Well done with the S30! The time invested has really paid off.

Ever since I got this scope I wanted to do a close up on M31. Unfortunately ran out of time to add Oiii and had to throw out a lot of frames due to bad seeing. In total 14 hrs on Ha and 1 hour on each RGB.

My recent take on NGC281 the Pacman Nebula. This emission nebula is located ~9500 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Taken over the course of a night from my backyard (awhile ago).

It's been a very busy year for me. Excited to have been part of the team to make this happen!

Haven't had a ton of clear nights with good seeing lately but here's one project I've managed to do the last few months. The reflection nebulae VdB 14 & 15 in Camelopardalis.

Space is really cool! I use filters that isolate specific wavelengths of light emitted by the nebulae which are captured by my camera and produce a black and white image. Using three different filters lets me allow one to each red, green, and blue - creating the color image here.

My last wide field image for the time being is IC405 and IC410 in SHO (as well as quite a few other open star clusters and nebulae). Located ~1,500 and ~12,400 light-years away in the constellation Auriga, this is a young star forming region.

One of my favorite shots yet of Comet ATLAS by @jeanetteastro.bsky.social!

Unfortunately it looks like the comet may already be breaking apart and is only visible in the southern hemisphere.

The extra work is paying off! Really easy to see the improvement in the extra integration time.
