🌐Blue snowball nebula ngc7662 in constellation Andromeda. Small and bright (short 30s exposures). I had to find the sweet spot to make the inner structure visible. Happy to see it’s unique features appearing. #ngc7662 #bluesnowballnebula Size 0.5x0.5arcmin #planetarynebula #astrofotografie #astrophotography #narrowbandimaging #ioptroncem25p #williamopticszs73 #asi533mcpro #asiairpro #optolonglultimate #astropixelprocessor #starnetv2 320x30s bortle5 sky

Ngc7027 planetary nebula (PN) in constellation Cygnus. Combination of 3hours of 600s long and 3hours of 30s short exposures. Quite challenging to remove the overexposed PN (see photo grid). The PN has a spiky rectangular shape. The hydrogen clouds creates a nice background. #ngc7027 #planetarynebula #narrowbandimaging #astrophotography #astrofotografie #ioptroncem25p

Sh1-89 planetary nebula, IC1369 open cluster, dark nebula in constellation Cygnus. There are a lot of tiny planetary nebulae with a variety of interesting forms, but often hard to image. This one is a nice combination of clustered stars, dark nebulae, hydrogen nebulae and this planetary nebula #sh189 #planetarynebula #ic1396 #astrophotography #ioptroncem25p #asiairpro #williamopticsz73 #optolonglultimate 3nm dualband 9h45m 900s subs #narrowbandimaging #astropixelprocessor bortle5 sky

Fully stripped down and rebuilt so it’s balanced and secure. I’ve also found somewhere to attach the red dot finder. #HowISpendASaturday #williamoptics #asiairpro #zwo #nikon #astrophotography

I've never managed to get all the kit to work until now so this has made me so happy. I've taken photos of the Orion Nebula before but it's always been hit or miss, and never with a properly polar aligned mount or a guide scope. It's incredible the difference it makes. I'm hooked all over again!
