The Milky Way rising over the canyons of Canyonlands—a quiet blend of Haas-style color and Adams-inspired tonal depth. The desert at night feels infinite, painted only by starlight.

“NGC 4631 – The Whale Galaxy 🐋💫”
Last night the skies finally cleared, and I had the chance to capture this beautiful edge-on galaxy swimming through the stars. It's called the Whale Galaxy for its shape — and I can definitely see why!
📷 Total exposure: (1h 67m)

[Distance from Earth 30 Million light-years]

Did a little smartphone astrophotography this evening. Unprocessed needle, crowbar, whale and markarian’s chain … #pixel7a #galaxyseason 😲🔭🌌
m81 + m82 shot almost two weeks ago. #GalaxySeason #Astrophotography #Astrophoto

Ok first bit of my attempt to image Markarian’s Chain in the ole #SeestarS50

There’s about 8 Galaxies visible in this shot. Including ngc4477 and ngc 4473

This is about 10 mins of stacked shots, basically straight off the sensor, just AI denoising applied.

Next section being captured now. Will probably post that then leave the scope to it (early start tomorrow)

M101 - The Pinwheel Galaxy

Buenos días #skyshoperos listos para la #galaxySeason de #unistellar
Not very happy with this image of the NGC2403 galaxy but considering the Moon is nearly full and reflecting the water vapor in the atmosphere, I'll take it for now.

Spring *is* #GalaxySeason so took another stab at Messier 51 Whirlpool. Happy with results - for a OSC camera. Next time, would like to try with a mono cam and add some Ha.

May marked the end of my "Elephant Trunk" project - this is a crop of result. Also took another stab at the Sunflower galaxy.

May 15/16 also marked a #LunarEclipse. Here is the moon as it nears full eclipse. This eclipse was noticeably darker than recent past eclipses.
