SH2-114 The Flying Dragon Nebula captured from my dark site in southern France this month 🇫🇷 😊🔭 It was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a total integration time of about 11 hours in mono using Ha and SII filters and combined with OSC stars. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social‬

NGC 6946 (The Fireworks Galaxy) is a bright spiral galaxy in the constellation Cepheus. NGC 6946 was nicknamed the Fireworks Galaxy because it has hosted 10 supernovae over the last century, which is more than any other known galaxy. #Astrophotography #seestar #NGC6946 @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

This image shows NGC 6992, the Eastern Veil Nebula, a bright arc of the larger Veil Nebula complex in Cygnus. It is the remnant of a massive star that exploded as a supernova between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

The young Pleiades in all their glory, which I managed to shoot two nights ago using my backyard #Astrophotography 🔭📷 setup. I made a bad attempt at fitting a 100My isochrone over my poorly calibrated data to show this...don't try this at home kids 😇. @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social, what do you see?

NGC6960 is a bright filament of the Veil Nebula supernova remnant in Cygnus. This frame captures the complex, filamentary arcs of ionised gas — oxygen atoms glowing blue-green and hydrogen shining red — shaped by the expanding shock front. #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

This is the Lagoon Nebula, a massive cloud of gas and dust where new stars are born. This shot reveals the dark dust lanes and glowing regions of hydrogen and oxygen that give it such a dramatic look. It is 4,000 light years away! #astronomy #astrophotography #space @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

The Snowglobe Nebula (NGC6781) is a beautiful and rather bright planetary nebula in the constellation Aquila. It is also visually a nice object. In August, I photographed it with an ASI294mc Pro through my C8 with a total exposure time of 5 hours. #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

This image showcases NGC 1788, the Cosmic Bat Nebula, together with the faint dusty emission region LBN 923. Both lie on the western side of Orion’s giant molecular cloud complex, roughly 1,300 light years away. #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

🔭 M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years and has brightness of magnitude 7.5. #Astrophotography #seestar #M27 @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

This wizard nebula was just a session for calibration, during a cloudy night. Calibration in H-alpha seems to be nice :) @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social , do you see stars with a vertical sky shoot ? :)

The Crescent Nebula, 5,000 light years away in Cygnus, was formed by powerful winds from a dying massive star. Its glowing filaments show the beauty and chaos of a star nearing the end of its life. @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social #astronomy #astrophotography #space #universe

The Bubble Nebula, located about 7,100 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia, is a cosmic masterpiece shaped by the powerful stellar winds of a massive star at its center. #astrophotography #astronomy #universe @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Two Sharpless nebulae in Cygnus @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

🔭 NGC6990 - The Western Veil Nebula is part of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. 😀 #Astrophotography #seestar #ngc6990 @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

NGC362 is a globular cluster about 27,000 ly from Earth. It is relatively young cluster and is also unusually metal-rich for a halo cluster, suggesting it may have originated in a dwarf galaxy that was later accreted into the Milky Way. #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

NGC6397 is a 13.4 billion year old globular cluster about 7,800 ly from Earth. The cluster contains hundreds of thousands of low-metallicity Population II stars, including many faint red dwarfs and white dwarfs #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

🔭 NGC6992 - The Eastern Veil Nebula is part of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. #Astrophotography #seestar #NGC6992 @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

WR 134 captured from my patio on 14 nights in July & August 😊🔭 This nebula around the star WR 134 was shot on the EdgeHD 8 for a total integration time of 58 h in mono with Ha and OIII narrowband filters and merged with RGB stars. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social‬ what do you see?

After 2 sessions, I started to stack the signal of IC63 / SH2-185. 👉 4h in Ha/Oiii 👉 2.33h in RGB (new moon) I hope I could get more signal with clear skies and if camera is ok too with it 😅 #astronomy #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

The Corona Australis molecular cloud complex is an active star-forming region about 420 light years from Earth. Spanning over 10lys, the complex contains filaments of molecular hydrogen and cold dust, giving rise to the striking dark nebulae seen here. #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Just when you thought the 80s were gone Pac Man is still out here chomping away only now it is in space. This shot is of the Pac Man Nebula a deep space cloud of gas and stars 9200 light years away that just happens to look like the arcade legend. @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social #astronomy #science

Here is my first attempt at a false Hubble palette of the Rosette Nebula. In this style the colors are symbolic rather than natural, with oxygen shown in blue, hydrogen in green, and sulfur in red. When combined, hydrogen and sulfur form the golden tones #astronomy @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) in Cassiopeia was my first target with the new ASI294mc Pro camera. In total, I accumulated a good 8.5 hours of exposure time over 8 nights from our terrasse and am really happy with the result (techn. details in picture) #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

The Andromeda Galaxy, our closest spiral neighbor, shines from 2.5 million light years away. Home to about a trillion stars, it offers a glimpse of what lies just beyond the Milky Way. 7 hrs of data. Siril, Graxpert and LR. @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social #astronomy #astrophotography #space

Dust, ionized hydrogen, galaxies, stars in this picture of SH2-126 I shot from my backyard over the last two nights. #Astrophotography 🔭📷. In the the starless mono version on the right, each speck is a far, far away galaxy. Where's this @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

The Witches Broom Nebula is a beautiful remnant of a massive star that exploded thousands of years ago. It lies in the constellation Cygnus about 2,400 light years away. The delicate threads of glowing gas stretch across space like strands of a cosmic broom. #astronomy @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Our closest spiral galaxy neighbor, sitting about 2.5 million light years away. Captured with my Seestar S30 telescope and processed in Siril, Graxpert and Lightroom. This is 3.5 hrs of data and I will continue to add to it. #astronomy #space #universe #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

This is my RGB stars from my M27 after StarX. I really think this image stands up by itself without the Nebula. Cheers! Doug #astrophotography #stars @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social
