This is the very center of the Heart Nebula, captured with our SCT 9.25. I love the intricate gasses, of the very active stellar nursery! πΈπ #astronomy #astrobackyard
More Jupiter, this time with Ganymede and Io nearby πΈπ #astronomy #astrosky #astrobackyard
The Sun was particularly active this week, so we did a time lapse. We witness in this video the eruption of plasma from a sunspot into a filament!

LBN 662 is a small section of the larger star cluster known as the Soul Nebula. It is an area of bright-rimmed globules, or cosmic pillars, sculpted by the stellar winds and intense ultraviolet radiation from hot, young stars. Captured over 7.5 hours. #astrophotography #astrobackyard #astronomy
A Witchy Wonder - my edit of the Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118). Raw image provide by Trevor Jones of #astrobackyard #witchheadnebula #IC2118 #astrophotography
Here is our 2025 rendition of the Cygnus Loop, supernova remnant. We took 97 600 second images using our Redcat51 and ZWOASI183mc camera, and stacked and processed them in Pixinsight & Photoshop. #astrophotography #astrosky #astrobackyard
Made famous by the Hubble telescope, M16, the Eagle Nebula features the pillars of creation.

Saying goodbye to the winter constellation. I created this image back in early March with a break in the clouds over Nipstone rock at the #stiperstones in south Shropshire.

Here we have a wide field image of the Flaming Star (IC-405) and the Tadpole (IC-410) nebula. #astrophotography #astrophoto #nightimages #astronomy #astrobackyard #spacetoday
#M81 and #M82 from the backyard. Total exposure is about 24hrs in LRGB+Ha. Was able to pull out some faint #IFN in the L channel but still could use some more time and darker skies.

The #wizardnebula in #SHO using Antlia 3 filters from my backyard. Tried a couple different ways of editing but landed on a normal process of combining, neutralizing background, and then adjusting the colors the way I wanted. Total 10 h 15 min

Here we have the Medusa Nebula, also known as Abell 21, imaged from my backyard. I would like to add some more time to this one to bring out more of the faint details, but the clouds are here to stay. Total 10h 55min

Here is the Skull and Crossbones Nebula in SHO imaged over seven nights from my backyard. This nebula is very low on the horizon so I am quite happy with the results.
