Jupiter captured from my garden in Devon last night with the Skywatcher Skymax 127. ThenGRS still eludes me! #astrophotography

@AstroPcb Brilliant pics Pete! 🙂

I haven’t managed to do my one of these yet. Knowing me I probably won’t do it until March 😆

@SVBONYsvbony This would be amazing to get the kids and locals involved in astronomy. Set it up in the street and catch some of the neighbours outside and give them a look! 🙂

If anyone is interested I have created a Facebook group for astrophotography. It is for all levels of experience from absolute beginners to seasoned pros.

@AstroPcb @mattkane8 Looks fantastic mate!

@Hijeffyhehe I bet that would be great for the comet 🙂

I found a VERY old image of Andromeda I took, 15+ years ago, with a Canon 5d.

It's not much to look at, but I still love this as it was the first proper DSO I captured and I couldn't believe it!

Do any of you have your first images still?

IC1396 The Elephant's Trunk Nebula (SHO with an OSC).

For the first time I have used a Sii filter with a colour camera to show sulphur, hydrogen alpha, and oxygen in an image. WIP, but happy with the result so far

M31 Andromeda Galaxy

New version with a little (but not enough - yet) ha added. I'll get more time on it later in the year (hopefully!)

IC 1848 the Soul Nebula, in Cassiopeia. It’s a vast star-forming region, about 100 light years across, illuminated by young stars. Stellar winds sculpt dense pillars where stars form.
