👑 Cepheus, named after a mythical king of Ethiopia, is a prominent feature in the northern sky. Resembling a royal throne, it never sets for many northern observers and is visible all year round. #constellations #Cepheus

💥 The Crab Nebula (M1) is a supernova remnant located in the constellation of Taurus. It covers an area of about 6’x4‘ on the sky, about the same apparent size as Jupiter. 6,500 ly away from us, this nebula is the aftermath of a supernova explosion observed on Earth in 1054 AD.

✨ The constellation Lyra, which symbolizes the lyre, 🎶 is a small but significant constellation in the Northern Hemisphere's sky. It is most well-known for hosting Vega, one of the brightest ⭐️ #stars in the night sky, making Lyra easy to see even in areas with heavy light pollution.

People often ask me how I manage to post a space photo daily. Here's my recipe: Use a smartphone or a mirrorless camera with a fast 35 mm lens mounted on a mini tripod.
Editing the #astrophoto on the phone usually takes less than 10 minutes — modern smartphone software is quite powerful!

The California Nebula (NGC 1499) is an emission #nebulae in Perseus, glowing about 1,000 light-years from Earth and stretching nearly 100 light-years across. Its deep red light comes from ionized hydrogen, excited by the nearby hot star Xi Persei, which floods the nebula with ultraviolet radiation.

🦎 Lacerta, also called the Lizard, is a faint zigzag of stars tucked between Cygnus and Andromeda in the northern sky. Although small and not very bright, it hides several beautiful double stars #stars and distant star clusters, waiting to be discovered on clear autumn nights.

👀 What if the sky was so full of stars that you couldn’t see the darkness behind them? Tonight, you can spot the Lacerta constellation after sunset and until midnight, as shown in my image #astrophotography below.
