The Great Orion Nebula #M42 #NGC1976 #astrophotography #womeninastrophotography
I have a very small window in which to image Orion due to trees so this is quite an accomplishment for me. 😊

How many women in astrophotography or astronomy are on here?? #womeninastrophotography #astrophotography We may be few but we are out there!

A re-edit of my Trifid Nebula data.
Took a little artistic liberty haha.
Originally captured back on 28 May 2022. It's about 3.5 Hours from my OSC.

About 2 hours exposure of the #Andromeda #Galaxy #M31 last night from my driveway.

And here's the final edit. Probably my favorite image I've taken to date.

This is only 45 minutes of integration (9x300), and probably over-processed. I can't wait to get several more hours on this one.

The California Nebula (NGC1499) captured last night from my backyard using Ha, Siii and Oii narrowband filters using a refractor telescope. #astrophotography #astronomy

I'm just getting into the winter skies now, but missing the summer skies already. Here's one from May 2021. NGC7000, The North American Nebula and Friends. Quite a few objects in this wide field shot including the Pelican Nebula. Just 60 minutes worth of data. StarGuider Pro, Williams Optics Redcat 51mm APO, Optolong L-Extreme Filter and Canon Ra. Pre-Processed in APP, Post-Processed in Pixinisght and Photoshop. #astrodon

Another Moon shot I took, this one was with my Atik 383l+ and 190MN telescope. The Moon is such a great target, very accessible, constantly changing, bright (although that can be a pain for deep sky imaging), huge amounts of detail and also a visual eye target :) #Astrophotography #Moon #Luna #Space #Astronomy #Monochrome #Photography #Astrodon

Computerized #astrophotography but in 1981

If you have you ever seen how large an Apple II is you'll appreciate what kind of outrageous idea it is that this is anywhere near mobile.

Mars looks amazing right now - a lovely pink/orange hue bright in the sky around East/South East. This is how it looks in my telescope. I wonder if anyone was looking back. #mars #astronomy #celestron #astrophotography

Imaged 7 deep sky objects last night (DSOs) and 15 minutes on the #RosetteNebula #NGC2244 created a beauty #astrophotography

I've been chasing the milky way for a long time. This is one of my earlier images from a road trip to Arches National Park several years ago.

Now I live in an RV and hang out in the darkest places in the country so I can do this all the time. After spending any amount of time in a place like that... how could you not?

My image of the Cone Nebula and IC 2169 neighborhood #astrophotography #space

Wow, Orion's black & white optical navcam just sent back photos of the Moon's surface. You'll notice some lines in there, a result of the lower quality navcam, but still really cool pics. Find more here: https://images.nasa.gov/ #Artemis #Orion #Space #Astronomy #astrophotography #Moon

Large Magellanic Cloud

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. At a distance of 160,000 ly, it is one of our next galactic neighbors. The LMC is approx. 32,200 ly across, with 1% the mass of our own galaxy. Despite this, is the fourth-largest galaxy in the Local Group, after Andromeda, Milky Way and Triangulum galaxies.

LMC is host to hundreds of astronomical features with their own designations, including Tarantula Nebula, the brightest point in this image, featured center-left.

This wide field image spans over 10 degrees squared, by comparison the moon is only half a degree in diameter! The RGB data was collected with the new T70 telescope at the itelescope facility in Chile and provided through their member's data feed. Processing in APP and PixInsight.
