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.

@macmade Nice work!!! Very cool! Fun rig to play with with. Love my Seestar!

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 🔭📷
The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). I never tire of imaging this object and the surrounding area.
Details: RedCat 51mm, ASI2600MC Pro, AM5 mount. Dual band Ha/OIII filter, 3.5 hours exposure time at Cherry Springs State Park during the Black Forest Star Party.
This is IRAS 20324+4057 -- a protostar trying to level up to full star mode 🤩
This protostar is located in the #constellation Cygnus -- you can find our episodes on the #astronomy and #mythology of the constellation #Cygnus here: https://www.starrytimepodcast.com/episodes.html

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 🔭📷🌌

Why I Fell In Love With Monochrome
Since I restarted photography after long hiatus, I decided to concentrate on monochrome. For some reason, it came naturally to me to not produce colourful images anymore.

@tuparev Thanks! This data was captured using a Stellarvue SVX102T, ZWO ASI2600MM Pro and ZWO focuser/filter wheel,/guider etc all riding on a Losmandy G11 mount.
We get mixed results in our sky quality around here. That just means I have to capture even more data and toss out the worst frames.
@nkar Thanks! I found out a little later the "blue flare" is called PGC28757 (Holmberg IX).
@pjohanneson That looks like you had a lot of fun! I need a nice simple night like that soon. Would love to do a similar project. Excellent!
I was out in the countryside last night, all alone with the fireflies and the crickets.

Click through for a couple more photos — including a panorama — and a timelapse video.
@stargazerrob Yeah life has thrown some curve balls at me, but I'm managing, and getting some back for night skies!
Another older shot. The Whale Galaxy (NGC 4631) - Lots of friends to go along with this eye-candy. Be sure to scan all the small galaxy smudges in this shot. Almost 6 hours of exposure time including both RGB and narrowband filters. Cropped special - Galaxy Season style. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭📷 #photography
