AstroBin's Image of the Day: "New moon 3% at sunset 20/01/2026" by Łukasz Żak www.astrobin.com/z7w63a/ #astrophotography

Thought I would check this out this year. Lots of great speakers --> I'm attending this event. RT if you think others will find this helpful 🙌 2026.nightphotosummit.com

ic405 - The Flaming Star Nebula. I had fun framing it this way - It reminds me of a dragon. See it? HaRGB palette with about 8.5 hours worth of exposure time. Wide distribution of filters for each exposure group. Details are in the alt text. #astrophotography 🔭📷 Astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/rnd6qp

At 5.15pm GMT today, the Earth will be at perihelion, the closest point to the Sun in our annual round. This should be the start of the year. Happy new orbit, everyone!

My newest one piece animatic is out on my youtube now! it's focused on Zoro and Sanji :D #art #onepiece #zosan youtu.be/l_EAi9m6sTE

Here is one of my favorite visual objects, and makes a great astrophotography target too. Having a few names - The Owl Cluster, Dragonfly Cluster or ET Cluster, NGC 457 makes a great view in any size telescope. Details: 30 x 120s RGB, Stellarvue SVX102T Refractor, ASI2600MM. #astrophotography 🔭📷

So how late in the the year do we need to get to negotiate healthcare? The Dems have this angle @GOP. We are now at November for 2026 topics. Cmon, bend my little bendies! #shutdown

The First Day of #KopernikAstroFest is in the books, and a great time! Join us for Day #2 tomorrow 10/4. Looking like more clear skies again! kopernikastro.org/astrofest/ #astronomy Day #2 live cast - www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zgT...

Just one more day til #KopernikAstroFest, and it's looking like clear skies! Join The Kopernik Astronomical Society for a celebration of #astronomy. kopernikastro.org/astrofest/. October 3rd - 4th! 🔭 Day #1 (October 3rd) Live Link for you Youtube Virtual Attendees: www.youtube.com/watch?v=56fF...

It is that time of year again!!!! #KopernikAstroFest. Come join us for the celebration of astronomy and the night sky! kopernikastro.org/astrofest/. October 3rd - 4th!!! #astronomy 🔭

I missed this recently, but NASA & ESA recently announced they discovered the 6000th exoplanet confirmation. That seems amazing to me, and it was just yesterday there were 10. Very abundant indeed. The imagination runs wild with this. www.nasa.gov/universe/exo...

Pregaming the Black Forest Star Party at Cherry Springs State Park, PA, and making huge progress on my target list. I need a bigger list... 😂. #starparty #astronony #visualobserving

Rest in peace Ben of the Narrowband Channel. Thank you for sharing your love of #Astrophotography.

Here's what I worked on this weekend. The Summer Southern Milky Way! Using Canon R6, 70mm Zoom Lens @f/5.6, ISO 6400. A stack of 45sx10 frames, tracked on a Sky Guider. The data was captured at Cherry Springs State Park on 8/26. #astrophotography #astronomy #milkyway 🔭📷🌌 #stilllearning

Here is a wide field shot I took at Cherry Springs Star Party back in June. Just getting around to processing it. Shows a lot of the dynamic of a star party... Canon Ra mirrorless, f2.8,15s, ISO 6400. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭📷🌌

A timelapse of last night's #NoctilucentClouds display as seen from North Yorkshire. This covers about 15 minutes in real time. #Noctilucent #NLC #NoctilucentCloud #StormHour #PhotoHour

Citizen scientists help find exploding star. 🔭 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, but I’ve been working on a project. After 65 hours of integration, my largest and longest astro image to date is finally complete. This is a 4-panel mosaic of the Fighting Dragons of Ara 🐉🔥 #Astrophotography #nebula #NGC6188 #FightingDragonsOfAra #tasmania

10 years ago tonight I was capturing a Waxing Gibbous Moon. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

Grab the antihistamines. The dark seahorse nebula, Fireworks Galaxy, and an open star cluster (lower left), all squattin’ in a large field of molecular dust. Taken with my Takahashi Epsilon in SW New Mexico and processed by me in central Virginia. Giddyup. #astrophotography #photography

It doesn't get much better than a Cherry Springs Sunset on a clear night. The anticipation just adds to the dark sky effect of that park.

I was hoping to be more prolific during galaxy season but the weather has not cooperated. I did get an LRGB capture of NGC 3817 & NGC 3829 through my 8” SCT at f/10. I need more L data to bring out the tidal halo better but it’s a good start.🔭 #Astrophotography

Looking forward to this year's #CherrySpringsStarParty #CSSP2025 I came a day early to work out the kinks on my new astro-camper. Had a rainstorm, but was able to do some binoculars observing in the sucker holes that passed through with the clouds! Ready to go! Bring on those clear skies. #astronomy

AstroBin's Image of the Day: "NGC 6726 | Close-up on the Head of the Anteater" by Kevin Morefield www.astrobin.com/lgmn4h/ #astrophotography

The Bubble Nebula NGC 7635 in the constellation Cassiopeia at a distance of 7100 light years. The bubble is created by a hot young star causing the surrounding gasses to glow. This is a multi-spectral narrow band photograph where Hydrogen are reds, and Oxygen are blues. #astronomy #astrophotography

Sadly tonight, clouds are rolling in and hiding a perfectly wonderful Aurora display (Kp=7). But alas, I can still see some color through the clouds... 🔭📷 #astrophotography

On vacation and have not processed full data sets yet, but had a great night! Some #SeeStar and ASIAir/Redcat action going on here. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭📷

AstroBin's Image of the Day: "Mars in 2025" by Tom Williams www.astrobin.com/zts2f5/ #astrophotography

Last May the Waxing Gibbous Moon was in front of my telescope. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

That slightly blue patch just below m81? PGC28757 (Holmberg IX)

Some m81/82 data that I'm working on. I gathered about 14 hours of data from many scopes and many sessions over the years. I should have been pickier about grabbing sharper data, and what is that odd blue flare there below m81? Well fun project for the day either way. #astrophotography 🔭 📷

Dear Weather, Please understand I appreciate the hard work you do. I greatly enjoy tinkering with #astronomy gear on cloudy/rainy days, but I'm about out of gear to tinker with after the past few months. It's time for me to use the gear, and I know you can help a guy out. Please? Thanks! 🌌

The Blue Horsehead is an exciting astrophotography target, and you can start viewing/capturing it right now! It lies near the top of the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex. 🎯 #astronomy #astrophotography

I've been to two of these ...going to need to hit them all! #amateurastronomy #astronomy www.forbes.com/sites/jamiec...

I had a fun day of working on the Kopernik Observatory 20" telescope today. We've had a configuration issue that has prevented the German Flip of the scope. Great support from the friendly folks at Astrometric Instruments! It has been a while since we saw this working properly. #astronomy #telescope

Haha love this!

Great fun playing with the #lunareclipse tonight. Getting tired and can't wait to play with my data tomorrow! #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭📷

Doing some more "staying warm observing" with the SeeStar tonight. Moon, m63 and m101. These were processed on my phone only using android software and SeeStar software. #astrophotography 🔭

Welcome Jim!!! Great to bump into you here. #astrophotograohy 🔭📷

For the astrophotographers out there. Check out this new publication. #astrophotography #stars #photography publuu.com/flip-book/75...?

I'm truly looking forward to the results of this mission. Nice to see things progressing!!! #Space #SolarSystem #astronomy 🔭 🧪

It's been a super busy week so I'm finally getting around to processing some images that I've been hitting over multiple clear sky nights. This one is the Medusa nebula and it's actually a planetary nebula but again has nothing to do with planets but was formed by a PG 1159 star. #astrophotography

The 'Boogeyman' Nebula 📸 My latest deep-sky image is a stunning Dark Nebula in the constellation Orion. This image includes exactly 10 hours of total exposure time! This is such a beautiful area of the night sky, with Barnards Loop separating the Boogeyman and the nearby reflection nebula, M78.

My #Seestar S50 braved the cold for me the other night, and 20 minutes on M42 had a good result. #astrophotography 🔭📷
