I probably should begin posting here again, so here is a quick test of the Propeller Nebula that I've been working on!
This is roughly 4 hours exposure, 1 hr each of Ha and Sii, and a little over 2 hr for Oiii. More images coming soon!

NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula
This is one of my older projects that I just got to editing. I'll likely add much more to this later. Much more coming later, I'm currently working on M81+M82! More info in ALT text.

A test edit on the christmas tree cluster and cone nebula! Just over 7 hours of data, hoping to get at least one more night on this object.

Iris Nebula - NGC 7023
My latest image, the iris nebula with a total of 25 hours of exposure time! This is located ~1,300ly away in the constellation Cepheus, and one of my favorite types of objects to image. Technical details in the ALT text. Enjoy!

Welcome to all new followers! I'm currently working on the Iris nebula, which I hope to finish editing later this week. I don't think I've posted a picture of my telescope setup yet, so here it is!

I have many astro projects needing to be edited. Here is a roughly edited test of the Cygnus wall that I imaged a few nights ago, and I plan on adding much more to this image later. Image details in alt text
This is a total of around 8 hours stacked and edited within pixinsight

Here is my final image of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)! I’m quite happy with how it turned out, especially since this was a last minute idea before going out with the telescope. This image had 40 minutes worth of exposure, with no moon visible.

Decided to image comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS tonight using my telescope, here is one of many 30 second exposures that will be taken tonight!
Taken with the Carbonstar 150 (575mm f3.8), and zwo asi533mc pro. Also auto guiding with the asi120mm mini.

There is literally not a single cloud in the sky from the Plains to the Eastern Seaboard. An absolutely stunning Fall Day.

OK...I've created a starter pack for #WxSky (because that's what we're calling it) About 30 stormchasers, meteorologists, & photographers. If you'd like to be on or off the list let me know.
You can follow all these with one click or pick and choose.

My first post on here might as well be some pictures of the recent #aurora here in central Illinois, along with #comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS! More posts will come in the future, but for those who don't know me, I'm a weather nerd (will be going to Iowa State for meteorology after HS graduation this yr).
