Two Wolf-Rayets for the Price of One - WR134 and NGC6888 - AstroBin An image on AstroBin.

Full resolution and acquisition details here:
www.astrobin.com/7yx3r1/

a nebulous region of space in the constellation Cygnus, with red and blue wispy nebulosity throughout, and two main features: the crescent nebula, a nebula that looks like a brain with a blue shell in the upper left hand corner, and WR134, a blue, circular nebula in the bottom right hand corner

Catching up on editing some images. This is a cool region in the constellation Cygnus with two Wolf-Rayet stars, the ever-popular Crescent Nebula, aka NGC6888, in the top left and WR134 in the bottom right.

a bright pinkish red region of space vaguely resembling a butterfly, fading to a more blue and pink region in the bottom of the photo

Been a bit lazy about editing photos lately, but finally decided to finish one up.

M8 and M20 - The Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae - AstroBin Bright objects + dark skies are almost a cheat code, making objects like this an easy LRGB target

Full resolution and acquisition details here:

a nebulous region of the Milky Way, with a blue nebula with a pink core in the bottom left (the Trifid Nebula), a pink region in the top middle (the Lagoon Nebula), which fades into a more yellow/brown region of the Milky Way core in the upper right

Another quick project now that the weather is finally getting better. M8 and M20, the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae in LRGB. Dark skies and bright objects are basically a cheat code, making targets like this almost easy.

a dusty region near the Milky Way band, with a bright blue reflection nebula on the left and bright yellow on the right, with a dark nebula splitting the two

Another from Starfront Observatories, part of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex.

Been a slow spring for astro but I finally got around to finishing an image. 75hrs on Messier 83, a very tough target from the northern hemisphere as it is pretty low in the sky.

Sh2-284 - An Interesting Region in Monoceros - AstroBin An interesting object that reminds me of another Sharpless object, the Lion Nebula, with its distinctive separation between an Oiii heavy region and an Ha heavy region.

A red and blue nebula in the constellation Monoceros, with a distinctive blue region and a lot of surrounding red nebulosity

My latest from Starfront Remote Observatories, Sh2-284

The main object in this image, Sh2-284, is interesting object that reminds me of another Sharpless object, the Lion Nebula, with its distinctive separation between an Oiii heavy region and an Ha heavy region

Double Sunrise: Like headlights through the fog, a rare sight through the morning's murk and mire. The crescent tips of an eclipsed sun break the horizon simultaneously, giving the illusion of two rising.

just for the record, I have a zero-tolerance policy towards transphobia and if I see it in my mentions it's an instant block.

Last night's full moon, before the eclipse and during totality, plus a view of my telescope pointing at the blood moon

a nearly full moon

Tonight's moon, getting ready for the eclipse tomorrow night
#astrophotography

Oh it definitely won't get here before then, but I've got a planetary camera that will probably work better for that anyway

Thanks! This was a stack of the best 50% of 3000 frames. Helps a lot for sharpening it up

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I won a William Optics GT71 by getting 4th place in the William Optics astrophotography competition? Cuz I did that

Getting the GT71 ready for imaging but still waiting on the camera I ordered to ship, so hey, why not have a Moon pic

IC 2177 - A Seagull in Space An astrophotograph by Jonathan on AstroBin

Full resolution and acquisition details here:
www.astrobin.com/o330rx/

a large emission nebula roughly resembling a seagull, with the wings and head a reddish color, while the "feathers" of the wings blend into more of a light blue

Keeping with the theme of "nebula that vaguely resemble animals", next up is the Seagull Nebula.

This large emission nebula is in the constellation Monoceros and has several interesting features throughout, including a couple small planetary nebulae.

this encapsulates what all of this administration is about. they aren’t “accidentally” destroying departments. they are intentionally destroying the government so they can become the government. the only issue they have with the system is they don’t profit from it or control it

IC 1396 Elephant's Trunk Nebula - SHO with RGB Stars An astrophotograph by Jonathan on AstroBin

original SHO version and acquisition details here:
www.astrobin.com/5qevv4/

a large red nebula with a feature resembling an Elephant Trunk

Been a slow February for #astrophotography, so I went back and reprocessed my Elephant Trunk data, this time in an HOO palette instead of the SHO palette I previously did
