Honestly I kinda do want the answers to all of these. I have an idea of a few, but the rest are still interesting

The Cosmic Question Mark is comprised of a large emission nebula NGC 7822 and the small "Dot" is the Little Rosette Nebula (SH2-170). This photo is an updated post from 2 spectral bands to 3 where ionized Sulfur are reds, Hydrogen are yellows and Oxygen are blues. Equipment: SVBony SV555 Petzval astrograph ZWO AM3 mount ASKAR type C duo band filter set (Ha/Oiii,Sii/Oiii) ZWO ASI2600 mc pro color camera Mini PC running NINA and PHD2 for control and auto-guiding.

No cometary imaging this morning. It was initially clear but high clouds were rolling in and they beat me to it I'm afraid. I briefly captured the Moon though 🔭🧪😁

Favorite adaptation of a Lovecraft story?

A brightly colored nebula consisting of two oval lobes of gases, energized by several start clusters within. This region is commonly called the Soul Nebula an is found in the constellation of Cassiopeia.

A two panel mosaic that I made of around 45 hours of narrowband imaging of the Soul Nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia during the month of September. 🔭

The stars over the desert in Oregon.

We are very small! A shot I took this summer in eastern Oregon!

This is the Triangulum Galaxy, M33. It is located about 2.7 million light years away. This stunning spiral galaxy is one of our Milky Way’s closest neighbors. Every point of light in this image represents billions of stars and countless worlds. @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social #astrophotography #stars

The Heart and Soul nebulae are a pair of large, neighbouring emission nebulae in the constellation Cassiopeia, situated approximately 6,000 to 7,500 light-years away. Together, they form an extensive and active star-forming region within the Milky Way's Perseus spiral arm The Heart Nebula (IC 1805) resembles a classical human heart, the Heart Nebula is a substantial cloud of glowing, ionised hydrogen gas marked by dark dust lanes. The Soul Nebula (IC 1848) also known as the Embryo Nebula or W5 is adjacent to the Heart Nebula. It is a vast cloud of gas and dust illuminated by powerful particles from a cluster of new stars.

This will need a click on your phone!

The Heart and Soul nebulae. A full framed widescale image as captured in a single session last night by the Dwarf3!

180 minutes of 60 second exposures (the best 132 of which were stacked)

An emission nebula that is roughly heart-shaped against a backdrop of starts.

Been a while since I posted #astrophotography: here's the Heart Nebula, one of my favorite parts of the night sky (I say that about a lot of the sky though)

60x180s exposures (3 hours) with a Ha/Hb/OIII narrowband filter, from Bortle-5 upstate New York.

Andromeda galaxy, Messier 31. This is the nearest galaxy to our Milky Way home. This was a short series of images using red, green and blue filters, taken to test exposure length.

Andromeda galaxy, taken at the Kelling star party just before dawn.
I've not done much imaging using RGB filters before, so took a short series of images to test exposure and gain settings.
This is only 1½ hours total exposure.
I'll try and do a proper session, hopefully with better framing!

Skull Nebula. A planetary nebula with a triple-star system at its center. A nebula of just a few thousand years, a cosmic blink compared to other DSO.

Personally, I call this The Metroid nebula instead. 🎮

#astrophotography #sydney #australia

A focus on a star forming region seen in infrared light. Hundreds of white dots, big and small ones, can be seen everywhere in the image as they are stars! A lot of gas can be seen in the image, covering almost every part of it. This gas is what is helping the new stars to be formed there. In the upper left part, multiple jets can be spotted: they are stars being born at this very moment! A lot of background galaxies can also be spotted in the whole image

The JWST had a new look into the IC348 star forming region last year, and here's my processed image of that observation! 🔭

IC348 is located some 1,000 light years away from us and is made of hundreds of new stars born there.

Not the best of images but last night I did manage to catch the shadow of Titan on Saturn’s cloud tops. 🔭

Here is the first clear photograph of Andromeda, the closest galaxy to our Milky Way. It was taken by Welshman Isaac Roberts in 1888
