Got some clear skies yesterday, so took a photo of the moon in its waxing crescent phase which lasts for a week after new moon. Took a 10 minute video and 90 minutes of processing time. #moon #moonphotography #waxingmoon #astrophotography #edmonton #canada #india #chile #astrophotosnerd #seestar
Thats an amazing shot! I was lucky enough to take a shot of the plane crossing the sun once 😁
It’s been super cold out so pointed my telescope at the moon from my window for 10 minutes. Processing the image took another hour. Here is the result. Probably would have been better if the thick window glass didn’t make it difficult to achieve crystal clear focus.

Moon tonight! Captured it from the window as it’s -24 degree celsius outside. #moon #astrophotography
Finding and tracking moon is a challenge when it is very cloudy! #astrophotography #seestars50 #edmonton
Took a video of the Moon from inside the house as the weather has been sub zero for days. Telescope - Askar 65PHQ, Mount - ZWO AM3. No filters used #astrophotography #astrophotosnerd
Took some photos of the Moon during day time. These are unedited photos taken with my phone and C8. #astrophotography #astrophotosnerd #moon
Clouds were relentless, but finally got a glimpse of the comet T-ATLAS as I was entering the supermarket! #astrophotography #astrophotosnerd #comet
After many cloudy nights, finally got a clear one. Took a 10 minute stack of 10 second exposures of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) with my Seestar S50. Given that I live in a Bortle-7 city, I think it came out quite nice! #astrophotography #astrophotosnerd
Took a photo of the Sun with my phone on my C8 and .63 focal reducer. #sun #celestron #astrophotosnerd #astrophotography
The Sun! Look closely and you'll see sunspots. Those dark patches are cooler areas on the Sun's surface caused by intense magnetic activity. They are fascinating as they give us insights into the solar cycle and the Sun's magnetic behavior. #astrophotography #sun #sunspots #astrophotosnerd
