I just presented Data Organization for Astrophotographers at #astropalooza! The slides are available here for anyone who wants to review them at their own pace. #astronomy #astrophotography

My most recent capture. This was from last night and it was the first clear night in weeks. It also was my first night with my new mount, the ZWO AM5. I’m a big fan. This is the soul nebula, captured in SHO. #soulnebula #astrophotography #astronomy #zwo #am5

The Western Veil nebula, aka the witches broom 🙂 part of a supernova remnant in the constellation of cygnus.

So this image is actually a combination of data from two different telescopes of mine. The Altair 115 triplet and the Altair 200mm newt

Image is 20x240s on the 115 triplet with dual band filter taken back in July, combined with 55x 180s with the 200mm newt (now at f3.8..thank you nexus) taken last night 😄also with the dual band filter .

Wow! This is my first time imaging Seagull Nebula (IC 2177). This is only 3h of data, but I will be grabbing more exposure time whenever I can while it is "high" in the sky. So pretty!

I'll shoot anything, but my preference is to shoot the stars.

@AlexSanterne Around 11 hours on the Horsehead and Flame Nebulae from Bottle 5 skies. Equipment used: William Optics Zenithstar 81 with 0.8x reducer, QHY268C, SkyWatcher HEQ5 Pro, the only filter I used was a UV/IR cut filter. #YourBestAstroPic2022 #astrophotography #astrodon #space

When I use both darks and bias my shots are ending up extremely grainy, but when I use each separately they're much nicer (albeit still with some background noise)

Am I doing something wrong?

Picture order is: both -> darks -> bias (details in the media descriptions)

So this is 37,000+ year old starlight filtered through some dust clouds above a clump of star stuff thats managed to organize itself into the adventure capital of New Zealand

Mars and the Moon through clouds. 1754UT 7 December 2022. Handheld. #AstroDon #Astronomy #Astro #Space #Astrophotography

Continuing Lighthouse Week on @Rjdlandscapes , this time Castlepoint lighthouse on the East coast of the North Island, a couple hours north of Wellington

This was shot during a 4 day visit running an astro photography workshop with Mark Gee

I ended up spending the rest of the long weekend in bed sick so didnt get anywhere near the exploring done I had hoped 😞

Here is my SH2-170 Little Rosette image, a total of 26 hours exposure in narrowband across [SII], H-alpha and [OIII]. It has been a tough target to image and has taken many sessions across a month of imaging due to poor weather. Taken with an Atik 383L+ and 190MN telescope #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Space #Narrowband #Astrodon #Nebula #Sharpless #Photography

Good evening!

Here comes my starless and rather experimental narrowband version of the famous Orion Nebula (M42). Exposure: in total 9 hours of halpha, SII & OIII data.

Gear: 152/900mm refractor, ASI1600mm Pro & Avalon Linear mount.
