There's gonna be some #Astronomy tonight!

I've not dabled with telescopes or #astrophotography for a while, and recently treated myself to a #dwarf3 #smartTelescope.

After the inevitable, and very frustrating, period of overcast skies with any new equipment, including due to the Dwarf's solar capabilities daytime cloudlessness to the North only, here is first light. Suburban sky with heavy light pollution, Bortle 6/7, but the dwarf had no difficulty calibrating even if I could only see a handful of stars.

The Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest neighbour to the Milky Way, just 2.5 million light years away, so this is how it looked when early humans were using flints.

I'm quite pleased with this first effort, basically using the suggested parameters and the built-in processing. Very pleased as to how much is built into the small package. Much more to learn and definitely a cosmic hobby.

Had a 20 minute session with this pretty open cluster last night.

This is Caldwell 96, and it looks more to me like The Sprinter than the Southern Beehive. Its two big red giants are pretty clear.

I don't think I have taken this one with the #Dwarf3 before.

NGC 3372, nebulosa Eta Carinae, es aproximadamente cuatro veces más grande y más brillante que la famosa nebulosa de Orión.

Se encuentra a una distancia estimada de 7500 años luz de la Tierra

It is nearly #Christmas , so here is a very seasonally appropriate target.

#NGC2264 is comprised of two parts - there is the #ConeNebula , which is a #DarkNebula , and the accompanying #ChristmasTreeCluster . For us here in #Australia this is a #Summer complex - appearing for us in the lead up to Christmas itself.

This is a two and half hour exposure, or 150 frames, at 60s/frame, gain 80, using the inbuilt Ha/OIII filter, shot on a #Dwarf3 #SmartTelescope .

Post processing was using Stellar Studio in the app, and #Snapseed.

Before we had the sudden storm with lightning and rain, together with temperatures around 40C, it had been a pretty clear week. Towards the end it started to get a bit windy, but we were able to get some nice images going.

I experimented with some mosaics - some worked, some didn't. If you click on the images, they'll embiggen.

A mosaic which worked quite well - popularly known as Orion's Belt, however local Ballardong Nyoongar people may call this part of Nyingarn, the Echidna's head. Orion's sword is Nyingarn's snout, and Orion's bow forms the curve of Nyingarn's round body.

Then the seasonally appropriate Christmas Tree Cluster, a bit of a look at the sky around it and the Cone Nebula.

And a four hour look at Orion's great Nebula.

Be safe everyone and know that our thoughts are with you all.
