The Tadpoles in Auriga shot in narrow band SHO (Sulfur, Hydrogen, Oxygen) from my backyard during last night's #Astrophotography 🔭📷 session. Slightly psychedelic colors but I like those 🫠. The stars are RGB though. Am I spot on @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

Fantastic job, great contrast with the surrounding area 🤩

Caldwell 12

The Fireworks Galaxy is a face-on spiral galaxy in Cygnus, about 21 million ly away, and is best observed end of July.

Very nice! 👍

Merci beaucoup ! ☺️

Yes that’s true, it was my longest project so far. I’ll add another 12 hours next year to catch up with you 😁😉

W63 - AstroBin An image on AstroBin.

🔭W63 is a supernova remnant located in Cygnus. This narrowband image shows Ha, OIII and SII emissions. This object is large and very faint, I needed more than 70 hours of exposure time overall.

Amazing image! What an effort 👏

The Ghost of Cassiopeia nebula shot with a 130mm Astro-Physics refractor and a dedicated cooled Poseidon-M monochrome astronomy camera. Filters used were RGB Antlia V-Pro filters for the RGB stars, and Baader 6.5nm narrow band H-alpha and OIII filters for the emission lines of hydrogen and oxygen. Narrowband images : 139x120s for H-alpha, 109x120s for OIII. RGB images : 60x30s for each RGB channel.

The bane of all #astrophotography 🔭 📷 amateurs is stars throwing a tantrum right next to tiny, delicate, nebulae...Navi is such a star, glowing from just beyond the top left corner of this image of the Ghost of Cassiopeia #IC63 I shot from my backyard 🙂. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Amazing image and delicate processing. Great work! 👏🤩

Thank you so much, Katherine! Glad you like it 😊

Galaxie spirale NGC 4725

Voici NGC 4725, une belle galaxie spirale dans la Chevelure de Bérénice ! C'est pas la saison ? Haha oui, ce sont mes photos d'avril que je viens de traiter 😅
N'est-elle pas tout mignonne ?

#astrophotography 🔭

Mieux vaut tard que jamais 😅 C’est une belle galaxie 👏🤩

Probably more fish like because there already is a proper seahorse nebula 🤷‍♂️

Thank you! 🙂 Yes, Hyperstar never ceases to amaze me!

Thanks a lot! 🙂 And agreed that the name is apt, it really looks like a decaying fish!

Merci beaucoup, Martial ! ☺️

Thanks a lot, Phillip! 🙂 I’m always trying to aim for targets down here that are nearly impossible to shoot from Braunschweig due to the light pollution. The skies on a moonless night are simply amazing here and the efficiency of Hyperstar adds to that.

Thanks you, Clément! 🙂

Thanks a lot, Julien!

LDN 1251 is a dark nebula in the constellation of Cepheus. It consists of cosmic molecular clouds and dust blocking the stars. Its form resembles a fish hence the name. But I doubt that anyone verified its smell yet 😅

LDN 1251 The Rotten Fish Nebula captured from my dark site in southern France this month 🇫🇷 😊🔭

This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a total integration time of about 4 hours using an OSC cam with just the UV/IR-Cut filter.

@kat-astro-bot.bsky.social‬ what do you see?

Just finished processing my HaLRGB image of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

At ~2.5 million light years away, Andromeda is our nearest spiral neighbour. The pink regions mark hydrogen-rich star-forming nebulae, while the dusty lanes and bright core reveal stunning depth.

#Astrophotography #Andromeda

Fantastic work! 👏

Trifecta. Bat and Squid nebulae are front and center(ish). The top of B150 (Dark Seahorse) is at the right edge. The bat flies about 2,400 light years away. ~80 hours of data collected in 4 wideband and 2 narrowband filters with my scope in SW New Mexico. #astrophotography #photography

Amazing shot! 👏

Beautiful image! 🤩

Thanks a lot! It’s a beautiful target, isn’t it! 🙂

In fact that’s even a comparatively short integration time for me 😅 Shooting with Hyperstar at f/2 is very fast. I’ve spent 58h on my last project of WR 134 which was shot without Hyperstar with a longer focal length at f/7

Thanks a lot, glad you like it! 🙂
