ic405 - The Flaming Star Nebula. I had fun framing it this way - It reminds me of a dragon. See it? HaRGB palette with about 8.5 hours worth of exposure time. Wide distribution of filters for each exposure group. Details are in the alt text.

At 5.15pm GMT today, the Earth will be at perihelion, the closest point to the Sun in our annual round.
This should be the start of the year. Happy new orbit, everyone!

Wonderful contrast on that Two things I get when I look at your photos. The contrast is amazing, and you really show of the spatial depth of the object. These are two things I'm motivated to get better at in 2026. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

The Crescent Nebule (NGC 6888). I never tire of imaging this object and the surrounding area..

I missed this recently, but NASA & ESA recently announced they discovered the 6000th exoplanet confirmation. That seems amazing to me, and it was just yesterday there were 10. Very abundant indeed. The imagination runs wild with this.

Here's what I worked on this weekend. The Summer Southern Milky Way! Using Canon R6, 70mm Zoom Lens @f/5.6, ISO 6400. A stack of 45sx10 frames, tracked on a Sky Guider. The data was captured at Cherry Springs State Park on 8/26. #astrophotography #astronomy #milkyway ππ·π #stilllearning
