A bright look at IC 5070, the Pelican Nebula! 20+ hours. Work in progress, I can’t decide if I want to keep this “unnatural” cyan or go with a regular darker blue 💀 115mm and 1600MM

The Pelican Up in the starry constellation Cygnus. Got to go camping at a dark-sky site this weekend, and brought my Paramount mount and Takahashi refractor telescope! 6 hours of luminance, color, and narrowband images together.

The Omega Nebula in Sagittarius...

See that little box near the core of the Milky Way?🧐

That's where this gorgeous emission nebula resides.

The Crescent Nebula was formed by the stellar wind of a Wolf-Rayet star...

This is a 5.5-hour exposure through my telescope in the backyard. One my best ever.

Think I'm lost to astrophotography now, completely addicted. Space didn't have to be this beautiful, it just is for some reason😍.

This was M57 from my last night of true darkness this year.
