Space is really cool.

Carina. A giant, chaotic stellar nursery filled with massive stars and dramatic gas structures.

First seen in LRGB, then the sky lights up with the addition of H-alpha.

What do you do when you get out to dark skies? Well, it’s obvious, right? You capture one of the most iconic objects in the sky….The Horse Head Nebula. This is a little under three hours using the SW Esprit 100 and the ASI2600MC Pro, captured from beautiful Gecko Rock reserve.

Heya Pleiades! Nice to see you this year around !

[Alex de Kock @Alex_CPT]

200 minutes of data and now I’m starting to see the improvements, if the weather holds for tonight, I’ll aim for 300 minutes. As in not guiding, I’ve left my subs at 1min which is working out fairly well - I would normally push for 5 minutes when guiding!

[Alex de Kock @Alex_CPT]

Two nights of data and building, about 2 hours worth of exposure time now. Hoping to snag another hour tonight

[Alex de Kock @Alex_CPT]

Bit rusty when it comes to the color balance but it’s good to be back under bortle 2 skies. The first night of many of the weather plays its part!
