It is that time of year again!!!! #KopernikAstroFest. Come join us for the celebration of astronomy and the night sky! kopernikastro.org/astrofest/. October 3rd - 4th!!! #astronomy 🔭

NASA’s Tally of Planets Outside Our Solar System Reaches 6,000 - NASA The milestone highlights the accelerating rate of discoveries, just over three decades since the first exoplanets were found.

I missed this recently, but NASA & ESA recently announced they discovered the 6000th exoplanet confirmation. That seems amazing to me, and it was just yesterday there were 10. Very abundant indeed. The imagination runs wild with this.

Pregaming the Black Forest Star Party at Cherry Springs State Park, PA, and making huge progress on my target list. I need a bigger list... 😂. #starparty #astronony #visualobserving

Rest in peace Ben of the Narrowband Channel. Thank you for sharing your love of #Astrophotography.

Thank you so much!

This is a wide-ish angle view of the Milky Way Galaxy and the Southern most view of it. The milky way has tufts of dust, gas and stars in its spiral shape, and this shows the bands at their southernmost perch in August. There are at least 50 eye candy nebula, clusters, and other dark nebule in this view.

Here's what I worked on this weekend. The Summer Southern Milky Way! Using Canon R6, 70mm Zoom Lens @f/5.6, ISO 6400. A stack of 45sx10 frames, tracked on a Sky Guider. The data was captured at Cherry Springs State Park on 8/26. #astrophotography #astronomy #milkyway 🔭📷🌌 #stilllearning

Fantastic Scope. I observed through a club members 20" New Moon Telescope. Great to access to such optics!!!

Here is a wide field shot I took at Cherry Springs Star Party back in June. Just getting around to processing it. Shows a lot of the dynamic of a star party... Canon Ra mirrorless, f2.8,15s, ISO 6400. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭📷🌌

I was fortunate enough to see it at Cherry Spring State Park this weekend. Indeed could pick it out visually. A great site. And Congrats!!!

Citizen scientists help Warwick experts find exploding star Astronomers at the University of Warwick say members of the public spotted the explosion.

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, but I’ve been working on a project.
After 65 hours of integration, my largest and longest astro image to date is finally complete. This is a 4-panel mosaic of the Fighting Dragons of Ara 🐉🔥

The Moon at waxing gibbous phase on a dark background.

10 years ago tonight I was capturing a Waxing Gibbous Moon. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

Looks like Great Times!

A dusty field in space featuring a dark nebula shaped like a seahorse, the fireworks galaxy, and an open star cluster.

Grab the antihistamines. The dark seahorse nebula, Fireworks Galaxy, and an open star cluster (lower left), all squattin’ in a large field of molecular dust. Taken with my Takahashi Epsilon in SW New Mexico and processed by me in central Virginia. Giddyup. #astrophotography #photography

It doesn't get much better than a Cherry Springs Sunset on a clear night. The anticipation just adds to the dark sky effect of that park.

Same on the weather front. I think I have scored 7 nights in 2025. Cherry Springs has been well, sadly consistent so far. I did score some sucker hole and earl AM moon, Venus, Mercury binoc time. Here's to us both having a better second half of 2025! #Ckearskies!

A star field with a larger galaxy above a smaller one. The larger one has been deformed through the encounter and has a faint halo that hooks around to the right. These galaxies are 52 million ly away in Ursa Major.

I was hoping to be more prolific during galaxy season but the weather has not cooperated. I did get an LRGB capture of NGC 3817 & NGC 3829 through my 8” SCT at f/10. I need more L data to bring out the tidal halo better but it’s a good start.🔭 #Astrophotography

I think it sits at 2ish if memory, but chart shows it as 2/3. www.cleardarksky.com/lp/ChrSprPkP...

Yes being comfy helps a ton!!!

Looking forward to this year's #CherrySpringsStarParty #CSSP2025 I came a day early to work out the kinks on my new astro-camper. Had a rainstorm, but was able to do some binoculars observing in the sucker holes that passed through with the clouds! Ready to go! Bring on those clear skies. #astronomy

Thanks!

Same....

Sadly tonight, clouds are rolling in and hiding a perfectly wonderful Aurora display (Kp=7). But alas, I can still see some color through the clouds... 🔭📷 #astrophotography

On vacation and have not processed full data sets yet, but had a great night! Some #SeeStar and ASIAir/Redcat action going on here. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭📷
