A couple of iPhone shots from an impromptu imaging session at our club’s observatory. Clear skies broke out on a holiday weekend. #astrophotography

Beautiful night tonight (of course it is clear on Sunday night) and I tried out my iPhone 16 pro from my drive way. Wow! Single 30 sec exposure on a tripod. I’m sure the phone is doing some AI processing. I did save the file in Raw format. #iphonemilkyway #astrophotography

A wide-field look into the Sadr region of Cygnus. Lots of Milky Way goodness in this frame. Swipe to view the image without stars. More details in this Blog post: Exploring the Sadr Region: Backyard Astrophotography of Cygnus’ Celestial Wonders #Space #Astrophotography #nebulae #Cygnus

8,000 years ago a star 20x’s more massive than our Sun went Kaboom. This left behind this beautiful supernova remnant known as The Cygnus Loop or Veil Nebula. Swipe to view the image without stars. More details in this blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/07/wide... #Space #Astrophotography

This time with the photo. Here’s a wide field photo of The North America Nebula, Pelican Nebula, and surrounding nebulosity. Can you find Deadpool’s Head? More details in this Blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/07/nort... #Space #Astrophotography #nebulae

Cr 399 - The Coathanger Asterism. This wide field photo was captured from my backyard on 6/23/2025. This object is a great to observe with binoculars (no fancy equipment required). More details in this Blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/07/cr-3... #space #astrophotography

Some Celestial Fireworks just in time for the Independence Day holiday in the US. NGC 6946, The Fireworks Galaxy captured at our club’s observatory on 6/22/25 with the 14” Edge HD. Details in this blog: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/07/ngc-... #astrophotography #space #celestron #fireworksgalaxy

First light with my Askar FMA180 rig. IC 1396 - The Elephant Trunk Nebula captured on 5/11/2025 from my backyard. More details in this blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/05/firs... #astronomy #astrophotography #nebulae #askarfma180pro

Messier 109 (M109) captured on 4/23/2025 from our club’s observatory by our imaging group. This is my processing of the data. More details in this Blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/05/m109... #space #astronomy #astrophotography

Imaged the Leo Triplet Tuesday 4/22. A very well known, large, and bright Main-belt asteroid, 8 Flora, was in my data. Processed image in comments. More details in my blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/04/a-tr... #astronomy #space #astrophotography #asteroid #8flora

Super stoked! Asteroid 8 Flora photobombed my image of the Leo Triplet. Here’s a quick GIF of the 1st and last frames, cropped and annotated. #astrophotography

Last time our Great Niece was here, she enjoyed playing with one of the dog’s toys (a squeezable mini soccer ball). My wife and mother-in-law come home from shopping with 3 more just for her to play with when she visits. Now, how do I get her into astrophotography? 😀#astrophotography

At NEAIC 2025 I presented a talk on automating WBPP in PixInsight using the event script. You can now watch Part 1 on YouTube — how to trigger Telegram notifications, copy frames, and more. Code & docs included. Watch: youtu.be/Xd097a8Zlxg #PixInsight #Astrophotography

Sunny Saturday Sunspots! #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.bsky.social @photohour.bsky.social

642 - the number of galaxies in this image of the Markarian's Chain neighborhood! Imaged from the driveway last week with the William Optics GT-81 refractor. More image details on my Astrobin page at app.astrobin.com/i/1lkrwb. #astrophotography #astronomy

Decided to image M106 while learning how to use my Meade 8" SCT. The 2000mm focal length makes focus and guiding much more challenging. It will take time to master but the final image shows the potential of the scope. 160, 1-min exposures in LRGB + 40 2-min in Ha. #astrophotography

Here’s my latest blog post, Building a “Super” Wide-Field Imaging Rig. Haven’t had many opportunities to image the last few months. This project has been keeping me busy. astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/04/buil... #astrophotography #telescopes

My latest blog post on last week’s Lunar Eclipse. A short one. Hopefully weather improves and I get some imaging time. astronomy716.blogspot.com/2025/03/marc... #astrophotography #lunareclipse #astro716

A most pleasant and unexpected surprise. Some mild Aurora at our club’s observatory tonight. #astrophotography #aurora

Here’s a shot from the Lunar Eclipse earlier this week. No editing. Straight off the camera. Canon T6i, 80 mm Refractor (480 mm FL), on a fixed tripod. #astrophotography #March14LunarEclipse

Tonight’s Moon. #astrophotography #Moon #smartphoneastrophotography

The weather has been so bad for so long, I’m playing with old data. Never was happy with where I got to with this one from September. Played with some new scripts in PixInsight after attending the most recent Masters of PixInsight class. Thoughts?

My Year in Astrophotography Part 2 of 2. Wishing everyone clear skies in 2025! Blog Post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2024/12/vide... #astronomy #space #astrophotography #YearInReview

Here’s a look back at my year in astrophotography. Part 1 of 2. Longer than 60 seconds so you can view it in this Blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2024/12/my-y... #space #astronomy #astrophotography #yearinreview

Simply look up to find Jupiter in the eastern evening sky. To the naked eye the distant gas giant planet looks like a very bright "white star". Or use a telescope to also view Jupiter's cloud bands, its four brightest moons, and the Great Red Spot. The Evening Sky Map (PDF): skymaps.com/tesm/

Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, reaches opposition at 21h UT on 7 Dec 2024. This is the point in time when Jupiter is at its closest to Earth, and hence appears at its brightest (mag. −2.8) and most spectacular in a telescope 🔭 #stargazing #astronomy

Highly recommend this feed and astrophotography

This image of NGC 7635 (Bubble Nebula) was captured at Buffalo Astronoimical Association’s observatory by our imaging group using the club’s 14” telescope. This is my process of the data. More details in this blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2024/11/ngc-... #astronomy #astrophotography #space

My image of M8 & M20 is up for image of the year at AstroWorld TV. Would definitely appreciate your vote. You can vote here: astroworldweb.com/image-of-the... Voting is open until 12/6. You can only vote once.

Work in-process. Any thoughts or preference to one version or the other. NGC 7635 with 14” Edge HD. #astrophotography

@bot.astronomy.blue signup Here’s an image we captured at our astronomy club’s observatory on 10/7. More details in this blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2024/10/ngc-... #astronomy #astrophotography #space
