My newest space photo- the Cygnus Wall! The Cygnus Wall is a small portion of the humongous North America Nebula. The wall portion here is about 20 lightyears across and 2600 lightyears away. This is the brightest star forming region within the North America Nebula.
Finished off galaxy season with M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy. Nearly 18 hours of exposure from my backyard. Located about 31 million light-years away, M51 is interacting with its smaller companion galaxy, creating the beautiful spiral structure and tidal bridge visible in the image.
Probably my favorite photo I’ve ever taken. It’s not fair that I don’t get to see the Tetons every day.
The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) and Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) lie ~1,350 light-years away in the Orion Molecular Cloud. This is right around 52 hours of exposure time. The Flame is a massive star-forming region, glowing as newborn stars ionize surrounding hydrogen gas.
Presenting my latest Astro photo- Jellyfish Nebula! I spent nearly 2 months collecting the data for this one. What you’re seeing is the glowing aftermath of a massive star that exploded thousands of years ago, sending shockwaves rippling through space.
Last night I finished up my image of the Lobster Claw Nebula! Located 11,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia, the Lobster Claw is a massive H-II emission nebula spanning roughly 100 light-years across.
✨ Meet M33 — the Triangulum Galaxy ✨ • ~2.7 million light-years away • A nearly face-on spiral, making its structure insanely detailed • One of the closest galaxies outside the Milky Way • Home to NGC 604, a massive star-forming region bigger than the Orion Nebula
I got the 60”x40” hung on the all and 😍😍😍😍😍 #astrophotography #deepspace #elephanttrunknebula #merryrizzmass
🚀 ELEPHANT TRUNK NEBULA GIVEAWAY 🚀 To celebrate the holiday season arriving, I’m giving away a free aluminum print of one of my favorite captures — the Elephant Trunk Nebula. HOW TO ENTER (FREE): 1️⃣ Follow me 2️⃣ Like this post 3️⃣ Comment your favorite nebula, galaxy, or deep-sky object 👇
Hi team! I just started my Black Friday sale on my photo shop. Sometimes canvas and aluminum prints take a little longer to deliver, so starting early to make sure they’re on time for Christmas! Here are some samples of what’s on my site! www.etsy.com/shop/robotsh...
My newest image of the Elephant Trunk Nebula and the IC 1396 region is built from nearly 1000 individual deep-sky exposures totaling 81 hours of integration time. The long integration reveals the full structure of a collapsing molecular cloud inside a giant H II region about 2,400 light-years away.
Dot wants in on the comfy action. She jumped into the chair with the pile of pillows and couldn’t get out after her nap 😂
After nearly a month under the stars and 46 hours of exposure, here’s my final image of the Lion Nebula (Sh2-132).
I received my Wizard Nebula aluminum test print today and my word. The detail on aluminum over canvas is striking. It costs slightly more but man, it’s worth it. It’s so clear.
Oxygen Emission • Pockets of ionized oxygen gas (OIII) • Adds faint teal tones • Marks areas of intense radiation
Dark Nebulae • Cold, dusty clouds blocking starlight • Appear as dark rivers against the glow • Raw material for future stars
IC 1318 (Gamma Cygni Nebula) • Vast clouds of hydrogen gas glowing red • Energized by nearby massive stars • A stellar nursery in action
