Another take of the #TotalLunarEclipse last night. Super thankful for a bit of good weather in the middle of a bunch of rain.

I'm fascinated by this music/video made with AI to tell the story of mixing AI with Human art. All of the broken AI that would normally be distracting is part of the story...

4c and rainy in #PalmSprings last night means snow in the hills.

I grabbed a #Timelapse out at #GMARS this weekend, and threw together a quick #StartTrails from the same clip. Fun to watch it build.

A while ago I made some #StarTrails images, and I also made this video of them forming. The video shows all of the scars from the planes and satellites forming, where in the resulting image that can be stripped out.

So many #Nebula call for a creature or thing seems pretty arbitrary. The #PelicanNebula actually seems to make sense to me from this angle.

In the core of the #ElephantTrunkNebula there is this silhouette that looks more like a person than an elephant to me. Captured in #OneShotColor this target comes through mostly red. In Narrowband these other colors are revealed. #LAAS #Astro #Astrophoto #Astrophotography #Space #ZWO

The #WizardNebula captured with cooled, color #Astrophotography camera. These tend to provide simple color palettes, mostly in red where they see #Hydrogen with a bit of blue where they see #Oxygen.

The #LagoonNebula is the perfect target to look for after Orion and Andromeda. Its fairly bright and has a lot of detail for many different #Telescope sizes.

Imaging and processing images of space things is a bit of a journey. I was trying to understand what focal length was better for #M13 the #GlobularCluster in #Hercules, and found a way to get more from my data. 1700mm on the left, and 710mm on the right. #LAAS #Astro #Astrophoto #Astrophotography

Another #StarTrail image from near the Celestial Equator. A full circle would be 24 hours, so this would have been 8-9 hours (a full night) with the shutter open as much as possible. #LAAS #Astro #Astrophoto #StarTrails #Space #StarStax

Because of the wobbly air we tend to use video compressed down to a single frame for tighter crops of the #Moon. It's a bit like looking through water when the 'Seeing' is bad, but that 'wobble' is averaged out with the many frames in the video. #LAAS #Astro #Astrophotography #Lunar #Space

Many of these #Astrophotography images are actually captured with #Monochrome Cameras. A filter is used to gather specific spectrums that are later merged into a single image.

For #ValentinesDay it seems appropriate to share this image of the #HeartNebula. It's a #Nebula I have shared before with different framing from different #telescopes, but I love this shot because it shows the details in the middle so well. #LAAS #Astro #Astrophoto #Space #Love #Valentines
