#dwarf3 — Public Fediverse posts

ρ-Ophiuchi Nebula Complex and friends.

Located at the meeting of Scorpio and Ophiuchus, this is arguably the most venomous part of the sky.

Let's look around.

Down the bottom we have Antares, a red supergiant, illuminating IC4606 - the Antares Nebula, and next to it the edge of the globular cluster M4.

Above M4 is a region illuminated by Al Niyat or Sigma Scorpii.

In between and above M4 and Antares is the tiny globular cluster NGC6144.

Directly above that is IC4603, and above that is the edge of what is recognised as IC6404, the ρ-Ophiuchi nebula itself.

Lastly, almost directly above Antares is IC4605 - the Blue Angel nebula.

Shot with a #Dwarf3 from my back yard in suburban #PerthWA , post processed in Stellar Studio, #Snapseed , and #GooglePhotos . Total exposure 6:19, 60s subs at gain 80, Ha/OIII filter.

I’ve stacked and cleaned up the shots from last night’s run, here is the result. The Lagoon Nebula, Messier 8, shot from my garden. It looks to be an area, or volume rather, of star formation. I think that is the Triffid Nebula in the bottom left of shot. #dwarf3 #astrophotography

The last clear sky for a few days, and the moon’s getting up so no more Astro shots after this for at least two weeks. This is the middle of a run on Messier 8, aka the Lagoon Nebula. I think the Triffid Nebula is in the bottom left of shot. I’ll see how this comes out in the morning and maybe post a cleaned up version then. #dwarf3 #astrophotography

Milky Way, shot from my garden last night #dwarf3 #astrophotography

Result of first attempt at a shot of the Milky Way from my garden last night. Can ony see a small portion of the arc, some gas clouds visible. Will keep trying this for a few nights, weather permitting. #astrophotography #dwarf3

Trying my first shot of the Milky Way with the #Dwarf3. Even on wide angle I’m just getting some of the sweep. Let’s see what it looks like by morning when it’s stacked up a thousand shots. #astrophotography

I can't blame Musk for this one.

This is a passing jet! And comet C/2025 R3 PANSTARRS.

So last night was our usual Friday night RPG session, this time with @leece GMing. In honour of #Mermay we are playing a bunch of #mermaid police constables in a magical Victorian London.

While we were gaming, though, our #Dwarf3 #SmartTelescope s were beavering away at the comet #C2025r3panstarrs , which has just invaded the foot of #Orion .

Here is the result of one of the shots. Post processing in Stellar Studio and #Snapseed .

It has been a while since I've posted a #Sun #Photo .

So here is one from today. A nice spread of sunspots, but no monsters ... Yet.

M3 war gestern auch okay. Aber nicht zufriedenstellend. Das #Dwarf3 Update musste ausprobiert werden. https://chaos.social/@dagger/116506224674731784

Ein Bild vom Vollmond von gestern Nacht.
Mit meinen #Dwarf3 gemacht.

"First Light" 😎

Got my smart telescope yesterday just in time for a week of clouds. But caught a bit of a break this morning.

Hardly know what I'm doing even after reading the manual and watching videos. This is downloaded from the scope to my phone, uploaded onto my desktop and cropped in Affinity with only a little bit of brightness and contrast.

First thing I learned is I need a chair or stool to sit on while I ponder the UI 😆

Just a 10 minute look at the Carina Nebula with the Dwarf 3 and some #Snapseed editing.

Aldebaran shot from my garden last night #dwarf3 #astrophotography

In honor of #InternationalDarkSkyWeek, here’s my first attempt at imaging M81 (Bode’s Galaxy, bottom) and M82 (the Cigar Galaxy, top), both 12 million light years away. Not the best capture, as I’m still figuring out the nuances of my Dwarf 3 scope, but I wanted to share. In the wake of Artemis II, may we come to a deeper appreciation of the staggering beauty of the universe out there, and preserve our night skies so we can see it.

I've had the telescope out for the last few days before the cloud has come in. This month's target from #AstronomyGroupOfWesternAustralia is The Statue of Liberty #nebula

I went a different path with the editing because I was struck with the sheer volume of stars in the area and didn't want dampen them down. So I left most of them in and upped the colour because I thought it looked cool.

This month's target of the month from AGWA is the Statue of Liberty Nebula ( #NGC3579 ), which is in Carinae, and near the famous Eta Carinae Nebula.

This is three hours with a #Dwarf3 in Ha/OIII . Post processing in #Snapseed and Stellar Studio.

Spiral galaxy Messier 99 shot from my garden last night #astrophotography #dwarf3

NGC2467, aka the Skull and Crossbones nebula, a star-forming region in Puppis. Shot my garden last night with a #Dwarf3. #astrophotography

And now the Pac-Man nebula!

#dwarf3 #Astrodon #astrophotography #photography

Quick and dirty edit to brighten things up and saturate it a bit more. It’s probably a bit over-saturated, but I think it’s pretty good for 2 minutes with Windows’ photo viewer at work 😅

#dwarf3 #Astrodon #astrophotography #photography

The North America nebula! Two and a half hours of exposure from my porch with the Dwarf 3. Only “edits” were the Dwarf’s star correction and noise removal - no manual touch-ups to stacking (yet)

So the challenge from my Astronomy club for us this month is The Rosette Nebula, Caldwell 49 or NGC 2237.

This is a bit of a rough cut - I've not seen it done with an OIII SII filter before, and I'd like to add some more frames. Thanks to @rdm for lending me the filter!
