The Crab Nebula - Messier 1 is a vibrant supernova remnant located in the constellation Taurus, about 6,500 light-years away.

Shot from my backyard in Somerset, UK.

Clear skies all!

As promised here is M42 from the Seestar S50 for comparison with the S30 shot i posted yesterday.

Roughly same integration time.

NGC 7380 - Wizard Nebula

With the recent weather in Jakarta not allowing any astrophotography, I thought I'd reprocess some data I shot from back in September/October of last year.

Shot from the backyard in Somerset. 🔭

Clear skies all!

Messier 45 - Pleiades Cluster

A winter favourite here in the northern hemisphere. This beautiful open cluster reveals it's nebulosity when imaged using standard DSO long exposure astrophotography, through a modest telescope 🔭

Clear skies all!

A wider look at Messier 31.

Really enjoying using the Samyang 135mm lens. Really gives a different perspective to so many familiar objects in the night sky.

As ever, shot from my backyard in Somerset UK

Clear skies all. 🔭

Chepheus shares up some dusty delights.

29 hours of integration on a widefield project through September and October. The dusty IFN combined with flares of Hydrogen Alpha made this a challenge to process.

Clear skies all!

Messier 27 - Dumbbell Nebula

Another of my favourites. Sitting in the constellation of Vulpecula around 1300 ly away, this was the first 'planetary' nebula discovered by Charles Messier. 🔭

Shot from my backyard in Somerset UK in Sept 2024.

Clear skies all!

Back in the UK and back with the astro rigs. Managed one night of imaging last week before the clouds came.

Here's a widefield look at the Flaming Star/Tadpoles region in Auriga.

Clear Skies All!!

More Seestar testing. This time the S50 is trying it's hand at lunar. Hitting the RAW button allows the scope to capture .avi video files that can be stacked and processed just like with any other planetary setup.

Clear skies all!

2024, my second year doing astrophotography.

It's been a year of progression with some some truly mesmerising moments. Capturing and witnessing the aurora twice from the southern UK being the highlight.

Clear skies to you all in 2025!

We all stayed up for the eclipse last night. My first editing attempt. FRA300, ASI 2600MC Duo, taken within 5 minutes of maximum. Seeing this up in the sky looked like Mars with a polar cap. Very very cool. #astrophotography #eclipse #lunareclipse #spacepics #space #photography

Sh2-129 - Flying Bat and Squid Nebula

This was one of the most difficult targets I shot last year. The faint Oiii signal in the Squid Nebula is really more suited to a mono setup and required over 20 hours of integration to really pull the details out using an OSC.🔭

Well, the weather here in Jakarta hasn't allowed the Seestars to produce anything yet, so here is a throwback to when I used an APS-C astronomy camera to image the moon through my 8 inch Newtonian 🔭. 126GB of data were used to make this.

Clear skies all!

Trying to achieve true SHO with a one-shot colour camera. I've added just over 9 hrs of data with an Askar Colour Magic C2 Sii Oiii filter. With the 12 hrs of Ha Oiii data collected previously, this is the reault.....

M42 - Seestar S30 testing.

So what can you do with 30mm of aperture, a tiny planetary camera, all wrapped up in a tiny form factor and controlled by your phone?

I wasn't expecting much from the little @zwoasi Seestar S30 but I'm actually quite impressed. 🔭

The recent #aurora combined with the #perseidmetorshower as seen from Somerset. I've been so lucky to witness and capture the aurora twice this year from this far south. Mesmerising beauty that reminds us we leave on a beautiful planet.

This photos from the International Space Station is a stunning display of breathing trees. Dense clouds hover over the Congo Rainforest, while the rivers remain cloud-free. From the NASA Earth Observatory & JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography
