My first year of astrophotography has been very rewarding for me personally. I hope to be able to continue this for a long time.

April's full moon is nicknamed the "Pink Moon" which can be misleading because it has nothing to do with the moons color. It's a marker for spring
Here is the real color of the moon last night along with a playfully colored (false color) pink moon.

My latest deep sky photo.
The Pinwheel is photographed a lot!
What i find more interesting is that tiny disk in the corner. NGC 5422.
A Galaxy that is 5 times further away than the Pinwheel. It is estimated to be 10 billion years old.
Thanks for looking 😁

The air molecules from Earth’s atmosphere scatter out most of the blue light. The remaining light reflects onto the Moon’s surface with a red glow, making the Moon appear red in the night sky. This is the blood moon. Enjoy.
