  1. This picture represents one of the happiest photos I've taken. Last week I had a mishap and my rig had a run-in with an unexpected sprinkler that ran overnight. Electronics are not a fan of water. It all survived thankfully (minus a LiFePo4 battery pack) and this is data from 4/29. M101 - Pinwheel galaxy. #astrophotography #m101 #pinwheelgalaxy #zwo #am5 #asi294mm

  2. This is Messier 101, also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy. M101 is 21 million light years away from earth. This represents 6 hours of RGB data taken over two nights in Hemet, CA. #astrophotography #m101 #pinwheelgalaxy #zwo #astro-tech #asi294mm #am5

  3. Markarian’s Chain is a string of galaxies located towards the center of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster. Markarian’s Chain contains at least 7 different galaxy members that appear to move coherently: notably 2 huge, bright lenticular galaxies known as M84 and M86. This shot was taken on March 24th from Picacho Peak State Park in Picacho, AZ. #astrphotography #zwoam5 #astro-tech #zwo #asi294mm #MarkariansChain

  4. All set up and ready to go with the new highly mobile rig. Still waiting on a pier extension so I’ll have to be careful tonight but excited to finally have a clear night to test everything out. #astrophotgraphy #zwo #am5 #astro-tech #asi294mm #astronomy
