I've installed one of my telescopes at an observatory in Texas. I will be remotely imaging from my home in Taiwan. I'll have more deep-sky objects to share very soon, from two telescopes, 12 hours apart.

The North American and Pelican Nebulae are located in the constellation Cygnus. You can easily find it by locating the three stars of the Summer Triangle asterism; the leftmost star in the Summer Triangle is Deneb. 🤩

This female mallard is stretching its wings, drying them, and cooling off. Males often exhibit dominance or courtship behavior in this manner. ☺️

This lovely couple of Eurasian Tree Sparrows made their home on the riverbank, near flowering bushes that were producing berries. Clever birds indeed. ☺️

I captured and processed my favorite object, the Rosette Nebula, with my new filters to render it in a Hubble palette. The total integration time was 22 hrs.

The South American Horned Frog, a.k.a. Pacman Frog, is an ambush predator; it can consume prey almost as big as itself.

This Taiwanese krait is extremely venomous; it's about to molt; its eyes and skin are opaque. It will soon return to shore and shed its skin.

My Celestron EdgeHD 8" SCT is for capturing planetary, lunar, and deep space objects such as galaxies, star clusters, and planetary nebulae. When capturing large nebulae, I use my refractor telescope.
