The Sculptor galaxy
We seem to be in the cloudy sky season lately. A couple nights ago, I took advantage of few hours of clear skies and took an image of this galaxy. It looks good without any post-processing I think.

It was quite an Auroras show last night in Minnesota. Did not need to go to a dark sky site, just by the front porch

On July 26, I attended a star party at a Bortle 4 site.It was a nice crisp night, but a bit dewy. I observed/imaged one my favorite nebulae: The Trifid Nebula, what a beauty!
This is out of an Unistellar eVscope2 without any further processing.

After a long strech of cloudy and rainy days, we got one night of clear skies (hoo hoo). I managed to observe few of the summer nebulae hanging just barely above the trees line. These are straight out of my eVscope2, no post processing.

We are happy the Eastern Blue bird is nesting in our garden. What a beautiful bird

Beautiful night!
We had a nice warm (unseasonably for Minnesota) night for stargazing. I managed to image two objetcs with my eVscope2. These are unedited.
The Lower Sword in Orion is becoming one of my favorites, look at these bright blue stars

Finally we are having few clear nights, yay! Although it is still cold. I don't mind :-)
I managed to capture few images last night with my eVscope2

As we say goodbye to 2024, I thought I's share few of my favorite astro images. I captured these using an eVscope2 - no post-processing at all.

Happy New year to all, may 2025 bring you joy and peace!

Fossilized corals on Pinel Island/St Martin in the Caribbeans. One whole beach was littered with these fossilised sea creatures. Amazing.

I had a staring contest with this fellow the other day, and...I lost.

November and December have been very cloudy in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. During a 2 hours clear sky teaser last night, I managed to image the Running Man Nebula. Taken using an eVscope2, without any further processing.

Eastern Veil Nebula
Last night, we had few hours of clear skies. It was cold though, (7F, -13C) but, fortunately, the telescope was outside and I was inside the glass door 😊
From a Bortle 7 suburb using an eVscope2, unedited. It is beautiful as is I think.

The Hunter is back. Great Orion Nebula
Just an 8 minutes exposure in a Bortle 6 Suburb of Minneapolis. Not bad.
