Last year I photographed NGC 7380 in color, this year I shot mono. I compare my Wizard Nebula mono photo to last year’s color photo.
Pelican Nebula
It was not until recently I felt uninspired. After shooting the Veil Nebula (again), I felt a bit of repetitive. Don’t get me wrong, I love Cygnus, but I was overstaying my welcome there. I had shot the Veil (twice), North American Nebula (twice), Sadr Region, and Cresecent Nebula. There […]
Veil Nebula
The Veil Nebula is an iconic astrophotography target in the constellation Cygnus. I shot this close-up of it with my Astro-Tech AT115EDT at 644mm using an ASI533MM
Eagle Nebula
M16
M5
Over 13 billion years old and 25,000 light years away, M5 is one of the oldest astronomy objects in our universe.
California Nebula
Another amazing nebula of the Winter skies, the California Nebula was the first nebula I shot in mono with my then new ASI533MM and Antlia 3nm narrowband filters.
The Moon
When I first started astrophotography, the Moon was the first thing I imaged (which is probably the case for most of us). Back then, I took single shots with my mirrorless camera attached to a telescope. I wasn’t aware of techniques like lucky imaging then. With all I have learned […]
The Hercules Cluster
The Hercules Cluster was the first astrophotography target I fell in love with. I finally got the right equipment to shoot it properly a year later.
M81 and M82
M81, otherwise known as Bode’s Galaxy (right) and M82 otherwise known as Cigar Galaxy (left), are two galaxies in the Ursa Major constellation (home of the Big Dipper), located approximately 12 million light-years away from Earth. As neighbors, they share a fascinating history, marked by interactions and mutual influence. Over […]
NGC 2903 Galaxy
NGC 2903 is one of the first galaxies to kick off galaxy season in the northeast. I shot this on my AT115EDT refractor and ASI533MM camera.
