Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) from a few nights ago. It comes by here every 650 or so years. It’s in a really ‘starry’ part of the sky now which makes it extra nice.

2 1/2 minutes of 10 second images, processed with Siril and a touch up in cosmic clarity.

Heart of Gas...the Heart Nebula, a big area of gas and dust shaped like a heart and reddish in color in the constellation Cassiopeia. It's as big as 4 full moons but unfortunately too dim to see without a camera.

Barnard's Star, in the constellation Ophiuchus (it's the red star close the center of the image). The closest star that can be seen from the northern hemisphere and one of the fastest moving stars, relative to us, in the sky.

Caugh an ISS transit of the sun this morning. The sky wasn't completely clear but clear enough you could see the ISS pass by.

My version of comet C/2025 F2 Swan, taken Saturday morning from Signal Hill, NL 1.5 hours before sunrise. Five minutes of 10-sec images, processed in siril,graxpert with a touch up in photoshop.
The Seestar put the comet dead center when I searched for it.

I've been collecting pictures of stars with my telescope the last little while. I have over 200 now. This is one of my latest ones, Muliphein in Canis Major. I think the all the background stars and their colors look pretty cool.

The seestar was a trooper tonight, spent 5 hours out in < -5 degrees C weather, captured images of 32 stars, no problems whatsoever. The only reason we stopped was clouds.

The International Space Station transiting the sun, captured by my Seestar and extracted from a a video. You can find out when the ISS or the Chinese space station Tiangong transits the sun or moon from your location using this site, transit-finder.com .

The Eastern and Western Veil Nebulas. The remnants of a star 20 times as massive as the sun that exploded in Cygnus approximately 10,000 or so years ago.

The crab nebula, in the constellation Taurus. It's what's left of a star that exploded in 1054. It was so bright at the time that it could be seen during the day for nearly a month.

30 minutes of images, processed with Siril and Graxpert, bortle 5 skies.
