  1. Last night was surprisingly successful for #astrophotography. I shot five targets, and got good results for three of them. The fifth ... I'll add its data to my previous sessions later.

    First up was the #Moon. At about 3/4 full, it is now a major issue for many targets, but makes for a great image itself, as the surface is mostly visible, but still has the sun hitting at an angle, so we get great shadows.

    Second was the #TarantulaNebula , aka #C103 or #NGC2070 .

    Next up was a bit of an experiment - #Orion 's Belt. This was a roughly 1 hour mosaic, and I am pretty pleased with how it has come out.

    Last for the evening was the #BeehiveCluster or #M44. I don't often shoot clusters, but I thought this was in a good position. Sadly there is no nebulosity associated with it. Despite this, it has come up looking very pretty.

    Here is a little collage of the evenings shots.

  3. As promised. The Tarantula Nebula (a noted HII region), as seen through an OIII/Ha filter.

    400*15s Gain 80. #DwarfII postprocessed in #snapseed.

  5. Right now I am shooting a target I have shot before - the Tarantula Nebula.

    And it looks really weird tonight.

    So I read up on it a little. 'Active HII region' . Hmmm

    Looks at current filter : Ha/OIII.

    Ah, that will do it. Still, I am continuing with the shoot, as the effect is rather pleasing.

    Photo to follow... in a couple of hours.
