Thank you!

Astrophotograph of Orion showing the Horsehead Nebula as a dark horsehead silhouette against red emission (IC 434), the bright Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) with dark dust lanes to its left, the blue star Alnitak, and several faint reflection nebulae and field stars.

So how did you spend Super Bowl Sunday with temperatures below freezing? We spent at the BAA’s observatory. Glad we did because, we got this image of The Horsehead and Flame Nebula. More details in this blog post: astronomy716.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-... #space #astrophotography #astronomy

Yeah, been thinking about selling the L-extreme and getting a set from one of the other brands. No that Optolong has a match for the L-extreme, I may go that way.

Yeah. I have the L-extreme and am Will likely buy their SII -Oiii filter.

I’m really enjoying it. Looks like you’re too.

Thanks. I have the FMA180 and ZWO2600 color too. This looks like a great target for it!

Beautiful! What focal length and camera (or camera sensor size)?

🤣

Wide-field not wife-field. 🤦🤦

I think a few more people stayed to the end this time. Have a great weekend. Hoping to image tonight.

Go Bills!

No tonight. A rare clear night during a long weekend.

A couple of iPhone shots from an impromptu imaging session at our club’s observatory. Clear skies broke out on a holiday weekend. #astrophotography

Beautiful night tonight (of course it is clear on Sunday night) and I tried out my iPhone 16 pro from my drive way. Wow! Single 30 sec exposure on a tripod. I’m sure the phone is doing some AI processing. I did save the file in Raw format. #iphonemilkyway #astrophotography

Glad to … help. 😀

Correct and Deadpool’s Head is between the North America and Pelican. Look for the eyes.
