Photography and Astrophotography

Hello Bluesky

My first post here

I do a lot of #photography, especially #astrophotography, a follow would be greatly appreciated if you like this kind of stuff

Here's some photos I took on my recent trip to Iceland:
M1, the Crab Nebula.

I captured this nebula on two different telescopes, the first image being a composite.

I shot the second image over 50 minutes using ROSA, the remote telescope at @theuniversityofsheffield.

The third image was shot on my telescope at home, over 7 hours and 50 minutes.

This is a nebula in the Cygnus constellation, and is a remnant of a supernova from 10-20,000 years ago.

It lies 2400 light years away, and is 3 degrees in diameter.

M27. The Dumbbell Nebula. This is a Planetary nebula.

This nebula is 1360 light years away, with a radius of 1.01 ly, meaning it is about 9800 years old.

The light blue areas of the image are ionised Oxygen (OIII). The orange areas of the image are ionised Hydrogen (Hα)

So here's a photo I've wanted to take for years.

M16, the Eagle Nebula.

This is a star forming region in the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way.

It lies approximately 5700 light years from Earth, and currently there are over 8100 stars forming in the nebula.

My first astrophotography shoot in 3 months.

This is M12, a globular cluster, approximately 16,000 Light Years from Earth.
It has a radius of 37.2 light years, and is a collection of high-mass stars, having had its lower mass stars stripped from it by the Milky Way
