Captured M106 and Friends a few weeks ago. We've had solid cloud cover ever since. #M106 #Astrophotography
I captured the Bubble Nebula back in August, but after processing many different times, I think I'm finally happy with it. This is the Final^10 version with nearly 40 hrs of exposures. The bubble is made up of stellar winds racing outward from a star at 4 million mph.

Only 1 hr on the Horsehead and Flame Nebula with H-alpha filter. This is going to be good. It needs about 10 more hours and some RGB stars.
Here is 28 hrs of exposures, this faint nebula is called the Fossil Footprint. I had to manage lots of dew on my mirror and some windy conditions, but it turned out great!

Another #astrophotography piece of mine! Here is the Heart of the Heart Nebula, aka #mellote15. The column of dust and gas is ~8LY.
#Gaia BH1 imaged through a 4" refractor. Pretty neat to see a widefield of this area. I might try with my 8" Newtonian next summer.

Our nearest black hole - Gaia BH1 - Experienced Deep Sky Imaging - Cloudy Nights
Our nearest black hole - Gaia BH1 - posted in Experienced Deep Sky Imaging: I saw this article of a newfound black hole nearest to our solar system. This intrigued me so much that I decided to try to image it with a modest 4 refractor - well I didnt quite have the resolution for blck hole itself but the nearby star. So the star in question was named Gaia DR3 4373465352415301632 and its a mag 14ish star in Ophiuchus and the distance is 1560 light years. Gaia BH1 was a system with an invisib...
