Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), February 6th 2026. What a beauty of the southern sky. Experimenting with exposures, image stacking and processing because I am a massive nerd. Carina Nebula is 8,500 light years away. #astrophotography

Betelgeuse or α Orionis, a red supergiant star in Orion, 500 light years away. With its radius being 700 times that of the Sun, it would engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars if it was at the centre of our solar system. January 26th 2026 #astrophotography
