Last call for Orion Nebula.. the setting of Orion early in the evening sky marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring.

This is the nearest star-forming region to Earth at 1,500 light years, and many new stars are forming inside its gas and dust clouds.

Shot with 4.6 hours of exposure at Lake Sonoma, CA. #astrophotography

Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor at 2.5 million light-years away.

I shot this with over 11 hours of exposure under dark skies (Mohave Desert near Joshua Tree).

Doing a run of fine art prints for my latest 'Flame and Horsehead Nebula' image. DM me if you'd like one!

I shot the "green comet" (C/2022 E3) that's been in the media recently. It makes its closest approach to Earth on Wednesday, Feb 1st. It was only faintly visible with the naked eye in dark skies, but a two-hour exposure shows the greenish glow from carbon gas and a rarely seen antitail.

My first Mastodon post. Here's the iconic Horsehead and Flame nebula. I did over six hours of exposure around Alnitak, the left-most star in the belt of Orion. I love the colors and detail in this area of the sky. This was shot near Joshua Tree National Park, California.
