The quantum world fascinates me. We can't be alone out here...can we?

My first ever SHO narrowband & Hubble pallette image! Only collected about 4 hours total on IC 1805 due to work & clouds. I know I need to nail down the processing of the stars and these types of images, but it's a start,

[AstroAm 🔭 @OGAstroAm]

Found some data of Jupiter I collected in 2023. Processed it, and it came out decent.

@astro_jaz This is just the first part of my IC 1805 project in H-Alpha. So far so good.

[AstroAm 🔭 @OGAstroAm]

@SamiiKS93 Thank you!

[AstroAm 🔭 @OGAstroAm]

IC 1805, also known as The Heart Nebula. This is Ha data I collected last night. I will collect the SII and OIII over the next couple weeks. Equipment: EQ6-R Pro mount, Radian Raptor61 refractor, ZWO ASI1600MM Pro, ZWO EFW, EAF, ASIAir Plus, ASI120MM Mini (guide camera)

@Fang__Banger Nice! I need to plan a trip.

[AstroAm 🔭 @OGAstroAm]

I got back into astrophotography after a couple of years due to work situation. This is a single 600 second frame of IC 434 in Ha. I'm hooked all over again. Equipment: EQ6-R Pro mount, Radian Raptor61 refractor, ZWO ASI1600MM Pro, ZWO EFW, EAF, ASIAir Plus, ASI120MM Mini.

@MAstronomers I imaged this galaxy as well from my backyard. Using a Celestron 8"SCT. So fun.

@harris_wins Yeah Obama did this when he was in office. A little to late to be worried about it.

2 hours of the Western Veil nebula imaged from Fresno, CA. First deep sky image in almost 2 months my processing in Pixinsight is a little bit rusty! 😂😂

It's been a couple months since I have done any astrophotography but I was finally able to get some time under the sky to capture these images of Jupiter and Saturn.

[AstroAm 🔭 @OGAstroAm]

@SkyScraperPrime Astrocamera like a ASI183MC Pro but again it depends on how much you want to spend. Also a nice mount will make your astrophotography much less frustrating.

[AstroAm 🔭 @OGAstroAm]

Near the end of my imaging session I grabbed some quick data of the Lagoon & Trifid nebulas. Being able to take images like this is what makes me love astrophotography.

@SkyScraperPrime Honestly I'd depends on what you want to spend and what type of astro you want do. I started with a Celestron 8 SCT for visual astronomy but then morphed into astrophotography. So I started backwards really. But I would suggest something in the 200-300mm focal length and a color

@JRSchmit I'm not sure why it came out like this when uploaded to Twitter. The original image I have does not have this problem.
