LDN1235, the Shark Nebula. This was the most challenging target that I've ever attempted - 8 hours total over 4 nights during summer in southern England. WO Guidestar 61 with Uranus C Pro camera, infiltered. My FOV was a bit too small for this - the whole shark is up there! #astrophotography

I've just signed up for the astronomy feeds, so I'm replying to my own post, so it appears there (hopefully!) #astrophotography

I'm an astrophotographer and member of my local astronomical society. Although my main tool is a 61mm apo refractor, I like to experiment with my long focal length scope and vintage camera lenses.

Hi all. This is my first post on Bluesky. But of an experiment, this one: North American and Pelican Nebulae taken with my PlayerOne Uranus C Pro, on a vintage Takumar 135mm M42 lens. Zwo duo band and UVIR cut filters. I struggled with haloes a bit. Processed in Pixinsight. #astrophotography

Personally, I'd spend a lot less money and buy a Pi4 or 5, and load it with either Astroberry or Astroarch build, both of which come either KSTARS/EKOS and Phd2. I've used both builds and prefer AstroArch.
