Saturn looks like a tiny gold flying saucer going across my viewfinder! No pics yet but camera attach is on back order.

Collimation was a cinch!

It’s remarkable what astrophotographers can capture from their back yard. Lauren Hughes @WestwoodAstro took this photo of the Pinwheel Galaxy M101 from his driveway

Note he captured a supernova, which he has labelled SN 2023ixf

The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) 5000 ly distance from us in the constellation Cygnus.
I captured this over 2 nights (Wednesday and Friday) this week with a total of 8 hrs of integrated 5 minute narrowband (Ha and Oiii) exposures. The skies were a bit hazy from the forest fire smoke from Alberta.

In this picturesque scene, we see a yellow sports car driving along an autumnal avenue. The car is sleek and low to the ground, with a powerful engine and clean lines. It seems to hug the road as it speeds along, the driver reveling in the thrill of the ride.

It’s been a while since I have done any narrowband imaging, so I took advantage of last night and spent around 4 hours on IC 1805, capturing the core of the Heart in SHO palate, and thought I would include a monochrome HA image just to offer the perspective.

My third target for season 2023. NGC 4565, aka The Needle galaxy in Coma Berenices. A beautiful side-on spiral galaxy with a bright central core and well defined dust lanes visible in its outer edges. It also has lots of smaller surrounding objects to view. 4 hours of integrated LRGB. Taken 03/30/2023.

We've had a sighting of the USS Ross in the wild, holding a defensive position near Deep Space Nine in a battle against several Terran Empire starships.

After capturing some OIII data a couple of nights afterwards I was able to produce a colour HOO rendering of NGC 2359.

I was fortunate enough to have a little time under some clear skies last night, at least for a couple of hours anyway lol. Enough time to capture some narrowband Ha data on a target I have long been wanting to capture! NGC 2359 aka Thors Helmet approximately 15,000 ly distance in the constellation Canis Major.

When your mount stops tracking in the middle of a 5 minute exposure, you get star trails.

I know being very fortunate with my location & conditions. Also, "comets are like cats 🐈 " (@AwesomeAstroPod πŸ˜…) , they do whatever they want...! But at least it looks promising, that u'll be able to catch it with binoculars. The closest approach is still to come 🀞

Always worth staying out a bit longer. Watching a couple of these beauties on the track, glanced up to see a big bright break up between Mars and Jupiter πŸ‘€πŸŒ
