Hello everyone! Great to be here, I'm Ben, also known as bbroastro.
I'm a deep sky astrophotographer, but also capture the solar system and aurora! I've been doing this since 2018.
Here are a few of my images all captured from my garden

Soooo, I’ve been sent this beautiful telescope to test out (when the skies finally clear!)
Initial impressions - build quality is wonderful and the factory fitted options are so good!

Nice article about comet C/2025 F2 (SWAN) - A new comet discovered in spacecraft images is bright enough to make you get out of bed before dawn. #Astronomy #Astrophotography skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-ne...
New Comet SWAN Now Visible in Small Scopes

Today’s partial eclipse phases as seen from my garden telescope in England, UK!
10am - 11:08am
I’m so thankful it stayed clear, it was such a wonderful morning 🥳☺️

Today’s partial solar eclipse! Woohooo!!
So glad I managed to capture this, I cannot tell you how anxious I was checking the forecasts and radars for the last two weeks 😭

Great night out doing astronomy last night 🤩✨🙌 seeing the planets lined up in an arc was lovely!
I did some deep sky imaging capturing galaxies, dark nebulae & did a live stream of Jupiter & Mars 🔭

I can't believe it has already been 4 years since the Perseverance rover landed on Mars! #planetsci
The rover was equipped with six engineering camera that captured more than 26.000 images during the landing!

Faint integrated flux nebula see around Polaris, the North Star ✨
This dusty region is lit up by our own Milky Way galaxy. The integrated flux of all the stars is enough to light up this faint dust

This won't just be about polar alignment, but I also capture 3 photos!

Mars at opposition, January 16th 2025.
Mars is much smaller than it was in 2018/2020, but I was still able to resolve clouds and detail on the Martian surface 🙌🔭
Photographed from my garden with a (pretty big) telescope

Mars rotation.
Mars has a day length almost the same as the Earth, at about 23.5 hrs.
I made this video from nearly 100 separate images, taken over a period of over 4 hrs. I've speeded it up to show the rotation, and plays at about 3660x real-time speed.

WARNING: Could induce an allergic reaction.
Welcome to Taurus, where there happens to be tons of molecular dust. Thirty-six hours of cumulative exposure time over several nights. Taken with my Takahashi Banana™ telescope in a remote observatory with very dark skies. #astrophotography #photography

Now onto a target I've wanted to capture for quite a long time!
The Tadpoles Nebula is really cool and with my telescope setup, I can get up close and personal with it.
