Some m81/82 data that I'm working on. I gathered about 14 hours of data from many scopes and many sessions over the years. I should have been pickier about grabbing sharper data, and what is that odd blue flare there below m81? Well fun project for the day either way. #astrophotography 🔭 📷
So how late in the the year do we need to get to negotiate healthcare? The Dems have this angle @GOP. We are now at November for 2026 topics. Cmon, bend my little bendies! #shutdown

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 🔭📷🌌 #stilllearning

Here is a wide field shot I took at Cherry Springs Star Party back in June. Just getting around to processing it. Shows a lot of the dynamic of a star party... Canon Ra mirrorless, f2.8,15s, ISO 6400. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭📷🌌

After 65 hours of integration, my largest and longest astro image to date is finally complete. This is a 4-panel mosaic of the Fighting Dragons of Ara 🐉🔥

Grab the antihistamines. The dark seahorse nebula, Fireworks Galaxy, and an open star cluster (lower left), all squattin’ in a large field of molecular dust. Taken with my Takahashi Epsilon in SW New Mexico and processed by me in central Virginia. Giddyup. #astrophotography #photography

It doesn't get much better than a Cherry Springs Sunset on a clear night. The anticipation just adds to the dark sky effect of that park.

I was hoping to be more prolific during galaxy season but the weather has not cooperated. I did get an LRGB capture of NGC 3817 & NGC 3829 through my 8” SCT at f/10. I need more L data to bring out the tidal halo better but it’s a good start.🔭 #Astrophotography

Looking forward to this year's #CherrySpringsStarParty #CSSP2025 I came a day early to work out the kinks on my new astro-camper. Had a rainstorm, but was able to do some binoculars observing in the sucker holes that passed through with the clouds! Ready to go! Bring on those clear skies. #astronomy

The Bubble Nebula NGC 7635 in the constellation Cassiopeia at a distance of 7100 light years. The bubble is created by a hot young star causing the surrounding gasses to glow. This is a multi-spectral narrow band photograph where Hydrogen are reds, and Oxygen are blues.
