The Sun squeezed out some residual rain from the skies after a weekend of monsoon storms 🌦 #landscape #photography

From my hike this morning 🌥 #sunrise #photography

M31 Andromeda Galaxy Checking in on M31 at 16 hours integration. When the skies clear I'm hoping to start capturing M33 for as much time. #astrophotography #M31

Moments before the Sun rose over storm clouds today. #sunrise #photography

My hiking season is officially underway!

M31 Andromeda Galaxy My first time shooting M31 after missing it last year. I'll be recording its satellite galaxies M110-M32 this season also. 🔭 #astrophotography #M31

M8 Lagoon Nebula I targeted M8 a couple more nights last week so I could give my favorite nebula a final farewell 🔭 #astrophotography #M8

NGC1232 Galaxy Working on ngc5907 had me in the mood to reprocess a grand design spiral from last Spring. #astrophotography #ngc1232

NGC5907 Galaxy This edge-on galaxy has a beautiful halo to process, thanks to its stellar streams visible at longer exposures. 🔭 #astrophotography #ngc5907

M2 Star Cluster One of the biggest and oldest globular clusters in our galaxy at about 13 billion years old 🫨 🔭 #astrophotography #M2

NGC6826 Blinking Nebula My final planetary nebula in this series. I'm looking forward to some galaxy and cluster projects to finish the month with. 🔭 #astrophotography #ngc6826

NGC6543 Cat's Eye Nebula A planetary nebula 3x further away than the Dumbbell. Also galaxy NGC6552 making an appearance to the right. 🔭 #astrophotography #ngc6543

M57 Ring Nebula Another planetary nebula, about twice the distance from us compared to the Dumbbell Nebula. 🔭 #astrophotography #M57

M27 Dumbbell Nebula A vibrant planetary nebula big enough to view through binoculars 🔭 #astrophotography #M27

Massive lightning storm going on tonight. #Monsoon

M22 Globular Star Cluster Almost forgot this cluster from my Teapot Collection. It's definitely worth trying to see with binoculars a month ago. 🔭 #astrophotography #M22

M20 Trifid Nebula Rounding out the Teapot Collection from my last batch of nebula targets. Current targets are Dumbbell-Iris and the skies are projected clear 🕺 🔭 #astrophotography #M20

M16 Eagle Nebula Kind of disappointed with only 2 hours of capture time over the entire 2 months this was out, but I'm happy with my final edit. 🔭 #astrophotography #M16

The Moon I love seeing the Moon's highlights during the late waxing gibbous phase 🌔 🔭 #moonhour #moon

The Sun Will there be an X flare in the coming days... 🫣 It's fun photographing lead-ups to potential big ones 🔭 #Sun #SolarPhotography

M8 Lagoon Nebula I think I'll finish with M8 on this edit for the season 🔭 #astrophotography #M8

M17 Omega Nebula Finally got around to more filming and a new star processing method 🧏‍♂️ 🔭 #astrophotography #M17

M33 Triangulum Galaxy Reprocessed my M33 data from last season. 🔭 #astrophotography #M33

M94 Galaxy Also from June's preview session 🔭 #astrophotography #M94

M4 Globular Star Cluster The closest globular cluster to our solar system with over 100,000 stars 🔭 #astrophotography #M4

M16 The Eagle Nebula Rounding out my preview captures from June. I do want to get several hours additional on each nebula once the skies clear and do a proper luminance channel. 🔭 #astrophotography #M16

M8 The Lagoon Nebula What an absolute beauty it is; easily in my top 3 fav targets this summer 🔭 #astrophotography #M8

M20 Trifid Nebula Space clouds 💙 🔭 #astrophotography #M20

M17 Omega Nebula The monsoons are preventing captures all month, so I'm going to start processing my preview data on the nebulas from June. 🔭 #astrophotography #M17

M101 Pinwheel Galaxy Marking an end to my galaxy captures for the season 🔭 #astrophotography #M101

M51 Whirlpool Galaxy Decided to finish M51 before I focus on several nebula targets this month. 🔭 #astrophotography #M51 Have a great 4th! 🎆

M3 Star Cluster 🔭 #M3

M13 Star Cluster Same cluster, corrected name. #M13

M53 Star Cluster A globular cluster in the outskirts of the Milky Way. 🔭 #astrophotography #M53

M81 Bode's Galaxy 🔭 #astrophotography #M81

M63 Sunflower Galaxy The Sunflower provided good practice creating synthetic HA. 🔭 #astrophotography #M63

M64 Black Eye Galaxy I had a pretty lucky capture streak with clear skies last week; looking forward to a couple more edits during coffee this weekend ☕️ 🔭 #astrophotography #M64

M52 Open Star Cluster 🔭 #M52

NGC891 Galaxy My edge-on galaxy from Andromeda season. 🔭 #astrophotography #NGC891

NGC278 Galaxy Star practice with a baby spiral galaxy in the center. 🔭 #astrophotography #NGC278

NGC1232 Galaxy Re-processing some January galaxies while I collect fresh data. My goal for this series is to practice better star reduction. 🔭 #astrophotography #NGC1232

NGC2403 Galaxy My final single-night galaxy captures from last winter. I loved 2403 for looking like a mini Triangulum, even though it's 1/3rd larger in diameter than M33. 🔭 #astrophotography #NGC2403

NGC1023 Galaxy While doing some project research, I was shook to find this dust cloud I was stretching on the north side is actually a satellite galaxy, 1023a 🧏‍♂️ 🔭 #astrophotography #NGC1023

M106 Galaxy I had a short 12 minutes with this galaxy last February before Cloudageddon. 🔭 #astrophotography #M106

M46 - Exiting the Wormhole You are arriving at your destination shortly- an open star cluster of over 500 stars. 🔭 #astrophotography #M46

M65 - M66 Galaxies The rest of the Leo Triplet combo meal. 🔭 #astrophotography #M66 #M65

NGC3628 Hamburger Galaxy Until I learn stitching, my Leo Triplet will be a burger with a side of M65-M66. 🔭 #astrophotography #NGC3628

Region 4079 on the Sun has been pretty popular recently. It has 32 active sunspots and is roughly the size of Jupiter. #sunspots #sun

M79 Globular Cluster This star cluster is believed to be native to the nearby Canis Major dwarf galaxy 🌈 🔭 #astrophotography #M79

M1 Crab Nebula I don't think the Odyssey can handle M1 too well, but it's still fun seeing the single session fuzzball take some shape after processing. 🔭 #astrophotography #M1
