I processed my Soul Nebula data from my Death Valley trip a couple of weeks ago. This is a big star formation region in Cassiopeia, 6,500 light years away.

This is 116 two minute subs, shot with an astro modified Canon EOS R8 and an Askar 71f (490mm f/l) scope. I used NINA and a guide scope in the data acquisition too. The mount was an AM3N.

The bulk of the processing was Siril, including Starnet++ and Cosmic Clarity, with a little more noise reduction help from Topaz.

I think this could use some more data, so I’m in the “astrophotography is never done” phase of things. 😉

Here’s a lovely picture of our home from Reid Wiseman from the #artemis mission. 😍#astrophotography #aurora

I would just pop in the url here, but the share sheet seems wonky. If you install the NASA app, go to the Artemis II tab, and go to News you can see the whole shebang. Plus many other awesome space pics!

This is really quite bad. The FDA’s Prasad succeeded in creating enough regulatory roadblocks such that Pfizer gave up on its #covid #covid19 vaccine trial for healthy adults.
