Here is #NGC7000 imaged with my 190MN and #ZWO ASI 2600MM, in the SHO palette, each filter (SII, Ha and OIII) was a total of 6 hours integration for a total of 18 hours. #astrophotography #nebula #astronomy
Tonights transit is WASP-10b, got the full data set now, pleased again with this, lines up well with predictions, slighty deeper transit depth at 31ppt instead of 25ppt, but the timing and duration are bob on almost. Imaged from my backyard :) #astronomy #exoplanet

Something very satisfying watching tha data roll in live of the transit of an Exoplanet in front of its star. This is WASP-10b, a Jupiter sized planet, the transit takes about 2h14m and should be 2.5% in depth. The data is close to the prediction shown by the red lines :) #exoplanet #astronomy

I tried a slightly harder target, this is the transit of Qatar-9b. This is 700 light years away, its star is a Mag 14 K5V about 0.7x the diameter of the Sun. The planet is Jupiter sized and took about 2 hours to transit. The transit depth was only 3% this time. #exoplanet #astronomy

Tonight I decided to try something new. I managed to detect Exoplanet TOI 3714b transiting its host star using my 190MN scope and 2600MM camera. Totally blown away that this is possble from my back yard here in the UK. Transit took 1H 38mins and was about 5% in depth 🤯. #Astrophotography #exoplanet

Had a go processing some of my older narrowband data in Pixinsight of Melotte 15 in the Heart Nebula. I feel this is a better result this time, more finer structure and better stars. This was 18 hours data with Ha, SII and OIII using Atik 383L+ and 190MN #astrophotography

Its raining again so here is an image from earier this year. M81 and M82 galaxies. 6 Hrs Lum and 2 hrs total R,G,B using 190MN and ZWO 2600MM. 100% crop of each galaxy and the full image rescaled. This is another Pixinsight re-process, still learning but very happy with this :) #astrophotography

Re-processed my M106 image with Pixinsight, wish I had taken the leap earlier to PI, much improved, although had to crop a portion to avoid poorly calibrated frames. This is a LRGB image, total of 19 hours exposure with 190MN and ZWO 2600MM camera, click left image for 100% crop #astrophotography

After an extended summer break from Astrophotography I am back in the saddle and capturing photons again. Amazingly everything fired up first time, although many critters have been evicted. Tonight’s target is SH2-125 The Cocoon Nebula, might take a couple of nights.

After a decent haul of clear nights here is some new images. This is my NGC 4631 The Whale Galaxy and its buddy NGC 4656 The Hockey Stick Galaxy. With crops of each at full resolution. A total of 10 hours using LRGB filters with my 190MN scope and ZWO 2600MM camera. #astrophotography #galaxy 🔭

With the Moon big and bright I decided to switch to Globluar Clusters, here is my image of M13 The Great Gobular Cluster in Hercules. Several hundred thousand stars, mind blown 🤯. Total of 2 hours Luminance and 1.5 hours each RGB using 190MN and ZWO 2600MM #Astrophotography #space #stars 🔭

Not sure if it’s just me but for us UK based astrophotographers this must be the longest continuous streak of clear nights in decades, I think I have had nearly 3 weeks of cloudless skies so far ☺️, it’s so unusual, normally it’s a few a month at best #astrophotography

Here is Mare Imbrium and craters including Plato, Cassini, Archimedes and others, see the annotated version for more info. This is my image from this last night with a ZWO 2600MM and 190MN scope, best 200 frames from 1000 standard luminance filter. #Astrophotography #thephotohour #space 🔭

Great shot Rob, really looks like you are in actual orbit around the Moon 👏🏻
Moon - April 4th, 2025 ~22:00UTC 48% illuminated.
Made the most of a bit of favorable libration to get a good look at Mare Australe and surrounding area.
8" reflector at 3000mm

A super Seagull Nebula (IC 2177) by Darren, can be a tough target for our latitude here in UK, need a clear southern horizon.
Latest #Astrophotography adventure, The Seagull Nebula. This was a difficult one, it’s very low from here, doesn’t get much above 20°, skirting the trees. And with the clocks going forward I was only able to about 1.5 hours a night. This it’s just over 6 hours and is very noisy. Details in AltText

Here is my image of SH2-275 The Rosette Nebula, My FOV at this focal length can't fit it all in, but this is the central region. 2.5 hours each of SII, H-Alpha and OIII imaged with a ZWO 2600MM and 190MN scope. Love the dust formations, how many animals can you spot? #Astrophotography #nebula 🔭

Classic UK weather for todays partial solar eclipse 🌙 , for the rest of the week though it’s wall to wall sunshine, first year I have had access to a solar scope I could use too, gutted.

Super M101 by Manuel
M101 – about 20 hours through my 12" RC / EQ8-R / Touptek 2600 mono camera (color data from an older shot). My main objective was to test different guiding settings. OAG guiding seems to be a pain in the *** at almost 2m focal length, especially under mediocre seeing conditions. #astrophotography

Been a while due to poor weather, but a couple of nights of clear skies mean more images :) here is my image of M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy. This is 4 hours Lum and 1.5 hours each of R,G and B. Imaged with my 190MN scope and ZWO 2600MM camera. #astrophotography #space #galaxy🔭

A super image of the California Nebula, love the detail and the structure in this image, Darren has done a great job of adding some depth to this fascinating nebula. 👏🏻
A reprocessed view of the California Nebula (NGC 1499), captured with 10+ hours of exposure in Sii, Ha, and Oiii using the Hubble palette. This version enhances the nebula’s depth, unveiling rich textures and subtle color transitions in this vast interstellar cloud. #Astrophotography #SHO #DeepSky

Dust devil on Mars seen from orbit, fascinating stuff 🌪️
Oh, this?
Just a dust devil, seen from orbit.
From Mars orbit. And the dust devil is 20 kilometres tall.

Great shot of the Rosette Nebula by Daydream Astro, really vivid colours. Looks like someone has blown a hole in the sky 💥
Just wanted to share our latest shot of the Rosette Nebula! We are still working on this target 🌟 It's a reminder of how vast and beautiful the universe is. Feeling grateful for the chance to explore the night sky! #SpacePhotography #RosetteNebula
