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.
The Pleiades (2022)
Taken in December 2022 – January 2023, this was my first picture of The Pleiades which is also my (and many other photographers) favorite thing in the sky.
Rosette Nebula
Caldwell 49
The Horsehead and Flame Nebula
The Horsehead and Flame Nebula is a classic winter target and one of the most beautiful targets in astrophotography. I took this on my Redcat 51 with an ASI533MM mono camera which I believe framed this target perfectly.
The Flaming Star & Tadpoles Nebula
Another favorite winter target, I was able to frame both these nebulas using a Redcat 51 and ASI533MM.
