We started photographing the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae fairly late in the Milky Way season, but I'm still pleased with how the final images turned out.

Proof of life! @anackenoff.bsky.social and I spent the summer imaging M17 a.k.a the Omega (or Swan) Nebula.

Tony was diagnosed with GI disease a little over a week ago and was rushed to the ER today after what the doc has determined was likely a stroke.

😮‍💨 His GI diagnosis cost over $1400 and today’s ER visit cost almost $500.

It took twenty-four clear nights and more Pixelmath than I anticipated to generate this image of the Triangulum Galaxy. Fortunately, I had enough narrowband data to isolate and combine the HA signal with the stacked RGB subs.

Library worker here and just want to say that there’s so much you’re not getting out of your library.

Most libraries carry non-traditional items (Super Nintendo’s to telescopes and sewing machines). most offer computers with adobe suite and recording software. All free.

My goal is to make this HUGE here and on Threads so that I don’t even have to log into Twitter on the day of the event. TELL EVERYONE!!!
Hey everyone, especially #StarWars fans! On November 14th I am going to hold my first fan event on this platform. It's my hope that people find some fun and are inspired to get creative.

#VentressDay celebrates a character I relate to deeply because she is a survivor.

Here's our latest astrophotography project as an apology for disappearing for the last four months.

I'm back. As a quick update, I accepted a curatorial position earlier this year in DC.
It's been a while, folks. I'm going on a brief hiatus/deactivation, but I will be back.

Pulling off CLARITY on human tissue was a lot of fun, though full credit goes to the rest of the authors who really got the project going after I handed it off

It’s gratifying to see the results of Alex’s initial work on making human brain tissue transparent.

The Horsehead and Flame Nebulae
For my final edits, I selected a "natural" palette, as we would have needed significantly more imaging time to gather enough blue/green data to create a synthetic HOO channel required for the Foraxx Palette.

To process our Rosette Nebula images, I opted to use the Foraxx Palette. Its dynamic color range highlights the Rosette’s regions of dark nebulosity.

Here's a quick look at the raw data (only a light background extraction was applied in SIRIL) from one of our projects as the winter season winds down. As always, it's astonishing how well our filters and camera handle the light pollution.

@anackenoff.bsky.social and I are still gathering data for our Horsehead and Flame Nebulae project, but here is a preview of what we have collected so far.

The resulting level of detail is astonishing given NYC’s light pollution.

We chose NGC 2174 as one of our first targets to test out the Poseidon-C Pro, and we couldn't be happier with the initial results.

After submitting a ticket to the SIRIL team on GitLab, it appears this issue is a bug triggered by my image's data exceeding SIRIL's max range of 255. The devs are working on fixing it, and they kindly provided a workaround in the interim (see ticket comments): gitlab.com/free-astro/s...
Are there any fellow astrophotographers using the Player One Poseidon-C Pro who have experienced histogram issues after running their file through StarNet in SIRIL?
