This is an unusual one. It's the irregular galaxy IC 1613 in Cetus. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

This is Sharpless 2-261, or Lower's Nebula, in Orion. I was only able to get this for about five hours a night without sacrificing sleep, so this is three nights of it. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

A nice little pairing. This is the Bubble Nebula in the lower left, and the open star cluster M52 in the upper right. The Bubble is devilishly hard to get right. A least, I find it so. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

This is that interstellar object again, but starless. 31 Atlas. This is a better-stacked try at it. Forty 90-second images with genuine comet stacking. However, I did not manage to reintroduce the stars without the whole thing turning to crap. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

For those who've asked me if I'm going to try for that interstellar object 31/Atlas, a game attempt with a 6" scope. You're supposed to have a 16" scope to do it justice. This is 10 100-second images, manually stacked, which is why the stars look weird. #Astronomy #astrophotography

Happy book birthday to FALLING APART AND OTHER GIFTS FROM THE UNIVERSE, by @catherineryanhyde.bsky.social! Two very different people—each lost in their own way—find an unexpected healing connection in a poignant novel about redemption and chosen family.

I only got another 45 minutes on my M33 (Triangulum Galaxy) image last night, but I guess that's better than nothing. Brought it up to five hours at least. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

This is the Fireworks Galaxy in Cygnus. Unlike the last galaxy I posted, this is very small and hard to capture (the image is heavily cropped). This one needs quite a bit more time. Fingers crossed I get it. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

This is four hours of the big, beautiful galaxy M33 in Triangulum. Eight-ten would be better. I might be able to get another four or five tonight, but I'm not sure what the weather will do. After tonight, I'm very sure--clouds and rain. #astronomy #astrophotography

There was a nice grouping this morning of the moon with Jupiter and the stars Castor and Pollux. But it was foggy when I woke up. At one point the fog thinned and the moon and Jupiter were bright enough to show through. #Astronomy #astrophotography

This was purely an experiment. I've never managed to do much with the tiny, faint cluster NGC 7006. I tried a 4X barlow, even though I knew it would introduce new problems. Not a great image, but worth trying. #Astronomy #astrophotography

Still a very active solar surface. In fact, incoming coronal mass ejections will probably bring aurora displays. If you live at a high latitude, try taking a picture of the northern sky. The sensor sees things you don't. #Astronomy #Astrophotography
