Shot this the other night with a 135mm lens and OSC camera. Interesting focal length where you can combine multiple deep sky objects in one frame. Here is the Perseus Double Cluster (left) and the Heart & Soul nebulas (right). 47x300s subs.

Here is a single 5 min sub from my latest project, NGC 7331 & Friends images on my 8” SCT. I’ve got 11 hrs of L and am waiting for a couple of moonless clear night to finish capturing RGB and Ha. Hopefully this week, the weather will cooperate. 🔭 #Astrophotography

Here is my completed processing of SH2-114, The Flying Dragon Nebula in Cygnus. This is an extremely faint emission nebula I captured from my deck in Central, MA over 5 nights in Aug and Sept... about 24 hrs of data total.(see ALT text for capture details) 🔭 #Astrophotography

Here is 13 hrs of Ha data from my latest work-in-progress, “The Flying Dragon Nebula” in Cygnus. I did a quick process & removed the stars in PixInsight. Still need to capture RGB and maybe some SII but so far so good. Imaged from my yard with a Stellarvue SVX80 and 0.8 reducer. 🔭 #Astrophotography

We took Fred and ourselves for a biking adventure on the Cape Cod Rail Trail this weekend. He did great and enjoyed sniffing sniffs from the comfort of the Tail Wagon pet trailer we rented with the bikes.

Here is a view near the center of the Milky Way in the southern sky I took with a 135mm camera lens at Stellafane in Springfield VT. It’s a smorgasbord of deep sky objects with M16, M17, M24, M25 & many others. This was about 2.75 hrs of data imaged with no filters. 🔭 #Astrophotography

Making a batch of Roy’s Hawaiian Martinis. You soak the sliced pineapple in booze and simple syrup for 5 days. Delicious.

I was hoping to be more prolific during galaxy season but the weather has not cooperated. I did get an LRGB capture of NGC 3817 & NGC 3829 through my 8” SCT at f/10. I need more L data to bring out the tidal halo better but it’s a good start.🔭 #Astrophotography
