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?

Beautiful Image, Bernd! Nice stars and a beautiful color palette make it rich in discoveries from edge to edge 🤩

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) taken on 19 October from the roof of our garage at 135 mm focal length (stack of 192 10s-subs). Despite thin clouds and streetlights between the comet and me, the gas & dust tails are clearly visible in different colors. Brings back memories of Hale-Bopp #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

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?

Amazing! The name ist quite apt. One can see all the delicious bits an pieces 🫠 Glad you had clear night in France to capture this.

Weil done! Your new camera seems to keep you up an out. Looking forward to your next projects as the nights keep getting longer 🔭

That is an amazing image, Bernd! Congratulations 👏 58h is well beyond my longest integration time and really pays off in [OIII]. Definitely an inspiration to go deeper the next time I get the chance, too.

😅

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Wonderful sight 🧪🔭

Really great seeing last night for about an hour, and then the cloud appeared. Jupiter through my 8" SCT #astrophotography 🔭

😃👍 It’s an interesting color palette and I like the way it blends together. Thanks for sharing ✨🔭🌠🧪

M 45 - Pleiades, open star cluster in the constellation Taurus. Photographed on January 27 and 28, 2024. Telescope: TS-Photoline 102/714 + Reducer/Flattener x0.79 Camera: Omegon veTEC 571C, Gain 100, Offset 130. Filter: Optolong L-Pro, Total exposure time: 8h #Astrophotography

After two months of clouds, I finally got to spend a few nights under the stars again 😀🧪🔭✨ Messier 81 or Bode’s Nebula would be a little smaller than the moon and about half as tall, if it was bright enough. Right above is our youngest companion galaxy, the dwarf galaxy Holmberg IX.

M33 The Triangulum Galaxy captured from my dark site in southern France on New Years’s Day 🇫🇷😊🔭 It was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar at f/2 for a total integration time of about 3 hours, combining data from a L-Pro and a Baader Ha Highspeed filter. #Astrophotography

After months of clouds 🔭🤩 3rd night in a row ✨✨✨

Fantastic, Andreas. The structures are great! I particularly like the blue star formation areas. It's nice that you opted for a subtle colour palette 🤩 🧪🔭

Happy Halloween!🎃 Hier grüßen die "Geister der Kassiopeia" IC63 & IC59, die ich über 9 Nächte im September aufgenommen habe (Daten im Bild). Insgesamt sind es 11h 18min Belichtung geworden, die gespenstische Region könnte aber noch mehr vertragen. Wünsche allen einen schaurig-schönen Abend👻 #astro 🔭

👻🎃Happy Halloween, everyone🎃👻 These dusty ghosts roam around Cepheus, showing their little ones where to knock on heavens' door for 🍬 & 🎟️ The dust clouds are pretty faint. Manuel & I worked together to image them for over 21h. #Astrophotography #astrohour #space #Halloween 🔭🧪

Kurz vor dem Maximum der partiellen Mondfinsternis zogen die Wolken ab, hier also die ersten Schnappschüsse von vorhin: die Anfangsphase der Finsternis durch Wolken, ein Stack aus 23 Bildern kurz vor der maximalen Phase (22 Uhr) und zum Ende der Finsternis ein Halo um Mond & Jupiter. #astro 🔭

Why yes we did capture the annular eclipse. Photographed from Rio Rancho, New Mexico, by my husband Jeff Kanipe with a 600mm lens and solar filter.

Climate change is not only happening - it is accelerating year by year. Exponential curves tell us definitively that we need to hurry up and change the way we use our planet's resources. 🧪

🔭New JWST image processed by me: the observation of a lensed quasar, HE-0435-1223! The data was released today, and the lens is really beautiful 🤩 This observation is part of the 1198 proposal, lead by Dr. Massimo Stiavelli, with 4 filters: f115W, f150W, f277W, f356W.

SUPER exciting new frontier in the use of JWST NIRCam slitless spectroscopy to do kinematics at ridiculous redshifts 🤩. Been such a treat to watch Erica Nelson bring this paper to life. The future is slitless, and it is here 😏. arxiv.org/abs/2310.06887

The sunflower galaxy enchants with its beautifully structured active star-forming regions. But don't get too close to your screen: the black hole at its center contains the equivalent of 1 billion solar masses 😉 #Astrophotography #AstroHour #Space

Der kleine planetarische Nebel NGC 1501 im Sternbild Giraffe gefiel mir beim Beobachten mit dem Teleskop so gut, dass ich ihn mir auch gleich noch fotografisch vorgenommen habe. Dies ist das Ergebnis einer Nacht mit rund 2h 40min Belichtung durch den IDAS NB12-Filter. #astronomy #astrophotography

Messier 82 will become more visible in the night sky over the coming months. I acquired about 4 hours of one-shot color data so far and would like to go deeper in the coming season to get more details from the red spiral arms and the dust lanes. #Astrophotography #AstroHour #Space

Ein Hallo in den Himmel mit ein paar Astrofotos von mir: Den Hantelnebel M27, den Adlernebel um M16 & eine helle Perseide hab ich in den letzten Wochen aufgenommen, der Besuch von Komet Leonard beim Kugelsternhaufen M3 ist schon etwas länger her (techn. Details jeweils im Bild)

I had clear skies for a few nights in early September and was able to photograph this small emission nebula NGC 6820 from my garden. Using a Duo narrow band filter, I was able to expose for a total of 17 hours. #Astrophotography

Spent a weekend at the STATT astrocamp in the Harz mountains, Germany recently. If you are in the area, it’s definitely worth a stay. Pristine clear skies and really nice people. #Astrophotography #Space #Astrocamp
