My #Astrophotography focuses on Nightscape photography, but I occasionally play with deep space imagery.

This image shows Orions Belt & Sword, and also the Great Orion, Running Man, the Horse Head and the Flame Nebulae.
Orion Deep space
My main form of Astrophotography is Nightscape photography, also known as Landscape Astrophotography. I have, however, been experimenting with some deep space imagery, especially in the Australian summer months, when the Milky Way Core is out of sight, and constellations like Orion are in the sky.

Here’s to a happy, healthy and successful 2025 my friends!
I’m off to a good start after bagging my first Aurora of the year a few nights back, just a short walk from home, which you can see centre left under the tree ✨

I’m curious to see what practical effects photographers have been able to achieve in-camera. This is the combination of 3 shots taken back in 2018.

The oldest light I’ve ever captured from my backyard.

The light annotated by these arrows is from QSO 3C 232 - a bright, distant quasar. This light is ~7.5 billion years old.

That light has travelled across the Universe and predates the birth of our Solar System, Sun and Earth!

Ok, time to zoooom - here is the Orion Nebula in multiwavelength glory! But don't just take my word for it; I created a web interactive for you to explore for yourself: web.wwtassets.org/specials/202... or if you have a Digistar planetarium, go hit up that cloud for the dome version :) 🔭 🧪

A notoriously difficult capture with only a handful of us having success after many, many attempts. The tide, swell, weather, moon and MW need to align perfectly and although this image looks calm, being a long exposure, it’s anything but!

An #astrophotography #timelapse of the Milky Way, shot at Strathnairn, on Canberra's 🇦🇺 western edge. The timelapse itself was shot on a #FujiX-T4, and the other images on a #FujiX-T5.

🔭 Lake Moogerah on a crisp clear #night 🌟

Quite slippery getting down to the shore as the water was a fair way out and I had to walk over some mud flats. It was worth it for the right perspective of the #milkyway though! ✨

Comet C/2011 W3 Lovejoy.
Picture taken Christmas morning, 2011. :)
Check out the size of that tail! Magnificent!
Such a pity the Australian media didn't give it any air time. Imagine the memories kids would have, going out early xmas morning to experience it.

This was a fireball meteor at 5:00 AM from Mauna Kea, Hawaii on November 9th, 2024. It turned the sky a very bright teal for a second before leaving a persistent train.
