebulae. This image is the result of 11 hours of integration. #astrophotography #astrocostarica

Timelapse of the Total Lunar Eclipse on March 13-14 I had the opportunity to capture a timelapse of the total lunar eclipse that occurred last Thursday and Friday. This video illustrates the sequence of the Moon entering the shadow cast by the Earth. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

Magical night! We were able to enjoy the total lunar eclipse, through the penumbra, partial phase, and totality, until it became cloudy during the second partial phase. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

Tonight's Moon, 98% iluminated. Ready for tomorrow's eclipse. #astrophotography

Tonight's Moon, 96% iluminated. I keep practicing for this week eclipse. #astrophotography

This impressive field of nebulae is located in the constellation of Auriga and includes several nebulae well-known among astronomers, such as the Flaming Star, the Tadpoles, the Spider, and the Fly. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

M81, known as Bode's Galaxy, and M82, known as the Cigar Galaxy, are two galaxies that are very close to each other, so much so that they are already being affected by the enormous gravitational forces of each other. #astrophotography 🔭 #astrocostarica

The second image I captured during my trip to Ensenada was of the Great Carina Nebula, specifically its central structures. This remarkable nebula in the southern sky is so massive and bright that it can be seen with the naked eye in dark skies, a true delight. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

NGC 1333, popularly known as the Embryo Nebula, is a region that contains reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, and other interesting objects. 3 hours and 50 minutes of data from the dark skies (B3) of Abangaritos, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. #astrophotography #astrocostarica 🔭

Happy Valentine's Day! The Heart Nebula (IC 1805) is a large emission nebula complex in the constellation Cassiopeia, ressembling a giant space heart. It's located approximately 7,500 light-year away from our planet. #astrophotography 🔭

Hi, I'm an amateur astrophotographer from Costa Rica. I like to shoot deep space objects with my 2 rigs, specially from my light polluted backyard, but sometimes I travel to darker skies. I'm also looking to learn new techniques for capturing and processing. #astrophotography 🔭
