I shoot in light polluted skies outside New York City and although the Pleiades stars are bright, capturing its accompanying dust and reflection nebula is a challenge.
Heart & Soul Nebula Mosaic
The Heart & Soul Nebula mosaic was my first astrophotography mosaic. I decided on IC 1805 and IC 1848 because they were close enough to only require a 2 panel mosaic with my setup.
Pacman Nebula NGC 281
To create the Pacman Nebula NGC 281, I shot 11 hrs of data and used a dynamic narrowband combination in Pixinsight.
The Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380)
Last year I photographed NGC 7380 in color, this year I shot mono. I compare my Wizard Nebula mono photo to last year’s color photo.
Pelican Nebula
It was not until recently I felt uninspired. After shooting the Veil Nebula (again), I felt a bit of repetitive. Don’t get me wrong, I love Cygnus, but I was overstaying my welcome there. I had shot the Veil (twice), North American Nebula (twice), Sadr Region, and Cresecent Nebula. There […]
Veil Nebula
The Veil Nebula is an iconic astrophotography target in the constellation Cygnus. I shot this close-up of it with my Astro-Tech AT115EDT at 644mm using an ASI533MM
Backyard Starry Night
It was a clear gorgeous night on Saturday. I love a clear night on the weekend as I can go out with the telescope and record pictures late into the night. My family and I are going on a camping trip soon and we decided to try out our new […]
Eagle Nebula
M16
M5
Over 13 billion years old and 25,000 light years away, M5 is one of the oldest astronomy objects in our universe.
California Nebula
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.
