Beautiful 😍 I love it

Yes. I see! Very talented

Thank you 😊 its such a fun hobby

Skywatcher evostar ed 80. ZWO294MM Pro and SHO filters by optolong

Thank you Keith xx

Thank you kindly

Cheers James! Glad you like it

The Sadr Region, glowing in the heart of Cygnus.

Captured last night with 2 hours on each SHO filter.

Just a small attempt to show the beauty that’s already there.

It does have a sinister side profile doesn't it

Haha yes. I went for it

Spent a few nights this week collecting data on the Eastern Veil Nebula in Cygnus. This is part of a huge supernova remnant, the aftermath of a massive star that exploded about 8,000 years ago.

This is in SHO, a less common choice for this target.

Love my new astro nails 🌟🧙‍♀️🌙

Thanks

Collecting data on the beautiful Eastern Veil Nebula this month. This is around 4hrs HA and 1hr 40 of OIII. Can't get more OIII until the pesky moon is out of the way. Here is a rough process so far #astro #astronomy

Yes the weather isnt good here either. Always frustrating

It feels natural to me but apparently its not haha

I also play inverted Y axis, which usually blows follow gamers minds haha

Halo and Destiny and Gears of War, always xbox for me 🎮

A montage of photos of 3D sculptures of fossil ammonites. I've made so many over the years so the photos here span about 20 years worth of work. There are photos of work that children have made and also examples that I have made myself.

Kicking off the new academic year tomorrow with a hands-on making session . . . a group of teachers have asked me to help them explore fossils through 3D making. It's a bit like asking the Cookie Monster to do training about biscuits. 😆😆😆

The Pacman Nebula, officially known as NGC 281, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is named for its resemblance to the classic 1980s video game character. This vast cloud of ionized gas is a star-forming region located approximately 9,200 light-years away in our galaxy's Perseus Spiral Arm.

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest major spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way, located about 2.5 million light-years away. It is the largest and most massive member of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way, Andromeda, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 50 other smaller galaxies.

NGC 1027 is an open star cluster located in the constellation Cassiopeia. Discovered by William Herschel in 1787, it appears visually positioned between the famous Heart and Soul nebulae, though it is not physically associated with them

The Pleiades, or M45, is a dazzling open star cluster located in the constellation Taurus. Also known as the "Seven Sisters," this famous celestial object is one of the most visible star clusters and has captured the human imagination for millennia.

The colours of the universe! 8 hours of smart shooting overnight. Great to wake up and see what this little scope has captured and here they are now I've processed them. I've added AI descriptions in ALT so blame that if you disagree 🤣 #astronomy #astrophotography #StormHour #PhotoHour

It's called the Iris Nebula lol, it says that . But Jamie might be a nice change of pace!

Here’s our capture of NGC 7023 – the Iris Nebula 🌌.
Located about 1,300 light-years away in Cepheus, the Iris glows as starlight reflects off cosmic dust, illuminating the surrounding dark interstellar clouds.

🔭 What do you see when you look into the Iris?

The fog parted unexpectedly last night to give me two more hours to work on the galaxy NGC 7479. Two more hours is not much, but it's more than I expected. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Haha, really? I didn't know it was a popular profession

Thank you!

✨ The Cave Nebula (Sh2-155)
Captured over 21 hours of exposure time (and still adding more!), this cosmic cloud lies about 2,400 light-years away in Cepheus. Its dark dust lanes and glowing gas create the illusion of a celestial cave, where new stars are born. #astrophotography

It reminds me of the old doctors masks and it makes the hairs on my neck stand up

The pterodactyl 'pelican' still gives me the creeps, but it's a lovely image, haha

It's rare to be able to get 2 planets in the same field of view of my 4" telescope. Venus was dazzling at magnitude -4, with Jupiter very bright at mag -1.9, and they looked gorgeous against the dark blue twilight sky, hugging the treeline at only 10° altitude. This is a stack of 10 x 2 second exposures, which has given a largely noise-free image.

Jupiter and Venus at 4am this morning, against a sprinkling of Gemini stars

I missed out on their closest apparent approach, which was yesterday, but they'll remain very close together in the early Eastern sky for several days yet

3 moons of Jupiter are visible and labelled
