After a night of shooting and 3 months of processing, I can finally call my favorite shot to date complete.

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do :)

Me and my friend @Astro__Che discovered this nebula by pointing our $500 camera lenses and random spots in the sky

Me and my friend discovered a nebula in the sky just as large as the andromeda Galaxy! This is the lightning bolt nebula

[Che @Astro__Che]

@astrofalls Was an honor working with you 🫡

[Bray Falls @astrofalls]

Working on editing an image today of a supernova remnant I discovered with a friend! It is almost 3 degrees long which makes it bigger than the andromeda Galaxy in angular size

@TasmanSkies @astrofalls LTT shows how this sort of thing can be navigated. Ultimately the value in a reviewer is the trust, and if a reviewers motives aren't made clear (such as money changing hands), then that gets eroded.

[Che @Astro__Che]

@astrofalls What you described is a sponsored video, and happens fairly regularly on tech channels (such as LTT). Just gotta be open about if money is calling it, and make sure to not call it a review, even if your opinion is honest. Reviews are only as valuable as the trust the viewer has.

Inferno

Showcasing the B&C telescope situated at Mount John Observatory, a 61cm RC usually operated at F6.25. It's a student favourite because it takes the best photos off all the telescopes at the observatory, while also being the easiest to use.

Last week NZ had an absolutely amazing aurora, check out my timelapse and single shot from that night!

I’d like to acknowledge that our good friend and rocket photography extraordinaire @johnkrausphotos has been completely locked out of twitter since yesterday, for an arbitrary and silly reason, the day of the biggest launch of his career. Worst possible timing 🤦‍♂️

Super proud of the fact that this image won the NZ astrophotography competition for 2022!
