I processed this as a 2-panel mosaic of the Western Veil Nebula in the HOO palette. It includes over 26.5 hours of total exposure time across several weeks. Scroll for a closer look.

The moon can be a massive pain if you want to make photos of deep sky objects. It can glow over large parts of the sky. The solution? Shoot the moon! 🔭 #astrophotography #backyardastronomy #berlin #germany #edgehd8 #svbonysv705c #sharpcap
The PacMan Nebula #NGC281 in all its glory. I took this photo about a month ago from my suburban backyard.

We’re expecting 10-18” of snow and it’s been cloudy for almost a month.🙄So here’s my main rig at the moment. I plan to capture some planetary shots after it stops #astrophotography #astrorig #astrogear #telescope #oag #guidecamera #zwo #askar #celestron #eaf #asiair #asi2600 #asi174 #edgehd #edgehd8
Some people think that globular clusters are boring but I think they’re quite beautiful. Especially when your telescope can produce pinpoint stars! Here’s my image of the Hercules globular cluster #M13 #globularcluster #stars #deepspaceobject #edgehd8 #astrophotography #space #astronomy #celestron
I just captured over 17 hours on the North American Nebula. It turned out far better than I ever imagined! This is just the Cygnus Wall portion.

The Tulip Nebula (SH2-101) located in the constellation Cyngus with the SHO palette. This includes 27 hours of total exposure time. Such a beautiful target!!

I took this image of the Cigar Galaxy a few months ago. I then added the Hydrogen alpha signal (the red part in the middle).

Trunk of the Elephant's Trunk Nebula (IC 1396). It was taken as a 2-panel mosaic. I filmed the left half separately from the right and then stitched them together into a single final image.

This is Melotte 15 which is the "Heart of the Heart Nebula." I really love how this one turned out!

The Crab Nebula (M1) taken last month from my backyard. This is an SHO image which really brings out the different structures beautifully. #astrophotography #deepskyobject #deepskyastrophotography #telescope #backyardastronomy #celestron #edgehd #EdgeHD8 #nebula #ASI2600MMPro #M1 #crabnebula
I devoted over 56 hours to capture this 4-panel mosaic of a Wolf Rayet star (WR 134) in the constellation Cygnus. This was my most ambitious project yet!
