Snapped this image of the North America Nebula last night! 🌌 Located in the Cygnus constellation, this massive emission nebula gets its name from its uncanny resemblance to the shape of North America. It lies about 1,700 light-years away and stretches over 100 light-years across

To anyone that might be interested. Highpoint has the Askar V for 46% off. Crazy deal

M13 The Great Hercules Globular Cluster. Just imagine standing on a planet inside that cluster… the night sky would be lit up like a cosmic fireworks show every single night. Mind. Blown. 🤯✨🌌

Weekend imaging project of the Jellyfish Nebula... A supernova remnant in the constellation Gemini, roughly 5,000 light-years from Earth

I'm just an infant when it comes to this hobby... But I can only imagine the frustration of astronomers and scientist with all the satellites orbiting Earth. Nothing like satellite trails to kill an imaging exposure 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

Was able to image some cool features from the surface of the sun this weekend. I still have a lot to learn, but enjoying the journey. Been loving the clear skies the last few days 😁

Picture of the Monkey Head Nebula I was able to take with my Seestar, after finally getting a break from the cloud cover. STILL trying to get my rig going, but the Seestar will have to hold me over till then

help #astrophotography community 😭 I can't figure what's going wrong. Everytime I try to image, I get this exposure with these circles. Everytime I that everything apart, nothing is obstructing from what I can tell. I've yet to be able to graduate from my Seestar and use my new imaging gear

My first solar image attempt with my Lunt S50. Still trying to learn how to fine tune the focus. #astrophotography
