Approximate transcript of an actual conversation at work, discussing presenting on #DeepSpaceObject s (which was nothing to do with either of our jobs):
Them: "Although I've done this sort of thing so much I could just do it on the fly"
Me: "So what's this ?" (gestures at the air)
T: "Well, let's see, that's M42, so the red bits are emission nebula and the blue bits are reflection nebula."
M: "No, the blue bits are emission nebula, and the red bits are reflection nebula."
T: "No, the red bits are emission, and the blue reflection."
M: "Blue bits have always been emission, and red reflection."
T: "Look, don't you start with that blue emission shit again..."
Finally! After receiving my replacement ZWO 2600MM Pro (oil leak and fan causing vibration issues), we experienced an uncharacteristic three weeks of cloudy weather. This was a test shot of the Cygnus Wall in the North America Nebula. The image is 30 x 5min exposures in hydrogen alpha. #astronomy #astrophotography #astrophoto #space #nebula #deepspaceobject
The clouds finally parted for one night!! This is 170 minutes of integration (5min x 34) in Ha on the Horsehead Nebula. #astrophotography #astronomy #astrophoto #photography #space #deepspaceobject #horseheadnebula
Well, I thought I was going to have four nights and ended up with one. So, the data is a little tortured here, but I'll add more data later. This is M 78 (Casper the Friendly Ghost Nebula) in RGB. #astrophotography #astrophoto #Astrodon #space #deepspaceobject #nebula #photography #astronomy
Just migrated from another server and testing things out. Here is a picture of the core of the Heart Nebula in HSO (Hydrogen alpha, Sulfer II, Oxygen III). This was actually the first lights on my newest OTA. #astrophotography #astrophoto #photography #space #deepspaceobject #nebula #astrodon
