Seeking to escape the disaster the US has become, we took to the skies and caught Jupiter and the four Galilean moons last night. First time for us and we are pretty happy about that! 📸🔭 #astronomy #astrosky #jupiter

This is the very center of the Heart Nebula, captured with our SCT 9.25. I love the intricate gasses, of the very active stellar nursery! 📸🔭 #astronomy #astrobackyard

More Jupiter, this time with Ganymede and Io nearby 📸🔭 #astronomy #astrosky #astrobackyard

Jupiter in Opposition 📸🔭

Our most recent adventure into the Rosette Nebula. About 25 hours of total exposure time, ZWOFF80 telescope, ZWOASI2600mc Pro camera, ZWO AM5 mount. No filters. Stacked in Pixinsight, tweaked in Photoshop. By Tweaked, I mean star spikes and our signature. #astrophotography #astrosky #astronomy

First Bald Eagle sighting of the New Year! 🪶📸

An old friend dropped by! #birdphotography #birds #raptor #redtailedhawk

Another incredible sunset! #landscapephotography #Sunsetphotography

Moonrise last night. Clouds don’t stop it from shining!

Full Wolf Moon 🔭📸

This Canadian Goose is giving me a little side eye! 🪶📸

Happy New Year everyone!

Earlier this week, before the clouds rolled in. #astrophotography

Stop the tree, taking in the morning. 🪶📸

What are the odds that we’d get Santa in our Christmas Tree/Cone Nebula photo?! #astrophotography #astrosky

I finally finished the December 1st Time Lapse and was amazed by the amount of activity we captured! We really had no idea when we were capturing the data that this would be the result. #astrophotography #solarphotography #astrosky #dayastronomy

33 hours of exposure time over several weeks gave us this, our most recent version of the Horsehead and Flame Nebulae. Always a favorite target! #astrophotography #astrosky #astronomy #deepsky #orionconstellation

Interesting activity on the solar surface about a week ago! I’m working on a time lapse. #astrophotography #solarphotography #sunphotography #nightsky

Sun is acting up! #sunphotography #solarphotography #astrophotography #solarprominence

Shine on, especially in dark times! #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #nightsky

The surface of the sun on November 9th. #astronony #astrosky #astrophotography

From the front yard! #astrophotography #astrosky #auroras #nightsky

Caught a meteor in one of the shots we got last night! #astrophotography #astrosky #auroras #nightsky

The Sun was particularly active this week, so we did a time lapse. We witness in this video the eruption of plasma from a sunspot into a filament! #astrophotography #solarphotography #astrosky #astrobackyard

The sun has been very interesting these last few days! We finally got a break in the weather to grab a few shots! #astrophotography #sunphotography #solarphotography

Our latest Orion, taken last week. 8 hours of 60 second exposures, taken using our ZWOFF80, ZWOASI2600mc pro, ZWO AM5 mount, no filters. Stacked and processed in Pixinsight. #astrophotography #astronomy #astrosky

Life Hack: Not every night goes as planned, but perseverance in #Astrophotography builds emotional resilience. And that's what will carry you through until the day you die.

When first saw images of this comet with the colors, the strangeness of the tail, I said out loud, "I call BS. This has to be AI." but then I saw many others I thought maybe! We had some technical issues this night, but I was able to pull out this image out. This comet Lemmon is gorgeous!!! 💫📸🔭

Our first solar time lapse, taken over 1 hour last weekend. #astrophotography #solarphotography #sunphotography 🌞📸🔭

Our version of Comet Lemmon. #astrophotography #astronomy #astrosky #astrobackyard

Give flight to your dreams! You never know where they may take you! #birds #bird #hawk #redtalikawk #raptors #raptor

Happy Sunday! 🔭📸🌞☀️

Preening Season! #birds #birdphotography #redtailedhawk #hawk #raptor

Our star has been pretty active lately! In particular, sunspot regions AR4246 and AR4248. This was this morning. #astrophotography #sunphotography #astronomy #astrosky #solarphotography

Perhaps pondering the meaning of life? #birds #bird #birdphotography #naturephotography #coopershawk #hawk #raptor #raptors

Saying hello to an old friend, the Pleiades. Taken from our backyard last week. #astrophotography #astrosky #astronomy #astrobackyard

Hope you all had a Happy “Sun”day! 📸🔭🌞☀️

LBN 662 is a small section of the larger star cluster known as the Soul Nebula. It is an area of bright-rimmed globules, or cosmic pillars, sculpted by the stellar winds and intense ultraviolet radiation from hot, young stars. Captured over 7.5 hours. #astrophotography #astrobackyard #astronomy

Cooper's Hawk scan's the field for a meal. #bird #birds #birdphotography #hawk #raptor #coopershawk

Jupiter with Europa, Ganymede, and Io, taken on a cold morning! #astrophotography #astrosky #Jupiter #nightsky

We were shooting the sun yesterday when an airplane flew through the shot! I was flabbergasted! #solarphotography #sun #sunphotography #astrophotography #serendipity

“Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another day's useless energy spent.” #moonrise #moon #nightfalls
