I created it from photos taken with a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor, Altair Herschel wedge, Celestron 3x Barlow + ASI120MC camera. #AstronomySketch #SunSketch

A shamelessly over processed image from last night's session. So much light pollution made it hard (should have put the filter on) but I've learned so much from all the mistakes I made! And having a lot of fun.

I've never managed to get all the kit to work until now so this has made me so happy. I've taken photos of the Orion Nebula before but it's always been hit or miss, and never with a properly polar aligned mount or a guide scope. It's incredible the difference it makes. I'm hooked all over again!
40 x 30sec light frames, 3 x dark frames. Stacked in Affinity Photo

Up and running. Loving the ASIAir Pro. Finally managed to plate solve and polar align within 4” error (I thank you). Sadly by the time I was set up the moon had come out to spoil the party so no comet tonight. Having a go at the Orion Nebula instead 🤞 #Zwo #Astrophotography #WilliamOptics #Nikon

My 1st attempt imaging #IC405 #Caldwell31 the #FlamingStarNebula. It needs way more data, but this was 89 x 90 seconds + 35 darks, taken from Oxfordshire with an astro-modded #Canon1100D with a light pollution clip filter attached to a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor

#OrionsSword + #M42 the #OrionNebula taken from Oxfordshire 16th Jan 2023. #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor + astro-modded #Canon1100D on an EQ5 Pro mount. 105 x 30 seconds + 23 darks for the main image, the core was 21 x 8 seconds, all shot at ISO-3200.

#LunarOccultationOfMars 06:01 UT 8th December reprocessed. This image was taken as Mars re-emerged from behind the #Moon. #ASI120MC camera, #Celestrron 3x Barlow #WilliamOptics 70mm #refractor Full technical details are on my Flickr page #Mars #Occultation #LunarOccultation

2 years ago today we imaged the #Jupiter #Saturn #conjunction. They were so close together than they were visible at the same time in the eyepiece of our #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor! They were even closer on 21st December but we had solid cloud/rain that night. We will never see them this close again in our lifetime so I'm really happy we got to see this 🙂 #planets #PlanetaryPhotography
