Amplifying the call from Marc Delcroix and co. over the weekend: the team are looking to verify/refute a potential impact on #Saturn on July 5th, 09:00-09:15UT. Videos taken by amateur observers at that time might hold the key. This 📸 credit: Mario Rana

So this happened less than a foot away from me this morning. I can’t decide if the soundtrack should be Mortal Kombat or Let’s Get It On. #hummingbirds #birds #nature #naturephotography

There was a total lunar eclipse the other day. I was very excited to see it and potentially get a few photos. Unfortunately, because there was an interesting astronomical event, NJ weather obliged as it usually does.

Still haven't gotten the rig outside. Here's an image I did of NGC 3718. It's a rather interesting galaxy, reminiscent of Centauras A. Just over 17 hours LRGB with my 8" EdgeHD and 294MM Pro.

What got me into #astrophotography? Sitting in my backyard taking pictures of various wildlife like this #downywoodpecker catching a meal. Captured with my #Lumix G9 at 400mm, f/8, ISO 1600, 1/60s.

No new photons of my own. However, @sadrastro.com provided a dataset of the #northamericanebula and #pelicannebula taken at their remote observatory. Also, www.setiastro.com just released the "Perfect Palette Picker" tool. Here's the image I created.

In the center of the #heartnebula lies Melotte 15, a young cluster of stars whose stellar winds and radiation give rise to the fantastic cloud formations and structure. 8.5 hours of Ha/Oiii data taken with my 8" EdgeHD and 294MM Pro.

This is a target I go back to nearly every winter. Bode's Galaxy (M81) shot with my 8" EdgeHD, 294MM Pro and Chroma LRGB filters. To the left is Holmberg IX. This is about 16.5 hours taken over a few nights in February of 2023.

Happy New Year everyone!
Ugh. 2024 can’t end soon enough. My mother passed away on Sunday. Today I was informed by the company I’ve worked with for the past 5 years that there just wasn’t anything in the pipeline for me in 2025 and they were terminating my contract. So, now I’m looking for work.

Here's something a little closer to home. I took this image of #Jupiter in 2022. Image is composed of the best 25% from each of 5x90" SER files. Stacked in AS!3, wavelets in R6 and de-rotation in WinJUPOS. 8" EdgeHD with a 2x Televue Barlow and 662MC.

Here is one of the very first deep sky images I took. No fancy telescope or mount or filters. Just my Panasonic Lumix G9 with a Leica 50-200 f/2.8-4 zoom lens on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer back in 2020. 4.5 hours of data.
