This is the other thing I was working on last night. The Galaxy M101 in Ursa Major. But there was a lot of cloud action in the early part of the night, and I ended up with less than five hours of it. At least they were hours in a very dark sky. #astronomy #astrophotography

a spiral galaxy tilted between edge-on and face-on. bright knots of blue star forming regions trace the spiral arms. The best 249 out of 420, 60 s exposures (it was windy!) were taken with a Meade 8" SCT and ZWO ASI2600MM camera, stacked and processed with Astro Pixel Processor, StarNET++, and Photoshop.

Last night's target, NGC 4236 (Caldwell 3), is a barred spiral in Draco and is a member of the M81 galaxy group. It's on the outer edge of the group at a distance of 14.5 MLY. NGC 4236's low surface brightness makes it a challenging target. Details in ALT. #astrophotography

The #BirdoftheDay #Alt Theme is #Waders, any wading bird. Here is an American bittern that I walked past multiple times and didn't see it. It made a dragonfly friend.❤️

A Pacific Wren finds its stage atop a moss-covered snag in the Hoh Rainforest. These tiny birds have one of the most intricate and powerful songs in the forest—it’s always impressive to see them in full voice. 🌲🐦

Chipping Sparrow The photo shows a small bird perched on a horizontal branch in a woodland setting. The bird has a light grayish body, a brown cap on its head, and a short tail. Its beak is small and conical, and it faces the camera directly, giving a round, puffed-up appearance. The background is blurred with tree trunks and branches, emphasizing the bird as the main subject.
