I decided to make a go at SHO / getting the workflow sorted with my Askar C2 and Optolong L-Ultimate. Here's the Fighting Dragons of Ara, WIP.

The Jellyfish Nebula, IC 443, is located in Gemini. We grabbed 55 ten minute shots of this gorgeous supernova remnant. I stacked and processed it in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

Always a fun target, IC443, the Jellyfish Nebula, is a supernova remnant (SNR) that are the gaseous remains of a massive star that exploded. From 3/2/2025 using Skywatcher Quattro 250p, ZWO ASI2600mc pro camera, Optolong L-Extreme filter processed in PixInsight.

A cropped version of my previous Orion nebula wide field. The Horse Head and Flame nebulae. The Optolong L-Ultimate filter did an amazing job capturing the beautiful colour variation in this area!✨🔭

Finally tried out the Poseidon-C color camera during a rare hour of clear January sky. The Optolong L-enhance helped, since the scope was pointed south over the Toronto skyglow. I toned down the highlights enough to show the Trapezium cluster. A brooding swirl of angry nebulosity? #Astrophotography

IC 1805 (Heart Nebula) - this "preschooler’s valentine" made for a fun January project, and I ended up spending quite a bit more time on it than I'd planned. 😉
