***PLEASE READ***PLEASE READ*** INTRODUCTION Hello all. Since I'm pretty much starting over again, I thought I'd introduce myself. My name REALLY is ray and SADLY that is REALLY me in my profile picture. Full version attached below. I'm 58, going on 90, at…

Just playing with the GoPro. Time Lapse of the storm moving through.

Here we go. One from last year and one from 2013. YES, I have all the data!! I have stuff from 2011 when I first started all this. EVERY space object I've shot, I have all the RAWS on an external drive. First, The tadpole Nebula from last year. Again, more detail. Second is M-1…

Today's theme: Architecture One of the Gargoyles at Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin. Albert Einstein used the scope here which happens to be the world's largest refractor telescope.

Today's Daily Picture Theme is 'Empty' RT or reply with your own photo. The decay of humanity. Added the sepia because it just seemed right.

Another one from a year ago. This is IC-405, Flaming Star Nebula. YES, it IS the Flaming Star Nebula. LOL

Another one from over a year ago. I FULLY plan on shooting this now as I have better filters, the scope is FINALLY dialed in to guide and have better processing tools. This is M-78.

It's cloudy so I am working on shooting new calibration frames for the L-Ultimate Filter and looking at old data to re-process since I've gained some more tools. This is the Heart Nebula from last year. I was able to bring out more details and outer nebulosity.

Every night has a story to tell. Let's see your favourite night shot 📸 📷 It's not light painting but it IS Nature light painting!!! LOL

QT Wing Art No AI needed. Just good ole fashioned photo editing. Dragon created in Bryce 7 Pro. Background taken with my drone.

The last couple of nights have been kind to me. Here is what I'm working on. First is NGC-7635, The Bubble Nebula. The second is M-71/SH2-84. Done with M-71, the globular cluster, and am going to start shooting that nebula SH2-84. Looks like a cool target to focus on.

We need more photography on 𝕏. 📸If you agree, post a picture.

Today’s photo theme is: Water. 💦 A day late but here it is.

Drop a photo “Anything to do with the sun” Sunspot group with the 8" last year.

Do you have a sunbeam photo?

More re-processing. M-8 The Lagoon Nebula and M-20, The Trifid Nebula. Brought out a bunch if fainter nebulosity and more detail in brighter areas.

Share a tranquil moment. #TranquilThursday

*****NOT MY WORK***** If you haven't seen the incredible work by this VERY artistic photographer, you NEED too!! I have NO idea how he does this, but DAMN! It's SO cool!
