Wow.

The galaxy NGC 1566 in Dorado. Always a beauty to photograph. 69,000,000 light years away. The light from the hundreds of billions of stars in this galaxy had travelled for almost 70 million years before reaching my telescope. I know, right. February 15th 2026 #astrophotography

NGC 3581-2, a beautiful emission nebula in a rich star field in Carina. 9,000 light years away. February 15th 2026 #astrophotography

Happy 50th birthday to the best album ever 🎉 #Genesis

International Space Station passing over Melbourne, February 6th 2026. 30 second exposures. There are currently seven people on board the ISS, six men and one woman. 420 kilometres or so above the Earth, travelling at 27,000 kilometres per hour and orbiting once every 90 minutes.

Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), February 6th 2026. What a beauty of the southern sky. Experimenting with exposures, image stacking and processing because I am a massive nerd. Carina Nebula is 8,500 light years away. #astrophotography

A waning gibbous Moon, 85% illuminated. 12.30am, February 6th 2026. Three men and one woman will travel around the Moon within the next month, tech and weather permitting, on @nasaartemis #astrophotography

Full Moon, February 2nd 2026. It's a bit past full, with some shadow appearing on the left limb. Currently 373,922 kilometres away. The next Full Moon on Tuesday March 3rd will be accompanied by a total lunar eclipse, beginning at 10.00pm AEDT. #astrophotography

Milky Way near the Carina Nebula. Hundreds of stars and massive swathes of gas and dust, light years across. January 26th 2026 #astrophotography

Betelgeuse or α Orionis, a red supergiant star in Orion, 500 light years away. With its radius being 700 times that of the Sun, it would engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars if it was at the centre of our solar system. January 26th 2026 #astrophotography

Jewel Box Cluster in the Southern Cross, very pretty and 6,500 light years away. Filled with supergiant stars. January 26th 2026 #astrophotography

Orion Nebula, January 23rd 2026 #astrophotography

The massive spiral galaxy NGC 2613 in Pyxis. Almost edge-on to our line of sight. 78,000,000 light years away, and measuring almost 200,000 light years across. I know, right. #astrophotography

NGC 2359, aka Thor's Helmet Nebula in Canis Major. Very far away (12,000 light years) and very large (30 light years across). We see it behind a veil of stars. January 23rd 2026 #astrophotography

The glorious Carina Nebula. Composite of two images, each made of fifteen eight second exposures. The blue object at the top includes the Keyhole and Homunculus Nebulae. January 23rd 2026 #astrophotography

NGC 1566, the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy in Dorado. A beautiful face-on spiral galaxy, 69,000,000 light years away. The bright star at bottom left is γ Doradus. January 21st 2026 #astrophotography

Carina Nebula, January 18th 2026 #astrophotography

The double star θ Tauri, which can be seen with the naked eye (an optical double). The one on the left is θ Tauri A, a white giant star, separated from θ Tauri B, an orange giant, by five light years. Each star is itself a double star. January 17th 2026 #astrophotography

σ Orionis, a multiple star system in Orion. From top to bottom are the stars σ Orionis C, AB (the brightest), D and E. The distance between AB and C is 130 times the distance between our Sun and Neptune. The system as a whole is 1,000 light years away. January 6th 2026 #astrophotography

Pleiades, January 6th 2026. Blue nebulosity surrounds the stars, which are relatively young at only 100,000,000 years old. January 6th 2026 #astrophotography

Beautiful summer sunset, January 3rd 2026 #sunsets

Moon, January 1st 2026. 95% illuminated, and two days until full Moon. Crater Tycho is prominent, with its ejecta rays spread out for up to 1,500 kilometres. *They* (the lunar geologists) think Tycho is a youngish crater, having been formed only 100,000,000 years ago. #astrophotography
