Kudos to all the amazing people who make and provide all the equipment and software that allows me to basically push some buttons and take photos like the Cocoon nebula. The sky was hazy and smoky, and yet 86 x 60s exposures still pulled in the nebula. I am deeply grateful.

There were plenty of #Prominences visible on the #Sun on 3rd April 2023. #CoronadoPST H-alpha solar telescope, 2x Barlow & #ZWO #ASI120MC camera. I took a 1,000 frame video & stacked the best 50%. #Sunspot group #AR13270 is visible in the 3rd image

The #Sun in white light and H-alpha on 3rd April 2023. Taken from Oxfordshire with a #CoronadoPST + 2x Barlow & #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor fitted with a #ThousandOaks glass solar filter + #Celestron 3x Barlow. #ZWO #ASI120MC camera. Lots of #filaments & #AR13270 was looking gorgeous

@rsliva Thanks. I used a #skywatcher 250/1200 and a #zwo ASI 533MC-PRO camera. I don't think I used my 2x Barlow lens, but I should check the log again. My biggest problem is light pollution. #lightpollution

IC433 The Jellyfish Nebula in Gemini is the remnant of a supernova explosion from 5,000 years ago. Hydrogen within the molecular cloud is excited by the shock waves from the supernova creating the lattice like filaments.
This is approx 4hrs of 3min subs using a William Optics Zenithstar 61 telescope and ZWO ASI 533 MC-Pro camera

@AlexSanterne @AkaSci @sgrouffal @atomicbee I mad a shoot of the comet saturday, When I will have time to properly stack the images I will post it :). It not trivial to shoot a comet with a monochrome #zwo camera.
M42 Orion Nebula
Zenithstar 61 with ZWO ASI 533MC Pro and Optolong L-Pro filter.
Just under 2hrs of integration - tried to bring out the trapezium and some of the surrounding dust but have blown it out a little.

Had two hours before the dutch clouds came back so I tried the Horsehead Nebula, IC 434.
Setup contains ASI533mm Pro, RedCat 51, HEQ5 Pro, ASI120mm S (for auto-guiding) and ASIAir ✨
🔭 Clear skies everyone!
Lights (12h, 50min): 10 x L, 10 x R, 10 x G, 8 x B of 180 seconds each,

Just a quick target of opportunity. About 45 minutes on each channel of LRGB on NGC 2395 while waiting for M78 to clear the tree line and house. Full size and annotated image on my astrobin page, same username. Thanks for looking. #astrodon #astrophotography #zwo #skywatcher

For me, this part of the nebula always looks a bit like an alien face in the profile.

Oh dear! My new #ZWO #AM5 mount has arrived which means i must enter the dark world of #OAG. Night 1 did NOT go well and so i am reconfiguring and tweaking for Night 2. Beginning to wonder why i bothered! All i wanted the mount for was its lightweight 🤦🏻♂️🔭 #Consequences #astro

The Andromeda Galaxy (Measier 31) is the closest large galaxy to our Milky Way and is one of the few galaxies that can be seen unaided from the Earth. Image taken in Bortle 5 backgarden.
