I leaned into a mineral Moon tonight.
Iron-rich maria in blues, highlands in warmer tones. Enhanced contrast to bring out details.
When the moon photobombs your DSO plans..

Minitrack LX3
My first attempt with the Minitrack LX3 was very promising. This small mechanical tracking mount has the potential to become my permanent travel companion on vacations.
I think a blogpost might follow.

An image of our sun taken through a solar filter. Many sunspots are visible. Shot with a QHY268C camera through a Vixen AX103 telescope with reducer (635mm). Processed in AutoStakkert and Photoshop.
I don't normally shoot solar, but I had to work on the focuser and well, the sun was out. I'd love to get me one of those fancy Lunt scopes. Big bucks to see some plasma fly. I've spent too much already. #astrophotography #qhyccd #photography #solar #sun #solarsystem #sol #telescope #astroimaging
Here's a rare glimpse of the crater Drygalski on the southwestern limb of the Moon, which was experiencing close to the maximum latitudinal libration achievable as seen from Earth. C14, QHY5LIII678M captured at about 8:00UT, 8/17/2025. #lunarimaging #astronomy #moon #astroimaging #astrophotography
High resolution astrophotography image of Messier 13, also known as the Great Hercules Cluster, a bright globular cluster located in the constellation Hercules. The image shows hundreds of thousands of densely packed stars forming a roughly spherical shape, with a bright, concentrated core fading into a halo of individual stars. Captured in Nottinghamshire, UK under Bortle 6 skies using a Seestar S50 smart telescope. The dataset consists of 1,110 ten-second exposures, stacked and processed using Siril, GraXpert, and PixInsight. The final result reveals the intricate structure of the cluster, with a subtle range of star colours from cool red tones to hotter blue white stars, set against the blackness of space.
