after a while - i finally came to a bit astronomy. work has filled up my life last months... A glimpse an Messier 42, the Great Orion Nebula. Seeing was cruel and i couldn't do more resolution then 2x2 binning. but i am happy with the result of 30 Minutes photon counting 😉
🌌 Tonight looks good at the Westport Observatory (12/17, opens 8PM). A few passing clouds, but nothing to kill the vibe. With the bright Moon out of the way, it’s deep-sky night—winter galaxies, star clusters, outer planets, and the showstopper Orion Nebula. Come see what’s out there. https://was-ct.org/programs/public-viewing/

Orion Nebula with no filters. This is what it looks like through the telescope but with a 2 second capture.

Home hides in a quiet corner of the #MilkyWay, a vast spiral galaxy 100,000 light-years wide with arms like luminous highways. #Earth rests in the #OrionArm, a modest spur between #Sagittarius and #Perseus, marked by the #OrionNebula and the #Pleiades cluster. There, about two-thirds from the galactic center, a yellow star glows—the #Sun. One among roughly 400 billion #stars, it shelters the only world we know, the fragile speck where every human story unfolds. #Science #Physics #Astrodon #Space
The Nebulas of Orion!!
Visible early in the morning now before sunrise in Eastern skies!

Learning something new with my friend Tracy who has a 20 inch Dob and nightscope. These were my best two shots of Orion last night using her set up.

🚀🎨 Oh, look! Yet another tale of a tech enthusiast who thought a $200 tracker wasn't enough, so they over-engineered a telescope mount with harmonic drives and an #ESP32, just to be the Bob Ross of the Orion Nebula. Next up: building a particle accelerator to make better toast. 🥇🔧

@FotoVorschlag es ist 'Verblüffend' was sich trotz der heftigen Lichtverschmutzung (und dem/n Flugverkehr und Satelliten) doch noch beobachten lässt.

Finally got around to processing M42 in narrowband from February. My flats routine wasn't very good this time, so this is heavily cropped. Also had some mechanical issues that I didn't notice since I was trying out a homebrew autofocuser, so some stars are a little long. On top of all that, some stars in the center are overcooked so, more to do next year!
Color is H-alpha, Sii, and Oiii mapped to their actual wavelength so this is "true color"...sort of. #astrophotography #M42 #orionnebula
