I do deep sky #astrophotography from StarFront Observatories!

Not many new images this year but I have reprocessed a lot of data from previous years now I have bought #PixInsight the only new ones are the Elephants Trunk Nebula and the Soul Nebula. The weather has been so bad this year #Astrophotography

This is my first astrophotography image of 2025—The Jellyfish Nebula, about 5K light years away in the constellation Gemini. This is a supernova remnant, which is what remains of a star that exploded 30K-35K years ago. Total exposure time is 30 hrs and 5 mins.

Backyard VS Observatory: The Rosette Nebula. Check out the difference between images taken from my backyard and from a remote observatory with the same equipment! #astrophotography #astronomy #photography

I shot this image of a portion of the Taurus molecular cloud (TMC-1) between the constellations Taurus and Auriga, featuring the Baby Eagle Nebula on the bottom left.The 2nd image has the stars removed. This image took me about two weeks to put together for a total exposure time of 24 hours.

I felt that I could do a better edit of my Pleiades Star Cluster image from StarFront Observatories, so here’s the before and after. Which one do you like more?

Last night's Jupiter! C14, QHY678m, EQ8Rh-Pro, Esatto Robotic Focuser. Stacked in AS!3, Wavelets in Astrosurface, Derotated with WinJupos. No Barlow, just native! Behind the scenes video on the capture here : www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CM3...

Here’s my latest image from StarFront Observatories. The Cone Nebula and Christmas Tree Cluster in the constellation Monoceros. Total integration time is 32 hrs 5 min.

Exact same astrophotography gear. Two different locations. The first image is from my light-polluted backyard. The second is from StarFront Observatories under skies with virtually no light pollution. It makes that much of a difference. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space #galaxy

Here’s my latest image from StarFront Observatories. From left to right: The Flaming Star Nebula, The Tadpoles Nebula, and the Spider Nebula in the constellation Auriga. This is a total integration time of 24 hours and 15 minutes. #astrophotography #astronomy #space #universe #photography

From left to right: The Flaming Star Nebula, The Tadpoles Nebula, and the Spider Nebula. This is an 8 hr exposure with a hydrogen alpha filter. I need to shoot with two more filters capturing light from ionized oxygen and sulfur so I can produce a colored image. #photography #astrophotography

October 10, 2024. I never imagined experiencing two major aurora events within such a short amount of time, much less EXACTLY 5 months apart. I got these shots from Las Cruces, NM. It was a night I’ll never forget. #aurora #astrophotography #space #photography #astronomy

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS setting over west El Paso in October when it was at its brightest. I’m glad we got to experience this literal once-in-a-lifetime experience as it won’t return for another 80,000 years. #comet #space #astronomy #astrophotography #astronomy #photography

One of my favorite deepsky images because of the dust and hydrogen gas connecting the Flaming Star Nebula IC 405 (1500 light years distant), the Tadpole Nebula IC 410 (12,400 light years distant), and the Spider Nebula IC 417 (10,000 light years distant).

This is one of my older images of the Cone Nebula in the constellation Monoceros, a winter favorite among astrophotographers. I’ll be aiming for an updated image this year from the observatory. #astrophotography #photography #space #universe #stars #astronomy

This is a 2-panel mosaic of the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula in the constellation Cygnus, using the HOO color palette. This was a project I’d been wanting to knock out for the summer and I finally got it. #photography #astrophotography #space #stars #astronomy

This is my second image from StarFront Observatories. The amount of detail it took me to capture in such a short amount of time blows my mind. This is an area of the Sadr region in the constellation Cygnus that caught my eye so I aimed and started imaging. #astrophotography #photography #space

THIS is the difference a dark sky makes! Check out the dramatic comparison between two images I shot of the Pleiades star cluster from my light polluted backyard and from StarFront Observatories for the first time. #astrophotography #astronomy #space #universe #photography

This is the third of three final images I shot from my light polluted backyard before relocating my #astrophotography equipment to StarFront Observatories. The Cygnus Loop: a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. This is about 33 hours of integration time.

This is the second of the three final images I took from my backyard before relocating my #astrophotography equipment to StarFront Observatories, a 2-panel mosaic of the Heart Nebula and the Soul Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. IIRC total integration time was 48.5 hrs.

Here’s the first of three final images from my backyard before I sent my astrophotography equipment off to StarFront Observatories. The Andromeda Galaxy. Our closest galactic neighbor 2.5 million light years away. Total integration time for this was 24 hours. #astrophotography #astronomy #space

Check out my latest video of my experience capturing my very first #astrophotography mosaic. My next video is already in production so be on the lookout for that.

This is a mosaic of the Sadr Region in the constellation Cygnus that I imagedover the course of 24 nights, showing an area that’s about 14x wider than a full moon relative to our POV. The third slide illustrates the panels I imaged. Total exposure time: 39 hrs, 45 mins.
