Been working for quite some time to get a shot like this one. Loads to luck and planning after an utter failure the previous night. Can finally check this off the list. Captured Cygnus over our holiday rental last night. #astrophotography #space #milkyway

I'm looking for help from the astrophotography community with help developing an accessibility script (in pixinsight) for users with color blindness/CVD. The script is designed to assist in visualizing gradients easier to help in processing. If you know anyone. I need testers. @me #astrophotography

Got a great start on this painting today, loved seeing so many people show up for a Friday of Space Art. Thank you so much. I’ll continue this one and get into the details, correct some shapes, and get this looking like it’s racing off the screen. Definitely needs some pew-pew bits too

🧵 Here is Earth's rotation realized in an unusual way: using a camera scanning the landscape of Tivoli, Namibia, Bartosz Wojczyński focused on the sky. He created a timelapse spanning 24 h that has a focal point in the sky rather than on the ground. ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap20070... 🔭 🧪 #galactic

Someone learned a lesson

#Astrophotography isn't just about gear. Patience and practice are your best tools. And don't forget to ask questions. Others have probably had the same problem you're having. You can learn more at http://astropotamus.com/learn

Good Morning another week begins have a good one as I tend to do on Mondays sharing a few Mono shots, well mostly mono one with some color splash from a visit to Haskell Gardens All taken in New Bedford MA, Taken with Sony A7IV and Tamron 17-28mm Lens #photography #eastcoastkin #newElngland

New image! Desperately tried to get to 100 hours broadband but I'm quickly running out of actual night skies here in the UK and the moon isn't helping. Think this is finished for this year! 85 hours BB and 45 hours NB. Description in the alt text. #astronomy #astrophotography #space #fyp #askar #zwo

It's sold! Thank you to my friends who tried to help my dad's medical bills and other expenses by buying my paintings and sending some financial help. 🙏

I haven't posted much lately for a variety of reasons, some easily guessable. If you'd like to take a break from the seriousness of it all, a reminder that I have a starter pack of wonderful space artists that I try to regularly update:) 🔭🐡 go.bsky.app/T9Xcq1M

@bsky.app please add translation as an option for reading others posts that may be made in something other than your native language. There are so many amazing posts made by the community I'm unable to read because I'm ignorant and only speak English. 😂

Look. I just need 50 hours of clear skies and no moon. Is that alot to ask for...? #astrophotography

Very quick process of the Spaghetti Nebula mosaic. 4 panels so far....well 3 1/2. Think I am going to have push it from 6 panel to maybe12 and get a lot more data for each panel. Click to see the full image so far. #astrophotography #astronomy

With #LPSC2025 about to start, it's time to share what I've been working on during the last months and will be presenting at the conference. This is a new high resolution 3D model of the Mont Mercou outcrop in Gale crater, that I made during my recent internship at LPG Nantes. #planetsci 🧵

A seasonal classic—the Orion Nebula (M42)! ✨ Though often photographed, its extreme dynamic range makes it a real challenge to capture in detail and process properly. Thanks to great advice from the #astrophotography community, I managed to bring out this version ! @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Don't laugh. Light pollution is a big deal. It's not just #Astrophotography that sucks because of it. Imagine kids not being able to see the stars as they're growing up. How many of them will want to explore space as opposed to become programmers? www.bbc.com/news/science...

Here's 124 hours on the Dark Shark Nebula. 3 panel mosaic with 40 hours of duo NB data included for some HA in the Wolf's Cave. Finally done for now. This one took over a year. 😅 #astronomy #astrophotography #dso #space #spacethings #fyp #askar #zwo

The Pleiades, a brilliant blue star cluster, sits 400 light-years away, wrapped in a dusty reflection nebula. Nearby, the California Nebula glows red, a vast hydrogen cloud stretching across space 1,500 light-years from Earth. Credit: Todd Anderson, #NASA 🔭 #Astronomy #Space

I collected a few more hours on M51 last night, so here's a reprocessed version. 340 x 180s Esprit 120 | Altair 26C | CEM70 #astronomy #astrophotography #pixinsight #science

And here it is—finally, my first result using a narrowband filter: Thor’s Helmet (NGC 2359), a target I’ve dreamed of capturing ever since I started astrophotography! Despite the Bortle 8 sky and the late season, I managed to get a great result with just 8 hours of integration! 🔭 #astrophotography

Was hoping to add more to this but I've just got too many broadband projects in the works at the moment to dedicate anymore time to it. 7 hours so far. Looking forward to circling back next year and adding more. #astronomy #astrophotography #m45 #dso #space #spacethings #askar #zwo #fyp

I remember growing up my parents looked at neighborhoods/districts that had good schools for me and my brothers. Weird to think that you're going to have to look at states with good schools soon. Strange things in real estate coming....

This live bald eagle nest cam is proving to be a load-bearing anxiety salve for me at this moment of societal collapse.

Reminisce. A large panorama. Taken in 2014. This photo has personal meaning as the subject is my father and his alma mater. #photography #sports #huskiesfootball #seattle #panorama #udub #washingtonhuskies #universityofwashington

NGC 2442 or the "Meathook Galaxy". This one was fun. About 24 hours LRGB data by the SWOS team of Parker, Mazlin, Forman, and Harper. Processing was by Stuart Forman (me) and Mark Hanson. 24" Planewave at Obstech, Chile with a Moravian C5 camera. Thanks for looking! 🔭

Sunday #stunday Winter in Oregon may be cloudy but it's just nature's soft box. Great for long exposure photography. #photography #art #digitalart #landscape #nature #waterfall #eastcoastkin #Oregon #pnw

Scary, unsettling times on this world. Meanwhile, 5,000 light years away, this beautiful giant cloud, the Dolphin Nebula, glows, blown by hot winds from a massive star. About 60 light years across, it covers an area about the size of a full moon in our skies. 🧪 apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap20030...

Painted by time, sculpted by the wind. 🌄 The alien landscapes of Utah glow under the last light of the day, revealing layers of Earth’s untamed history.

Ok, so I've had a few processing runs at this, but I can't seem to get it to come out quite as I might want, but anyway here's M51 216 x 180s Altair 26C | Esprit 120 | CEM 70 #astrophotography #astronomy #pixinsight #science #skywatcher

This is perhaps the most outrageous thing I've ever captured. A moonbow (rainbow made from moonlight rather than sunlight), with snow (rather than rain) with the northern lights behind it. A Polar Lunar Snowbow?

Getting coffee on the way into work. My poor Jeep was so out of place! 😂 Taken at Jamboree and E Chapman, Irvine CA. circa 2019. This whole picture called me poor! Description in alt text. #photography #sportscar #Ferrari #Porsche #Jeep

What feels like relentless weeks of cloudy skies have finally opened up enough to collect some light on an ongoing project (my white whale). Here's the Wolf's Cave nebula. Still alot more NB data needed but its coming along nicely. Details in the alt text. #astronomy #astrophotography #space

A small palate cleanser. The feel of the open road! Taken in 2020 outside of Boulder City on the way down to Lake Mead. #photography #sunset #landscape #landscapephotography #fyp

Cederblad 51 is a blue reflection nebula sitting near Orion's head. It is surrounded by the stunning contrast of molecular dust to the lower left and bright red ionized hydrogen to the upper right. Imaged with my Takahashi Epsilon telescope in SW New Mexico. #astrophotography #photography
