The Japanese word for Pleiades is “Subaru” which means unite. It’s also why the car logo is a group of stars. I took this using my color camera last week. Hope you like it!

The Heart Nebula near the constellation Cassiopeia. Explanation and gear details in alt text. 🧪🔭

#photography #astrophotography #astro #astronomy #heart #heartnebula #nebula #nebulaphotography #hydrogen #hydrogenalpha #opencluster #science
More commonly known as IC1805, the Heart Nebula strikes more than a passing resemblance to a recognizable Valentine's Day symbol. At the center of the nebula, an open cluster of stars emanates radiation that ionizes nearby Hydrogen gas, causing it to glow a deep red. This narrowband image is presented in the HOO color palette to emphasize the color red.

M35 (aka the Shoe Buckle Cluster) sits in the constellation Gemini at around 2.7K-2.9K light years away. It probably isn’t the most interesting object in the Messier catalog but I really love the array of star color in my image overall.

Near the tail of Aquila lies the Scutum star cloud, with Messier 11 (the Wild Duck Cluster) in the center.

Image taken with a Canon EOS R5m2, 100-500mm lens at 100mm and f/4, with 60-second exposures.

M35 with the compact background cluster NGC 2158, captured with my Seestar S30 smart telescope. 60 minutes total integration (10s subs, EQ mode) reveals a dense stellar field with natural color variation.

Wide-field view of the open star cluster M35, showing a dense scattering of bright blue-white and yellow stars across the frame. A smaller, tighter cluster (NGC 2158) appears nearby as a faint, compact grouping against a dark, lightly textured background sky.

Re-edit of my recent capture of NGC 457 (the Owl Cluster), an open cluster in Cassiopeia.
Captured with my Seestar. Reduced background stars to emphasise structure, with enhanced stellar colours showing temperature differences among cluster members.

M41: The Little Beehive Star Cluster

A stunning image of the M41 open star cluster, showcasing numerous bright blue stars and red giant stars amidst a backdrop of red hydrogen gas filaments. The vibrant colors highlight the diversity of stellar life within the cluster, which is destined to disperse over time. This four-hour exposure, captured by Chilescope T2, reveals the beauty and ephemerality of stellar formations.

In this wide-field view is the faint open cluster M67 on the left along with its much larger and closer open cluster M44, more popularly known as the Beehive Cluster. The bright red star is Mars. #astrophotography #nightsky #opencluster #m44 #m67 #beehivecluster #mars
