Comet C/2020 F8 (SWAN) over Sydney - From Ángel López-Sánchez - https://flic.kr/p/2iXo4Gy
Comet C/2020 F8 (SWAN), Sydney, May the 4th, 2020, 5:15am Image combining 10 x 2min exposures using an Optolong L-Pro filter, Skywatcher BD80, focal reducer Orion x0.8, ZWO ASI178MC. Mount Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 Pro mount, camera ZWO ASI120MM for guiding and ASIair for controlling everything. Individual frames dark subtracted with Siril software, then I did the alignment on the comet manually in Photoshop (that is why stars are moved and blurry, as stacked with median), where I also played with the color/brightness/contrast. The top image is the resulting color image, the bottom image is the greyscale image increasing the contrast to increase the visibility of the tail and the faintest features. Credit: Ángel R. López-Sánchez (AAO-MQ).

Sequence of the Total Solar Eclipse 13 Nov 2012 (HDR) - From Ángel López-Sánchez - https://flic.kr/p/dtw8Rg
My sequence of the Total Solar Eclipse on 13 / 14 November 2012, 50 km south from Lakeland, Queensland, Australia. I used a Skywatcher D 80mm, F 600mm, Telescope, with a CANON EOS 600D at primary focus. All times given in UT and correspond to 13 Nov 2012. This version of the poster includes a HDR image of the totality. Ángel R.

This is a reprocessing of the data I collected of the Elephant Trunk Nebula from 2024. As I've learned newer and better processing techniques, it's fun to go back and improve upon an image. Description and gear info in the Alt text. #astrophotography #photography #science #elephanttrunknebula 🧪🔭
An image of the Elephant Trunk Nebula, which is an appendage-like cloud of dust and gas that extends out into a region of glowing gas. Parts of the "trunk" are darker than the background, while other parts are much brighter than the background. This contrast against the background makes it a prominent structure. Scope: Skywatcher Esprit 100ED APO Mount: ZWO AM5 Camera: ZWO ASI2600MM Acquisition: ZWO ASIAir Plus, EAF, EFW, and CAA Processing: Siril, Lightroom, and PhotoShop

The Cygnus Loop is a near-circular remnant of a super-nova explosion. One portion of it is called the Eastern Veil Nebula and I liken it to the Xenomorph from the movie, "Alien." Imaging details in Alt text. #cygnusloop #veilnebula #westernveilnebula #eastrnveilnebula #astrophotography #science 🧪🔭
Image of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant that has a circular shape. It is composed of several sections. On the right is the Western Veil Nebula, which starts at a point near the top, and expands toward the bottom before it splits into two distinct tails. The Eastern Veil Nebula is in the left and bears a close resemblance to the head and face of the Xenomorph from the movie, "Alien."

The Heart of the Carina Nebula in H-alpha - From Ángel López-Sánchez - https://flic.kr/p/2iTpiUx
The center of the Carina Nebula, with the bright star Eta Carinae and the Keyhole feature, in H-alpha. Data taken from the backyard at home, ~15 km from Sydney's city centre, on Monday 19th and Tuesday 21st April 2020. Equipment: Skywatcher Black Diamond 80 (F=600mm, f/7.5), Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 (mount), ZWO ASI178MC (main camera), ZWO ASI120MM + Orion 50mm guidescope (guiding), 2" Baader ultra-narrow (3.5 nm) H-alpha filter, and ASIair controlling everything (using my son's iPad). This image combines 35 x 600s light frames, and 30 x 600s dark frames. Aligned and stacked with SiriL, stretching, colour contrast, saturation, levels, and luminosity with Photoshop.

Nice night last night (about time too!) so I got the little 50mm scope out on the Large Magellanic Cloud again. Not a really stunning image, but it shows a lot of interesting bits for further investigation. It also shows that I need a better small scope to do this wide field work. Honey, I need....
Part of the Large Magellanic Cloud taken from suburban Perth, Western Australia on the 2nd of November, 2025. Tech Stuff : 118 x 60 second exposures Scope : Skywatcher Evoguide ED50 with Starizona corrector (which I don't seem to have set up correctly) Camera : ZWO Asi 294MC Pro with ZWO Dual Band Filter (Ha + OIII) Processed : Siril, Seti Asto Suite Pro, Graxpert, CosmicClarity This image was taken for two reasons. 1) Just to get a look at the larger structure of the LMC 2) Look for interesting bits for more 'close up and personal' attention with a scope with a narrower field of view. Number 2 succeeded with knobs on! Look at all those bubbles and swirls. It also is showing up the limitations of using what is essentially a guide scope for imaging. I've had to hide a lot of nasty noise etc in this processing. It's obvious to anyone who does astrophotography. Hmmm, I'm getting tempted to save up some pennies to buy a half decent wide field scope. I'm finding these wide field views fascinating.
