I photographed the Butterfly nebula (IC 1318) over the past 3 nights from my backyard! I had a lot of fun with this one, both in capturing and processing. Nerd details in the alt text. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy #space

The butterfly nebula, shot with a Ultracat 108 telescope on a 2600 MM camera, using SHO astronomik filters. 5 minutes exposures were used for each channel, using 15 hours of data over 3 nights. Data was stacked in Astro pixel processor and processed in Pixinsight

I know front runners got nerfed last patch but I still think she’s going to be busted for the Leo cup. #umamusume

New night, clear skies, new project. If you can guess what this target is from this frame I’ll be impressed (no peeking at the alt text) #astrophotography

The butterfly nebula, shot with a single exposure of 5 minutes using an OIII filter

Zoomed in, since bsky ruined the quality

I photographed M5 last month from my driveway. In the uncropped version, you can see an object in the the bottom left that did not follow tracking. I'm not sure what it was, but most likely an asteroid of some kind. If anyone knows feel free to chime in. #astronomy #astrophotography #photography

Messier 5, photographed with a 2600 mm pro and a ultracat 108 telescope, using stacked 60 second exposures.

The bottom left quadrant a streak of light followed by a pattern of r, g, b suggest a moving object that is not a star, such as a planet or asteroid that was captured in filter order.

Markarian's chain of galaxies, as shot from my backyard. This group of galaxies can be easily seen with a telescope just above the constellation Virgo. #photography #astrophotography #astronomy #space

A chain of far away galaxies, situated amongst a background of stars.

Larger field for those interested

Photographed the Wasp star cluster last night (NGC 6633). The cluster is about the same size as the moon in the night sky, and can been seen early in the morning this time of year. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

The wasp star cluster, with numerous background stars

Dummy Mage@twoint· May 12

Turns out I can get a decent few of the southern side of the sky, but not for long with all the trees around. I split my project time as a result. I hope to have one finished over the next couple days.

Markarians chain of galaxies shot in black and white over 180 seconds. The image is a bit grainy but several smaller background galaxies are visible.

Bode's galaxy and the Cigar galaxy. I spent three nights photographing this pair of galaxies from my driveway using a monochrome camera and filters. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

A pair of galaxies, Bode's on the left and the cigar galaxy on the right sit against a light pollution tinged background of stars.

Dummy Mage@twoint· Apr 21

Quick WIP again, let’s hope I have enough clear nights to finish it

Bodes galaxy and the cigar galaxy in black and white. There’s a gradient of light pollution present along with many stars, and a faint galaxy in the top left.

I got owned as well, but it makes sense

your uma personality is admire vega
burned with resolve, a first magnitude star who stays alone

At it again. Probably won’t be finished for a couple more nights, but have a WIP of the Christmas Tree nebula

A monochrome image of the Christmas tree nebula. Shot over 5 minutes in a single exposure with a Hydrogen-alpha filter.

I photographed the Rosette nebula over the past 3 nights. It was a bit chilly but I'm glad to be back at it, and also glad I got to shoot this before it got too low on the horizon. See alt text for nerd details. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy #space

$The Rosette nebula in a the narrowband SHO palette. The edges of the nebula are made of red to yellow bands of cloudy duet, with a hollow blue core. A bundle of bright stars is nestled in the center. The image was shot with an asi2600 MM pro using astronomik filters through a 500 mm refractor telescope. Each exposure was 300s and tracked, with approximately 12 hours of combined data.$

Dummy Mage@twoint· Feb 12

A quick post to let you know I’m not dead. A new project is underway now that it’s not -10 out. If the weather holds I’ll have it finished in a few days. #astrophotography #photography

A single monochrome frame of the rosette nebula, shot with an oxygen II filter. The exposure was tracked and taken over 300 seconds.

Jupiter is in opposition right now! If it’s clear where you’re at, check it with a telescope, binoculars, or even your naked eye! It should be easy to pick out and much brighter than the stars around it.

A star map of the night sky. Jupiter is highlighted in the constellation Gemini with a cross hair. The constellations of Orion and Taurus are also present.

Merry Christmas everyone. May your holiday be as bright as the Orion nebula! #photography #astrophotography #astronomy #space It was very foggy while shooting this, but I take the clear nights when I can in the winter.

I photographed the Horsehead nebula, one of my favorite deep sky objects. I spent two nights photographing this nebula, separated by a month in-between due to cloud cover and snow. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

The horsehead and flame nebula. Large stars and dusty clouds are scattered around.

Dummy Mage@twoint· Nov 29

Definitely tricky, but here's a version of it. The green from all the hydrogen keeps trying to creep in.

I've come a long way from when I tried to photograph it last year. Better equipment does help, but technique and processing do even more.

The California nebula is visible in a red cloudy haze centrally. A small blanket of stars surrounds the area. Vignetting is present at the edges of the image.

Dummy Mage@twoint· Nov 25

The California Nebula, named after the state its shape mimics. It took two nights to photograph this nebula using narrowband filters. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

The California Nebula. Bright, glowing dust clouds stretch across the frame, surrounded by stars. A blue glow of oxygen can be seen rising from a large expanse of red, orange, and yellow gases.

I photographed the Pleiades star cluster last night. I was able to get much more of the dust surrounding the stars this year. This cluster is easily visible to the naked eye even in light-polluted areas, and looks fantastic through a pair of binoculars. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography

The pleiades star cluster. The blue stars are suspended within a blanket of dust, illuminating it.

I visited the southern hemisphere for the first time last week. Unfortunately, the moon was full and clouds kept rolling in, so I didn't have near the time I'd normally spend, but I did get to photograph the Large Magellanic Cloud! #astrophotography #space #astronomy #photography

The Large Magellanic Cloud, a bright streak of stars faintly glowing in the sky. To the upper right, the Taruntula nebula is visible.

Dummy Mage@twoint· Oct 20

I spent six hours photographing the Triangulum Galaxy from a local parking lot. I wish light pollution wasn't so terrible here. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #space

The triangulum galaxy, its spiral arms streching out from a small glowing core. Stars are present around the galaxy, and bright red areas of hydrogen gas are visible from afar.
