Northern lights were photo-bombing my telescope's view of M 42 today

Master Your Unistellar Telescope & Do Science That Matters is a five-part workshop for Unistellar users who want to move beyond imaging into true scientific observing.

This course is presented by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, in partnership with Unistellar and the SETI Institute.

You’ll learn what you’re seeing, why it matters, and how your telescope becomes a genuine scientific instrument.

Shot the Veil Nebula in the summer. I made multiple attempts at editing the photo and posted it a few months ago. I wasn't completely happy with the result, but I didn't want to start editing it for the 4th time.

This weekend, I stacked the raw data and edited it again using some new techniques I'd learned. This time, I was able to bring out the background much better. I'm much happier with this version.

I managed to get a few shots of NGC7293, The Helix Nebula on 10/16. This is usually pretty low on my horizon so it's difficult to capture. Well worth the effort though...The first shot is natural color, the second and third are Hubble Palette and Foraxx Palette narrowband images. Thanks for looking. Ps8:3-4

On a whim I decided to try my phone's #Astrophotograpy mode tonight and I accidentally caught a #meteor. Probably from the "Chi Cygnids"?

Shockingly effective. This was captured from our front porch with the lights still on. I might have to try it again somewhere darker.

That's a lot of stars!
The Pacman nebula NGC 281 in Cassiopeia. Quite faint, only barely visible on a 45s sub. 632 X 45sec subs. Stacked in Stella studio on the #Dwarf3 #AstroPhotograpy

Finally calling this project done. This is the Veil Nebula after 27h of exposure time, captured from my balcony in the city under Bortle 5/6 skies. A large portion of the expsure was taken during an 80-100% moon, so some of that data was probably less useful for the final stack.

Shot with a ZWO ASI2600MC and an Askar FRA400 using a 0.7x reducer to fit the whole nebula into a single frame. Next time, I'd like to try a two-panel mosaic fore more detail.
