Life Hack: Constantly checking sky conditions enhances your ability to predict weather patterns. It also confirms that fact that you will have one month of bad weather for every piece of #Astrophotography gear you buy.
Venus on another gloriously clear night. Clouds (sadly) forecast to be back tomorrow.

Bode's galaxy, or M81, in Ursa Major. A spiral galaxy showing a bright central nucleus, with spiral arms showing blueish colours of hot young stars as well as bright red hydrogen alpha star forming regions. To the right of the image is a faint galaxy - Holmberg IX. The galaxy has bright blue and yellow foreground Milky Way stars surrounding it.
An LRGBHa image of M81 taken recently with @astronomyedinburgh.bsky.social's remote 12" Murrell Newtonian 🔭 at #Trevinca in Spain. #astrophotography
A large, glowing orange sun sets behind a dark silhouette of evergreen trees against a black background. The sun is a massive, textured semi-circle, occupying the center of the frame, with the jagged tops of the forest creating a sharp, dark horizon line across its lower half.
A vertical, minimalist photograph captures a large, orange-red sun setting behind a dark silhouette of a pine forest. The sun appears as a perfect, glowing semicircle, heavily cropped by a circular vignette that fades into a solid black background. The sharp, jagged outlines of the coniferous trees create a stark contrast against the warm, vibrant light of the sun.
A vertical, close-up photograph features a sleek, white **ZWO Seestar S30 Pro** smart telescope mounted on a black tripod. The device, which has a distinct L-shaped minimalist design, is positioned in the right foreground and appears to be pointed toward the horizon. The background shows a soft-focus landscape during **golden hour**, with the sun setting behind distant rolling hills and a dark treeline. A wooden fence and a green field are visible in the mid-ground under a clear, pale blue sky. The lighting highlights the smooth matte finish of the telescope, with the red "S30 Pro" branding subtly visible on its side.
Sunset this evening, captured with the Seestar s30 Pro. #sunset #sun #seestar #seestars30pro #astrophotography
A Moment In Time... It was two years ago today - April 8th, 2024 - that I was able to photograph the SOLAR ECLIPSE. It was the experience of a lifetime.

Detailed view of Jupiter with a tiny bright dot on the right side and a small round shadow on the right limb. The great red spot is approaching the center. taken with a Meade 8" SCT with a 2x Barlow and ZWO ASI662MC camera. Top 40% of frames in a 180s video were stacked in Autostakkert, sharpened in Registax, and processed in Photoshop
I didn't think I'd get anything worth sharing due to the high cirrus that attenuated the sky last night. I had to increase my exposure time from 2.7ms to 6ms. Despite that, this image of Io and its shadow transiting along with the Great Red Spot turned out OK! Details in ALT. #astrophotography

A view of the Carina-Sagittarius spiral arm of the Galaxy captured by the homeward bound crew of Artemis 2. The bright patch near the centre is the Carina nebula. On the lower right the Large Magellanic Cloud is visible. The LMC is a small galaxy that orbits around our own Milky Way Galaxy.
I'll be on the #BBCBreakfast sofa tomorrow morning at around 8:15 talking about all things #Artemis2.
Nice to see the crew squeeze in some Galactic #Astrophotography as they journey home.

The beehive cluster. An open cluster. A starfield with many large white stars and a few red stars
Took a picture of the beehive cluster in lab last night. This is the 2nd time I've set up my smart scope to image while helping students. It kind of feels like cheating >.>

退職お父さんだよ。
新しいカメラを買って今日初めて割とちゃんと使えたので、その撮影画像をアップするよ。写っているのは右からM65銀河、M66銀河、ハンバーガー銀河、いずれも獅子座にある銀河達だ。
購入したのはDwarf miniというスマート望遠鏡。一部の界隈で流行っているのを見て先週の金曜日に購入したんだよ。
全くの素人でもこんな写真が撮れるとはびっくりだよ。

Full eclipse with a visible corona
Exiting the full eclipse, a little shiny edge
Two years ago I took these once in a lifetime photos basically in my own backyard. It was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had in a crowd. 📷 #photography #astrophotography
Two years ago today, I was in #VieuxMontreal, across the street from "Our Lady of the Harbour" aka Notre-Dame de Bonsecours chapel, observing the April 8th, 2024, #TotalSolarEclipse.

White Bread Galaxy NGC-2841 Taken 04/07/2026 - Dwarf 3
White Bread Galaxy (NGC 2841) in Ursa Major (Big Dipper) ~45.8 Mly away spanning 152,000 ly
No new stars, no massive jets of radiation, no collisions, no bitchy neighbors...
Just a big old boring galaxy, perfect spot for life to form and thrive

This is a striking composite or long-exposure photograph that blends portraiture with deep-sky astrophotography. The image features a woman in a vibrant red dress posed against a dramatic night sky dominated by the Milky Way. Composition and Subject The Subject: A blonde woman stands in the center-foreground, wearing a long, sleeveless red gown with a high slit. Her pose is dynamic, with one hand touching her hair and her gaze directed upward and away from the camera. Foreground Elements: She is standing on or near weathered wooden pilings or driftwood on a sandy beach. Low sand dunes topped with sea oats and beach grasses are visible behind her, grounding the scene in a coastal environment. Background: The upper two-thirds of the frame are filled with a brilliant, detailed view of the galactic core of the Milky Way. The celestial display is rich with nebulae, dark dust lanes, and thousands of visible stars. Technical Execution Lighting: The subject is illuminated with a soft, cool-toned light source (likely a flash or LED panel with a diffuser), which creates a sharp contrast against the dark sky. The lighting on her skin and the dress is clean, with well-defined highlights. Color Palette: The primary contrast comes from the bold red of the dress against the deep blues, violets, and golden-tans of the night sky. The neutral tones of the wood and sand help anchor the more saturated colors. Post-Processing: The image appears to be a sophisticated composite. To achieve this level of detail in both the Milky Way and the subject without motion blur or overexposure, the photographer likely used a tracked exposure for the stars and a separate, shorter exposure for the woman and the foreground. Overall Mood The photograph has an ethereal, cinematic quality. The juxtaposition of a high-fashion aesthetic with the vastness of the cosmos creates a sense of wonder and "cosmic' elegance.

Oh I got that only 10 years ago when I finally decided to do some #astrophotography. A starter level Skywatcher Explorer 130 PDS.

Got a new background on my computer. It looks like you're standing on the Moon close enough to touch the Earth. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography #ArtemisII
Southern Pinwheel Galaxy M83 Taken 04/06/2026 - Dwarf 3
The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (M83) a barred spiral galaxy located ~14.7 Mly away in Hydra. Our glactic neighbor spans 118,000 ly, slightly larger than the Milky Way, and contains several regions of new star birth

A comet with a round, bright green coma and a long, structured tail with knots and streamers extending beyond the edge of the frame. There is also a short dust tail. Equipment: 8-inch f/4 newtonian telescope, 294MC-Pro, guided Prometheus-astro tyr, controlled by StellaVita. 30x30s, with moonlight interfering. Sitia, Crete. Edited with DSS, SIRIL and Ps.
Comet MAPS may have not survived, but C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) is putting on a show in the early hours sky. As of 8 April 2026, it has grown a long ion tail, and there are hints of a dust tail and is visible with large binoculars. Perihelion is on 11 days. #cometWatch #astrophotography
