A star trails showing through trees that are still mostly bare. About 1 hours worth of images. The bright streak at the top is Jupiter and the relatively bright streak near the bottom is Sirius. The modestly bright streaks disappearing into the trees on the right are Orion. 14mm

The night sky with the constellation Cassiopeia going from top to bottom. Very faintly, the northern Milky Way goes through the constellation. This is a stack of 21 images with 8 darks. The are 30 second images at an ISO of 3200 f/4 Nikon Z5 with a Sigma 105 mm lens. Traced with a MoveShootMove Nomad. It is processed in PixInsight.
The same as the first, plate solved and annotated by PixInsight.

A view of most of the constellation of Taurus. The v of the Hyades is on the left with red Aldebaran farthest left. The Pleiades are on the right. The image was a stack of 50 30 second images with a Nikon Z5 at f/4 3200 ISO using a Sigma 105mm lens. The images were tracked with a MoveShootMove Nomad and processed in PixInsight, GraXpert and DarkTable.
This is the same ax the first image but annotated using PixInSight.

Orion Nebula (M42). January 16, 2026 as seen through my #Nikon D600 using tripod and a three second exposure. #nightsky #nightskyphotography #photography #Orion #M42
A close up photo of a star studded night sky with several prominent bright stars toward the center of the image. This is The Pleiades star cluster. Called "The Seven Sisters", and many other names in different cultures around the world that have seen it through our shared history. Though the whole image contains stars all over, the main stars at center are brightest, and stand out easily. Roughly, seven of them form a small close group that is shaped like a small ladle with s very short handle with two stars at the end of the handle. The opposite side of the ladle cup has two stars at the tip of the cups right hand tip. The Pleiades cluster has far more than just seven stars that astronomers have found are truly associated with the cluster. The total number is likely in excess of 1,000 members. Only a handful are actually visible. The main stars we see in this image are hot young stars that are a characteristic blue color. There is also some faint wispy nebulosity visible. The nebulosity is not part of the cluster, but caused by some interstellar gas in the light path to us. The stars that show the nebulosity the best are the inner, upper right side cup rim star, and the lower left bottom cup base. Longer exposures and filtered light images can capture much more diffuse dust and gas. Other colors that can be seen in stars around the main cluster are reddish and yellow to orange. Between all the stars is deep dark background.
The Pleiades, from last night (1-16-26).
This is a combination of 11 - 60 second images, so a total of 11 minutes of exposure. The ISO was 200. Processed and edited in Sequator and LRc.

A cell phone camera image of some stars in the night sky. Top center left is the brightest point in the image, the Planet Jupiter. Following a slanted diagonal line down from Jupiter, and to the left at about Jupiter's 6 o clock is a bright start in the constellation Canis Minor (means Small dog), and that star is named Procyon (means Before the dog). Now if we go to bottom left center there is the brightest star in the whole sky (except the planet Jupiter (not a star)). It's called Sirius "The Dog Star", part of the constellation Canis Major (means Big dog). Looking to the bottom center right side is almost all the constellation Orion. Three close stars tilt up to the right in the middle of the constellation, and form Orion's belt. Up and to the left of the belt is a bright red star, the red supergiant Betelgeuse. It is Orion's left shoulder. The right shoulder star is directly right of it at the edge of the image. Still hugging the edge, but below the shoulder star, and below the belt stars is Orion's right leg star. Unfortunately, the left leg star is behind a tree in the dark. All the rest of the background in this image is completely dark.
Well tonight was a hoot! 🦉

Pleiades as photographed from my balcony with my #Nikon Coolpix P1100. It may not look like much but no tripod was used. And, unlike my attempt to capture the bright red of the star Betelgeuse, the blue in these stars is clearly visible. #nightsky #nightskyphotography #pleiades #photography
Orion Nebula (M42). January 15, 2026. First clear night with the Constellation Orion in the sky where I could try photographing it from my balcony with my #Nikon Coolpix P1100. With just a bit of processing the nebula was made visible. #nightsky #nightskyphotography #photography #Orion #M42

I reprocessed the image with PixInsight, which I do not know as well as I would like to, and Graxpert. Pushing the stretch and contrast and cleaning up in Photoshop Elements allowed me to pull out the Horsehead Nebula and more detail I the other Nebula in the region.
This was my first attempt at post processing the stack of about 30 images at 30 seconds, ISO 3200. I was pleased with the resolution of the Orion Nebula but a bit disappointed with not seeing the much fainter horsehead Nebula which is near the left hand star in Orion's belt.
Two versions from the same photo set ane the need for post processing in astrophotography. More in alt. #Stunday #EastCoastKin #astrophotography #orion #orionnebula #flamenebula #horseheadnebula #pixinsight #nightskyphotography

Wolf moon captured in the night sky, the moonlight is making the clouds glow, highlighting its bright lunar centre. The clouds are darker around the edge of the photo, over taken by the deep blue night sky.
Captured a wolf in the #nightsky with my iPhone 🌙 The biggest one you’ll see this year 🌛🐕 Not perfect. I don’t have a telescope lens to record the detail of the moon’s surface 🌝 It’s on my wish list ✨ Enjoy your evening 🪅
