#astro today’s solar capture. Some thin cloud pasty by, look at those sunspots. Taken with the Seestar S50. #solar #seestar

Many thanks Ryan 😊

Ty 🙏 😊

Sorry I should have said. This is the Clamshell Nebula.

Thank you so much 😊

#astro 7hrs so far on this. A few more should help bring out more Oiii and sharper detail. Just waiting for another clear night. #scottishweather

Thankfully got a clear night a couple of nights ago. I had 6hrs on this data and managed to add another 7hrs. This is NGC 6823 aka SH2-86 located in the constellation Vulpecula.

Imaged with Skywatcher 72 ed, ZWO AM5 mount and ZWO 2600MM Pro camera. Click on image to see it in full.

My latest work in progress. Sadr region. The Butterly Nebula with the Crescent Nebula. I am a lover of wide field imaging. Once I have clear skies again here in Scotland I will add more time to this amazing region. #astrophotography #nebula #astro #esa #stem #deepspace

"Wolf-Rayet 134 widefield"Here's a sneak peek at my work-in-progress image of Wolf-Rayet star WR134, nestled in the Cygnus constellation. I've only managed to capture 4 hours and 38 minutes of exposure time so far. Will need more Oiii for sure.

Congrats to Prof. Doughtery 👏☺️

#astro within the next two weeks astronomical darkness will start to return here in Scotland. Getting excited about setting up my rig and imaging again ☺️

#astro Last nights crescent moon setting over my backyard in Loch Lomond. There was a light haze giving off a beautiful glow. Taken with iPhone.

#astro last nights efforts. The Pinwheel Galaxy M101. LRGB filters. Still to capture Ha. This is my first draft. Hopefully get it finished before constant twilight hits Scotland.

#astro Scotland has been enjoying some long awaited clear nights 🥰

#astro Whilst imaging the galaxy M101 I decided to take some moon images on my iPhone. The earthshine and glow were beautiful. Loch Lomond, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#astro Late posting this. The last two weeks I was in Toronto and was fortunate to have crystal clear sky the night of the Lunar eclipse. Blood Moon. Now back home in Scotland under a sea of cloud 😞

😮

Not sure Joe.

Many thanks 😊

Thank you ☺️

Yeah lol. Checking out the balance 😂

#astro Permanent Pier now finished and I can now have two set ups going at the one time 🥰

#astro The sky gods were kind enough to gift me a few hours of cloud free sky. NGC 2264 aka The Christmas Tree Nebula.

It does lol

#astro found this data in a folder from 2023 unprocessed. Nice wee surprise for me 🥰 The crescent nebula in SHO. Skywatcher 72ed with ZWO 533 mono.

#astro #astrophotography This weekend was The Guild of Photographers Awards ceremony. I was invited to do an Astro workshop and presentation talk which went amazing. Not only did I make the Photographers Bar, but I also won a place in the International Top Ten photographers of 2024 😍😮

Wow 🤩
