The Whirlpool galaxy, or Messier 51. I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I'm very excited regardless to share. It was my personal goal this spring to get this one photographed.

Jupiter is in opposition right now! If it’s clear where you’re at, check it with a telescope, binoculars, or even your naked eye! It should be easy to pick out and much brighter than the stars around it.

I built a new PC at the of the year using parts from Black Friday sales. It’s much better than my old one.
Only problem is I lost a lot of my streaming assets and my entire setup. I can try to reconfigure everything and recover my files but it’s going to be a struggle..

Merry Christmas everyone. May your holiday be as bright as the Orion nebula!

It was very foggy while shooting this, but I take the clear nights when I can in the winter.

I photographed the Horsehead nebula, one of my favorite deep sky objects. I spent two nights photographing this nebula, separated by a month in-between due to cloud cover and snow.

It is very cold, but its worth it to finally get outside and under the stars

Cold weather and snow have been keeping me out of the field. Hoping the skies eventually clear so I can finish my horsehead and Orion Nebula projects

The California Nebula, named after the state its shape mimics. It took two nights to photograph this nebula using narrowband filters.

My mount has now developed a quirk where it will shut down during meridian flips… I’m not sure if it’s due to a loose cable or or a power problem but a quick browse says this isn’t uncommon for the AM5 to develop.

I photographed the Pleiades star cluster last night. I was able to get much more of the dust surrounding the stars this year. This cluster is easily visible to the naked eye even in light-polluted areas, and looks fantastic through a pair of binoculars.

I visited the southern hemisphere for the first time last week. Unfortunately, the moon was full and clouds kept rolling in, so I didn't have near the time I'd normally spend, but I did get to photograph the Large Magellanic Cloud! #astrophotography #space #astronomy #photography

I spent six hours photographing the Triangulum Galaxy from a local parking lot. I wish light pollution wasn't so terrible here.

Been traveling a lot recently, bit under the weather as a result. I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things soon

I’ve been working long hours recently so my photography time has been limited. I’ve been working on a couple projects though, and I’ll hopefully get at least one processed tomorrow. No promises, but I’m very excited about a 20 hour one in particular.
