I captured the Andromeda Galaxy with an integration time of seven hours and forty-five minutes. I just finished processing it. 😊

A beautiful zone surrounding the massive Antares star located in the Scorpious constellation.

Taken in Atacama using Askar V telescopes and ZWO ASI2600MC pro cameras, in collaboration with @cybertron-astrophoto.com.

I didn't disagree with anything you stated. You're correct, but her going too hard at Biden came off as she was attacking Obama's record, which didn't go very well with the base and party when Obama was too popular at that moment

She unfortunately screwed up by going against the record of a very popular dem president in 2019. The black caucus had to bring her behind close doors to stop it. That debate was unfortunately her undoing

So my piece of good news: my shot of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was shortlisted for the @dias.ie Reach For The Stars #astrophotography competition again.

It's up for the public vote alongside absolutely fantastic competition: I'd obviously love your vote!

I took a second pass at the data and took a slightly different approach with the processing. Let me know what you think.

Snapped this image of the North America Nebula last night! 🌌 Located in the Cygnus constellation, this massive emission nebula gets its name from its uncanny resemblance to the shape of North America. It lies about 1,700 light-years away and stretches over 100 light-years across

To anyone that might be interested. Highpoint has the Askar V for 46% off. Crazy deal

There’s no known (to me) catalog designation, but this is a cloud of molecular dust in Ursa Major. This image is the result of about 32 hours of integration time using ~800 sub-exposures. Taken with my Takahashi Epsilon in Southwest New Mexico. #astrophotography #photography

M13 The Great Hercules Globular Cluster. Just imagine standing on a planet inside that cluster… the night sky would be lit up like a cosmic fireworks show every single night. Mind. Blown. 🀯✨🌌

I'm still new and learning the world of astrophotography. I was just curious as to what the benefits of using the red filter on your moon imaging were 😊

This is so cool... This is some of the amazing scientific stuff I would like to eventually do with my telescopes
Transit of #exoplanet WD 1856+534 b across its white dwarf host star.

An unusual system where we see a small white dwarf star partially occulted by a giant planet every 1.4 days, resulting in a much deeper decrease in brightness than most exoplanet transits.

I monitored the large sunspot AR4079 this morning for 3.5 hours in h-alpha. Caught some minor flares and small filament eruptions. The small prominence in the lower right put on a short but good show. I was hoping for more excitement but a watched sunspot never explodes! #astrophotography

At last! The Thor's Helmet image is in the bag -- not perfect, could always use more data and tweaks, but after working on nothing else since mid-January...I think it's done! Supernova remnant in hydrogen and oxygen, RGB stars. 8" RC telescope.
