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.

The Whirlpool Galaxy situated against a black background of stars. The galaxy on the left is pulling material away from the right, giving the swirling effect observed here.

The Pac-Man nebula. I photographed this nebula from a nearby parking lot, using long exposures over the course of 3 nights.

I spent 20 hours photographing the Andromeda galaxy, taking long exposures over the course of four nights to create this image.

#astrophotography #photography #astronomy
The andromeda galaxy sits at a 45 degree angle, with a sister galaxy nearby. Swirls of dark dust run in a spiral towards the core, and small bright specks of far off worlds encircle the bright center.

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.

Nothing quite like the nightly adventure of a rando walking/driving up to you & asking what you're doing.

Personal fave was:
Rando: hey I see you got some telescopes here
Me: Yup. I'd appreciate it if you'd leave me alone though please, I'm a bit busy.
*10 sec pause*
R: So whatcha lookin at-

The Heart Nebula

I spent 10 hours photographing this nebula from a nearby parking lot.

#astrophotography #photography #astronomy
The heart nebula, in false colors typical of narrowband images. In this image, red is sulfur, green is hydrogen, and blue is oxygen. The heart shaped gasses envelop a bright core, with stars scattered around.

Use generalized hyperbolic stretch (GHS) in pixinsight for stretching! It works amazing and it’s pretty intuitive.

The 4x seems to have a bit better detail

I don’t think I can go back to shooting in OSC… monochrome has me hooked

Apologies for inactivity. I’ve been enjoying #umamusume

Enough to buy the new cam and a filter or two.
