Another of my recent images and a rare backyard capture, this is ~100hrs on the Veil Nebula complex, a large supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus Captured from my backyard with my Pleiades68 telescope #astrophotography

AstroBin's Image of the Day: "The Sapphire Diadem of Cassiopeia (SNR G126.2+01.6) and a new discovery" by Julien De Winter, Jonathan Hill, Nick Ambrose, Max Kuster, Joydeep Biswas and Jamie Moon www.astrobin.com/ndfht4/ #astrophotography

Been a bit lazy about posting here (and on editing images too tbh), so going to post some of my recent astrophotos that bluesky has missed. First up, this is a two-panel mosaic of Sh2 119, aka the Clamshell Nebula, captured in HOO with RGB stars with my Cat91 telescope #astrophotography

All this just to fall for the same shit they did last time this happened. Same old Dem party I guess

Catching up on editing some images. This is a cool region in the constellation Cygnus with two Wolf-Rayet stars, the ever-popular Crescent Nebula, aka NGC6888, in the top left and WR134 in the bottom right. Captured from Starfront Remote with my Cat91 telescope #astrophotography

Been a bit lazy about editing photos lately, but finally decided to finish one up. IC1318 - Sadr Region and the Butterfly in Cygnus Captured from Starfront Remote with my Cat91 telescope #astrophotography

Another quick project now that the weather is finally getting better. M8 and M20, the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae in LRGB. Dark skies and bright objects are basically a cheat code, making targets like this almost easy. Captured from Starfront Remote with my Cat91 telescope #astrophotography

Another from Starfront Observatories, part of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. 15hrs total exposure time, shot with Cat91 telescope and Player One Poseidon-M Pro camera. #astrophotography

It's finally reached the "oh god why does anyone live here" time of year in Kansas

A quick two-panel mosaic on the Blue Horsehead nebula, shot from Starfront Observatories About 10.5 total hours, shot with Cat91 telescope, Player One Poseidon-M camera, and Antlia LRGB filters #astrophotography

Been a slow spring for astro but I finally got around to finishing an image. 75hrs on Messier 83, a very tough target from the northern hemisphere as it is pretty low in the sky. #astrophotography

My latest from Starfront Remote Observatories, Sh2-284 The main object in this image, Sh2-284, is interesting object that reminds me of another Sharpless object, the Lion Nebula, with its distinctive separation between an Oiii heavy region and an Ha heavy region #astrophotography 🔭

Double Sunrise: Like headlights through the fog, a rare sight through the morning's murk and mire. The crescent tips of an eclipsed sun break the horizon simultaneously, giving the illusion of two rising. #solareclipse #doublesunrise #astrophotgrapghy #partialeclipse

just for the record, I have a zero-tolerance policy towards transphobia and if I see it in my mentions it's an instant block.

Last night's full moon, before the eclipse and during totality, plus a view of my telescope pointing at the blood moon #astrophotography (reposting because I can't spell)

Tonight's moon, getting ready for the eclipse tomorrow night #astrophotography

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I won a William Optics GT71 by getting 4th place in the William Optics astrophotography competition? Cuz I did that #astrophotography williamoptics.com/blogs/news/w...

Getting the GT71 ready for imaging but still waiting on the camera I ordered to ship, so hey, why not have a Moon pic #astrophotography 🔭

Keeping with the theme of "nebula that vaguely resemble animals", next up is the Seagull Nebula. This large emission nebula is in the constellation Monoceros and has several interesting features throughout, including a couple small planetary nebulae. #astrophotography 🔭

this encapsulates what all of this administration is about. they aren’t “accidentally” destroying departments. they are intentionally destroying the government so they can become the government. the only issue they have with the system is they don’t profit from it or control it

Been a slow February for #astrophotography, so I went back and reprocessed my Elephant Trunk data, this time in an HOO palette instead of the SHO palette I previously did 🔭

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

First image with the Cat91 from Starfront Observatories, and a target I've wanted to go after for a while now, this is Sh2 308, aka the Dolphin Head nebula. It is a bubble-like nebula surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star. #astrophotography 🔭

Another one from Starfront Observatories, and my last image with the RedCat51 + 533MM combo, this is the Jellyfish Nebula. The Jellyfish is an interesting case of a supernova remnant interacting with surrounding molecular clouds, giving it it's unique shape. #astrophotography 🔭

Michigan State mentioned

Another one from Starfront Remote Observatories, a widefield shot of Messier 81 and Messier 82, aka Bode's and Cigar Galaxies. Gravitational interaction between M81 and M82 gives M82 its unique look. The dust around them is what's known as IFN, or Integrated Flux Nebulae. 🔭 #astrophotography

My latest from Starfront Remote Observatories, 48hrs on Sh2-216 in HOO with RGB stars. It is large in appearance and is one of the closest planetary nebulae to us. Despite it's large apparent size, it is still fairly dim. 🔭 #astrophotography

Watched all of season 1 of Dandadan today and 1. it's peak 2. criminal that it's only 12 episodes

Obligatory yearly Messier 45 aka the Pleiades image. Roughly 17hrs LRGB, shot from Starfront Remote Observatories. This is going to be one of my last images taken with the RedCat51 + 533MM combo, as I'll soon have a new remote setup and a new sensor for my SpaceCat51 at home #astrophotography

ended up with 14" of snow. I have a detached garage. I also have a snow shovel. wanna guess where the shovel is?

What is she plotting

A quick project with the MiniCat51, a widefield shot of the Horsehead, Flame, and Orion nebulae (among others). One night of imaging totaling just over 7hrs, shot from the ASKC DSS with the WO MiniCat51 and ASI2600MC Duo #astrophotography 🔭

My latest from Starfront Remote Observatories, the dusty region around NGC1333. About 44hrs of LRGB and another 22hrs of Ha (which didn't really add much imo), captured with a RedCat51 telescope, ASI533MM Pro camera and Antlia HaLRGB filters #astrophotography 🔭

y'all ever just watch the 10 year re-release of Interstellar in IMAX and get introspective about how insignificant we are but also the indomitable human spirit?

Nothing drives home the inefficiency of cars quite like trying to get from the Vegas airport to your hotel on the strip

A recent Starfront Remote project and the companion to the Heart Nebula, this is the Soul Nebula. About 46hr total exposure time, shot with a RedCat51, ZWO ASI533MM Pro, and Antlia Ha/Oiii filters (RGB filters for the stars) #astrophotography 🔭

New William Optics RedCat91 got here a little earlier than expected! Plan is for it to replace the RC51 at the remote observatory, but first I'm going to put it through the paces at home 🔭

Another project with the MiniCat setup, a widefield shot of the Flaming Star and Tadpoles Nebulae. Captured from a combination of my backyard and the ASKC Dark Sky Site, about 31hrs total. #astrophotography 🔭

First light with for the MiniCat51! I paired it with the ZWO ASI2600MC Duo to make for a super compact widefield rig. I couldn't pass up capturing the Veil Nebula with it before it leaves until next year. #astrophotography 🔭

Pretty space pictures

Next up from Starfront, a bit of a more obscure target. There's a lot going on in this part of the sky, with some reflection nebulae, some dark nebulae, and some Ha signal to boot. Shot with a RedCat51, ZWO ASI533MM Pro, and Anltia HaLRGB filters #astrophotography 🔭

Another one from Starfront Remote Observatories, this is Sh2-129 and OU4, aka the Flying Bat and Squid Nebulae. A very difficult target as the Oiii signal from the Squid is extremely faint. Just under 60hrs total, with almost 40hrs of that on just Oiii #astrophotography 🔭

My longest project yet, a little over 100hrs total on Andromeda. 62.5h LRGB and another 39.5h on Ha. Shot from Starfront Remote Observatories with a RedCat51, ASI533MM Pro, and Antlia HaLRGB filters. #astrophotography 🔭

Sh2-190, aka the Heart Nebula (for maybe obvious reasons). This was a "short" target for me from the remote observatory, with only 40hrs on it. Shot from Starfront Remote Observatories (remote is cheating I guess??) with a RedCat51, ASI533MM Pro, and Antlia Ha/Oiii filters #astrophotography 🔭

Mail day! Managed to get the first wave of the new William Optics MiniCat51. Excited to try this, planning for it to be my new travel scope 🔭 #astrophotography

Next up from the remote observatory, the Lobster Claw and Bubble Nebulae. Kind of lost track of how much time I spent on SII so ended up with about 77hr total with over 30hr of that on just SII. Shot with RedCat51, ASI533MM, and Antlia 4.5nm SHO filters #astrophotography 🔭

Neat

Another project from Starfront Observatories, IC 1396 Elephant's Trunk Nebula. Didn't originally plan on going so long on the acquisition but things happened and I ended up with 80hrs. Shot with RedCat51, ZWO ASI533MM Pro, and Antlia EDGE 4.5nm SHO and RGB filters #astrophotography 🔭
