Hi team! I just started my Black Friday sale on my photo shop. Sometimes canvas and aluminum prints take a little longer to deliver, so starting early to make sure they’re on time for Christmas! Here are some samples of what’s on my site! www.etsy.com/shop/robotsh...

My newest image of the Elephant Trunk Nebula and the IC 1396 region is built from nearly 1000 individual deep-sky exposures totaling 81 hours of integration time.

The long integration reveals the full structure of a collapsing molecular cloud inside a giant H II region about 2,400 light-years away.

I don’t see Rudy, is he sick tonight or something

Dot wants in on the comfy action. She jumped into the chair with the pile of pillows and couldn’t get out after her nap 😂

I had this

After nearly a month under the stars and 46 hours of exposure, here’s my final image of the Lion Nebula (Sh2-132).

I received my Wizard Nebula aluminum test print today and my word. The detail on aluminum over canvas is striking. It costs slightly more but man, it’s worth it. It’s so clear.

Oxygen Emission
• Pockets of ionized oxygen gas (OIII)
• Adds faint teal tones
• Marks areas of intense radiation
September 18, 2025 at 2:26 PM
Dark Nebulae
• Cold, dusty clouds blocking starlight
• Appear as dark rivers against the glow
• Raw material for future stars
September 18, 2025 at 2:26 PM
IC 1318 (Gamma Cygni Nebula)
• Vast clouds of hydrogen gas glowing red
• Energized by nearby massive stars
• A stellar nursery in action
September 18, 2025 at 2:26 PM
NGC 6910 Cluster
• A young open cluster near Sadr
• Stars only a few million years old
• Shining hot and blue against the nebula
September 18, 2025 at 2:26 PM
The Star Sadr (γ Cygni)
• A yellow-white supergiant, 150× the Sun’s size
• So bright it lights up the entire region

My newest space photo! The Sadr Region is part of the Cygnus molecular complex, one of the richest star-forming areas in the Milky Way. Studying it reveals how stars are born, live, and die. Check each post in this thread and read some fun facts below about what you’re seeing in this photo.

Please use the official photo going forward. Thank you.

I used this pan to cook dinner tonight. It’s 115-129 years old and you’d never be able to tell.

I’ve spent the last few weeks adding sulfur to my wizard nebula shot and…WOW. I’m glad I took the time.

Got a “new” skillet today! Wagner arc logo, number 8. Made between 1896-1910.

Hi everyone! I have finished my annual design for Utes game day shirts! Comes in any size, adults or kids and also has a hoodie version. I also made some matching vinyl stickers for your car windows or whatever you wanna stick them on. Slide into those DM’s if you’re interested!

Wizard Nebula! 7,000 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus, this glowing cloud of hydrogen and dust is lit by newborn stars just 4 million years old. It’s both an emission nebula and an open star cluster—a stellar nursery where future suns are forming inside dark, finger-like Bok globules.

Meet my newest photo, the Crescent Nebula! Floating about 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, it was formed by fierce stellar winds from a massive star (WR 136) rapidly shedding its outer layers, just before it inevitably collapses in on itself.

My newest space photo!

The Eastern Veil Nebula (NGC 6992) is a gorgeous tangle of ionized gas and dust, stretching across the remnants of a massive star that exploded around 10,000 years ago. This glowing filament is part of the larger Veil Nebula supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus.
