I was about to pack up and go to bed but this is happening overhead 🤩

Morning moon image. Hoping my annotations are correct 🤞 #moon #astrophotography


Close up of the open star cluster NGC 6530 in the Lagoon nebula in mono (Ha channel only). #Astrophotography #space #nebula #opencluster

After playing around with my antenna and SDR I managed to get this SSTV image from the ISS. It was only ~30° above the horizon so hopefully will get a better result tomorrow when I have a better pass. #ISS #ARISS

Only managing to capture partial SSTV images from the ISS so far. #ARISS #SSTV #ISS



Last night I had a play with Sharpcap’s live stacking feature…what a wonderful tool! These are straight from Sharpcap with no further edits. Equipment used was W/O Zenithstar 71ED, QHY5iii462c, & HEQ5 mount. #moon #astrophotography #space #spacephoto #sharpcap


I’ve been a bit quiet lately…but for a good reason! I’ve been working on my biggest project yet: a 65-hour 4-panel SHO mosaic of the NGC 6188 aka Fighting Dragons of Ara 🐉 #astrophotography #nebula #tasmania #spacephoto

Welcome to the family 8” Dob! This one’s so big it’s going to need a name! This one is for outreach 🔭 #astronomy #amateurastronomy #astro #Astrophotography

IC 4592 aka Blue Horsehead Nebula located in the constellation Scorpius. 47 x 300” subs with the ASI533MC & Samyang 135mm lens combo. My best image of this target so far. Taken from my home in Southern Tasmania. #Astrophotography #tasmania #space #nebula #bluehorsehead

NGC 6188 aka Rim Nebula aka Fighting Dragons of Ara. Taken with the Seestar S50 in EQ mode. This is around 4 hours of data processed in PIXINSIGHT. I’m also working on a narrowband mosaic of this region with the Edge 8”. 🤩 #astrophotography #ngc6188 #seestarS50

So apparently I only take images of the moon now 🤣This one is from the 14 May. Approx. 98% illumination. This is a 16 panel mosaic from Southern Tasmania. And I promise I’m still doing deep sky photos too! #astrophotography #moon

12 panel mosaic of last nights full moon 🌕 #astrophotography #Moon

Soooo…I tried the Seestar S50 in EQ mode for the first time. I let it run for 6.5 hours on Centaurus A. Did my usual processes in PIX and am blown away by the result 🤩 #seestar #seestars50 #astrophotography
