The Crescent Nebula NGC-6888 in Cygnus Taken 04/19/2026 - Dwarf 3
The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) is an emission nebula located about 5000 ly away in Cygnus
Stellar winds from Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136) created a shell of gas and dust forming the distinct crescent shape. WR 136 will go supernova in ~100,000 years

The first clear night I headed back to Goblin Valley State Park and Moonscape Overlook for some night photography. Lots of driving and amazing! Saw one other photographer at Goblin Valley. #capitolreefnationalpark #nps #astrophotography #milkyway #nightsky
After the Dwarf Stellar Studio.
After I have run this through Snapseed, Lightleap and Photoshop Lite. All free mobile apps.
If you're interested, image 1 is what the output looks like straight out of the Dwarf app after its in-house processing has been run. Image 2 is after I have run my own processing. Note, no new or false colours added, just drawn out from the original data. #astronomy #astrophotography
Lovely animation of Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) by Bob Jones on the comets-ml mailing list this morning! The dynamics in the tail are something to see. https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/message/35278

Got a smart telescope recently. Still learning but this one came out well last night.

A meteor passing to the left of the 'Keystone' asterism in Hercules. Caught at 23:11 UT on 18 April 2026 with a Canon 250D and 7.5mm lens at 15s exp, 7.5mm fl, f/3.5, ISO-1600. The meteor is likely from the Antihelion Source - a diffuse source of meteors active all year round and located opposite the Sun in the night sky.
Nice meteor caught on the night of 18-19 April. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Meteor

The Elephant's Trunk Nebula (specifically designated IC 1396A) is a dense pillar of interstellar gas and dust. It is located within the much larger IC 1396 emission nebula complex in the constellation Cepheus, roughly 2,400 light-years away. The trunk itself is about 20 light-years long. The surrounding region spans over 100 light-years in diameter.
The Elephant Trunk Nebula. A bit noisy but not bad for 45 minutes worth before daylight arrived this morning. All that interstellar gas and dust! Captured by the Dwarf3 scope.

The 8% lit crescent Moon in a blue sky just after sunset on 19 April 2026. Just below the Moon is the Pleiades open cluster. Lower than the pair and just above a rooftop is the bright planet Venus. Shot taken with a Canon 600D and 300mm lens at 0.6s, 75mm fl, f/5.6, ISO-1600.

Comet R3 PanSTARRS over a Himalayan Valley.
#NASA #Astronomy #Astrophotography
The best way to see comet R3 PanSTARRS’s long tail is with a camera. This week, the recently brightened comet appears in northern skies to the east just before dawn, but is only barely visible to the unaided eye. The many-degree ion tail captured on long duration camera exposures is not unusual for a comet - it is primarily due to the Earth's nearly sideways view of the tail as it points away from the Sun. In the featured image taken last week, Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) showed off its flowing tail through a valley between two peaks in the Himalayan mountains of India. The comet passed its closest to the Sun yesterday. As it nears its closest approach to Earth next week, a bushy dust tail may become visible. The comet is slowly moving out of northern skies and by the end of the month will be visible after sunset in southern skies as it fades and leaves our Solar System.
