For those trying to pin down the M101 supernova time, it was after 07:00 UTC (3am EST) 5/16 per my amateur equipment.

@hankgreen I imaged this two nights ago… so close yet so far…

[Dan @ManyWorldsAstro]

A supernova was just discovered today in M101, a bright one at about 14.5 magnitude now. I was two nights too early 😅

M 11 from last week

1h 10m exposure

[Dan @ManyWorldsAstro]

M1 - The Crab Nebula

This is a star that went supernova back in 1054 AD and was recorded by civilizations around the world. It was bright enough to be seen during the day after the explosion.

1h 14m total exposure

I imaged a pair of interacting galaxies with tidal tails located ~50 million light years away.

6h 46m total exposure.

[Dan @ManyWorldsAstro]

Barnard 347

Not many images of this region specifically exist online. Captured over 2 nights last week, 1h 44m total exposure.

[Dan @ManyWorldsAstro]

Staring into our home galaxy, the Milky Way.

The thousands of stars I captured are packed into a frame slightly larger than the full moon. The darker area in the upper left is not an absence of stars, but rather a cloud of gas in space.

@DaydreamAstro M13 from my first night ever imaging. My processing has gotten much better since then so I could easily rework it if interested in this framing.

[Dan @ManyWorldsAstro]

Hundreds of galaxies in the Coma Cluster, located 320 million light years away on average. Imaged on 3/29 and 4/1.
