Welcome to 2025! My first images of M1 the Crab Nebula in both SHO and FORAXX palettes. The SHO image is my preferred one despite not getting the colours as I'd like. Moving onto some LRGB targets next, weather permitting 🌨 #astrophotography #astronomy

This is my image of the Elephants Trunk Nebula which is part of the larger #IC1396 Nebula. 24 hrs total exposure using H-alpha, [SII] and [OIII] filters. This is a starless version using the free Starnet++ sw to remove the stars. #Astrophotography #nebula #space #astronomy

My final version of the Wizard Nebula in SHO with RGB stars. Would have loved to get more data on the nebula but the weather had other ideas! #astrophotography #astronomy #nebula #galaxy #deepsky #star #deepskyphoto #deepspacephoto #ioptron #asi294mm #tsoptics #Astrophotography #NightSky #Stars

Work in progress, NGC 7380 the Wizard Nebula. Need a bit more time on the nebula then going to replace the stars with true colour stars. More to follow! #astrophotography #astronomy #nebula #galaxy #deepsky #star #deepskyphoto #deepspacephoto

Cosmic Question Mark reprocessed 🌌 Captured amidst the vastness of space the intricate blend of colours, from dark veils of dust to glowing gas, serves as a reminder of how many questions the universe still holds. #astronomy #astrophotography

Work in progress! HOO version of the Dumbbell Nebula. Only managed 4.5hrs of integration time so far and need to get some RGB stars as I'm not a fan of the HOO stars. Hoping to finish this later next week so keep tuned! #astrophotography #astronomy

The Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146), a stellar nursery located in the constellation Cygnus. This vibrant nebula showcases ongoing star formation, with its striking pink hue emitted by ionised hydrogen gas. A remarkable view of the cosmos. #Astronomy #CocoonNebula #Astrophysics #Astrophotography

Just reprocessed my old data of the Tadpole Nebula! 🌌It’s amazing what a fresh look can reveal. Always worth revisiting old captures with new techniques. #Astrophotography #TadpoleNebula #Space
