Well got finished processing last night’s images. Both images I have photographed before but never with new camera. Rosette Nebula and the Pleiades (Merope Nebula).
The Rosette was a 6 hour capture. The Pleiades was 2 hours. The Rosette is about 5000 light years from Earth.

@AlanSoll @sotacita @TexasLulu @dipiteee @Jazzboneplyr1 @Mizzcheevous1 Thanks, it’s a lot of fun. Shooting the 7 sisters tonight, Pleiades. Waiting for main target, Rosette Nebula.

[MDTcarro @Scuba2doCarro]

Probably one of the most iconic shots in the winter sky is M42 , Great Orion Nebula and the Running Man nebula. Night was clear and cold and got a good 5 hours of integration of data.

@TexasLulu @sotacita @AlanSoll @dipiteee @Jazzboneplyr1 @Mizzcheevous1 What is amazing is getting rid of the light pollution from where I live. I guess there is a reason for filters.

@Jazzboneplyr1 @sotacita @AlanSoll @TexasLulu @dipiteee @Mizzcheevous1 Thanks, the processing is a challenge but a lot of fun.

@TexasLulu @sotacita @AlanSoll @dipiteee @Jazzboneplyr1 @Mizzcheevous1 Yeah, not so much comfort yesterday and today when I was shoveling snow for scope area for tonight’s capturing party. Thinking of doing the Rosette Nebula on the new asi2600 camera Sherry and Julia got me for Christmas.

Did a short exposure of a couple of hours of the North America Nebula and Pelican Nebula while waiting for other object to come up in night sky. Beautiful span of a golden wide angle in space shot at 270mm at F4.5.

[MDTcarro @Scuba2doCarro]

Been taking some shots with the limited clear skies lately with my Askar V. Shot at 600mm at F

This is the Randy that got taken down by the high winds that destroyed the focuser. Had long extension tube to make sure he doesn’t bang camera on legs when on full Zenith.

Had to get a picture of a visitor that won’t be back for 110 million years. #comet #TsuchinshanATLAS #Astrophotography #Evostar 120 #asi533mc pro #Heqpro

New image of Flaming Star Nebula, IC405. It is approximately 1500 light years from Earth and 5 light years wide. Auriga is central variable star.

[MDTcarro @Scuba2doCarro]

Wanted to revisit Andromeda (M31) with my new setup that I am still ironing out. Photo was a 2 hour capture post processing done in Affinity. #Astrophotography #Evostar #Astronomy #Space

[MDTcarro @Scuba2doCarro]

Last night’s capture of Dumbbell nebula approximately 1370 light years from Earth . This is a planetary nebula present in the constellation Vulpecula.

[MDTcarro @Scuba2doCarro]

Really happy that I had an hour of flawless 5 minute captures x 9. The following is straight out of Asiair with minor post-processing in Adobe. I plan to do another image in more formal Astro editing program , Affinity. This image is the Trifid Nebula. #astrophotography

[MDTcarro @Scuba2doCarro]

This is a shot of M16, Eagle Nebula. This is home to iconic image of “The Pillars of Creation “ #Astrophotography #evostar

[MDTcarro @Scuba2doCarro]

@sotacita It’s a blast!

@AJamesMcCarthy Amazing shot, you must be over the moon! Can’t wait for the post processing
