The PacMan Nebula #NGC281 in all its glory. I took this photo about a month ago from my suburban backyard.

I took this image of the Cigar Galaxy a few months ago. I then added the Hydrogen alpha signal (the red part in the middle).

This is the star-forming region surrounding the Tarantula Nebula known as #NGC2004. It isn’t visible from the northern hemisphere so I processed the raw data via #Telescope.Live into a great image.

This is Melotte 15 which is the "Heart of the Heart Nebula." I really love how this one turned out!

Eastern Veil Nebula - NGC 6992. Rookie at astrophotography, just trying to find my way in this incredible hobby. The technical stuff might drive me over the edge. ABL (always be learning).

"Work in progress"

Data: Eric Coles (TAIC volunteer)
Processing: Beatrice Heinze

Let's see how much more I can get out of this astro image with further edits.

This is called the "Headphone Nebula" and has a magnitude of 17 which makes it very faint. With focal ratio f-10, I used 12.5 minute exposures for a grand total of 26 hours and 50 minutes (SHO & HOO). #headphonenebula #astrophotography #celestron #deepskyobject #nebula #space #astronomy #astro

Here’s comet 62P/Tsuchinshan in Feb 2024 in the constellation Virgo. It’s crazy that other comets are visible pretty much year round yet you rarely hear about them.
