Not much in the way of astrophotography lately, but did capture some rocket launches and capsule reentries ✨🚀 #rocket #photography

SpaceX Falcon 9 takes to the skies with NROL-57 from Vandenberg AFB 🚀🔭

I really appreciate the response on this one, as you can see I went through some trials and tribulations to get the shot! 🔭

HDR composite of last week’s lunar eclipse. Not my favorite work ever, but it is technically art, so i’m sharing regardless. #astrophotography 🔭

Our moon emerging from our shadow! #astrophotography 🔭

The wing of the Falcon. 🚀 #photograhy #rocket

Lunar occultation of Mars 🌕🔭 January 13, 2025 #astronomy #astrophotography

merry christmas everyone! don’t forget to hold your family close.

When i don’t have access to a computer for scripting, i like to use this retro game console to do simple math:

Between finals I’ve been starting to work on a photorealistic lens flare based on photography from space. Here’s a test render: #blender 🔭

how’s everyone doing today? lovely week for calculus and physics finals

Test render for an upcoming animation #blender #b3d 🔭

Lunar transit This render is based off the famous image from NASA’s DSCVR EPIC camera, taken from a million miles away, with visible offset in the RGB channels on the moon. This is due to the moon’s motion. #blender #b3d 🔭

Sunrise on Mars #blenderartists #b3d

Candle in the Dark Based on NASA photojournal image PIA08235, this render shows Titan’s atmospheric glow behind Saturn’s rings, with Enceladus peeking from the lower right. Original image processed by the Cassini imaging team. #blender #b3d

Sunrise from orbit #blender #b3d 🔭

Nominal Mars orbit insertion #blender #b3d

Cassini’s Huygens lander on Titan’s surface. This was a commission for a group I’m affiliated with to turn into a poster. #blender #b3d 🔭

Dreaming of home #blender #b3d 🔭

Earthrise, based on one of the most iconic images of all time #blender #b3d 🔭

Mare Orientale, 2566 A.D. #blender #b3d

Phobos and Deimos, 2349 A.D. #blender #b3d 🔭

A Desert in Bloom #blender #b3d

Unofficial name “Poppies where they shouldn’t be” #blender #b3d

GIS render of Lake Balkhash, Kazakhstan. #blender #b3d

Earth test render #blender #b3d

Render of Skylab based on that one popular image #blender #b3d

Cassini speeding by Saturn and mighty Titan #blender #b3d 🔭

Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io against a white background #blender #b3d 🔭

Plumes on Enceladus Based on NASA photojournal image PIA19061, this render shows water ice plumes on Enceladus’ poles, ejecting through geysers into space. #blender #b3d #astronomy

Enceladus, as seen by Cassini in October of 2008. #blender #b3d

Fire and Ice This is a rudimentary and inexperienced render based on NASA photojournal image PIA17174. #blender #b3d

Cassini approaching Saturn #blender #b3d

I hope you guys like 3d space art, because I have a LOT to share #blender #b3d

A storm at sunset. #photography

Happy thanksgiving everyone!!

M16, the Eagle Nebula, in Hydrogen alpha #astrophotography 🔭

Solar eclipse panorama collage I made this as an entry for the San Diego County Fair photography exhibition. It’s one of the ones that was rejected in favor of others. #astrophotography 🔭

Diamond Ring. #astrophotography 🔭

Totality, Mk.2 AKA my profile picture for everything now #astrophotography 🔭

So this AI nonsense showed up in my discovery feed. A thread on how to avoid AI-generated slop and mislabeled/misattributed/unattributed images and find real space images and astronomy content on Bluesky. 🔭

Totality! April 8, 2024 #astrophotography 🔭

First contact. April 8, 2024 #astrophotography 🔭

March 2024’s full moon between the sunlit clouds. #astrophotography 🔭

Here is a video I made that loops between the Ha and Oiii emissions from the Orion Nebula. It is quite interesting to see how each filter leaves behind a set of filaments to make way for the other, and how it completely ignores the other wavelength. #astrophotography 🔭

The North American Nebula and the Cygnus Wall - Ha and Oiii 1hr Ha and 2hrs Oiii. I feel proud of how this turned out given the short integration time! #astrophotography 🔭

The Great Orion Nebula - M42 Imaged here in Ha and Oiii. Details in thread. #astrophotography 🔭

data looking real smooth for this!

BOOOO NOOOO BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK!!! This image is fake. Let’s not let fake science accounts thrive on Bluesky!!!

Prenumbral Lunar Eclipse, March 2024. This was the lunar eclipse on the dawn of the April 8 solar eclipse. #astrophotography 🔭
