@AstroBackyard Thank you 😁

The wizard nebula shot with my Tpo/gso Rc6, zwo asi533mm and antlia sho edge 4.5nm filters. All on top of the losmandy g11g mount running sgpro on a beelink mini pc.

Thank you for looking and always keep your head up to the stars!

Who feels like this?

[Kurt Kimbrell @Gorilla_astro]

So I got clouded out here at my home and couldn't polar align so I tried something different for the first time. An artistic approach with the Askar FMA135 and Canon EOS R #BloodMoon #Eclipse2022 #astrophotography

Nicely done by @AJamesMcCarthy

I've been shooting Jupiter almost every night for the last 6 weeks. Here's the timelapse I was able to create by aligning all the shots where the Great Red Spot was centered. This was a ton of work, so I'm thrilled it turned out this good despite constantly changing conditions

[Kurt Kimbrell @Gorilla_astro]

@AstroBackyard Nice work there

[Kurt Kimbrell @Gorilla_astro]

Last year I tried what people said can't be done. Squid with an OSC. Filter of choice for this Optolong L-extreme. To say this was easy to process is a darn lie! It was a pain but I am proud. #Astrophotography #nebulae #nightlife #stars #optolong #optcorp #cosmos #nasa

Thanks for sharing my work @OPT_Telescopes

According to @Gorilla_astro, this image of M33, the Triangulum Galaxy was both challenging and rewarding.

A yearning of freedom and breaking of the shackles of whats inside and fear of that is beyond. A prison of complacency. A prison of social confinement.

Break free, burn with passion. Destroy what holds you from the time of progress and oppresses your heart.

Depression is truly something to be aware of in today's society. It can happen for any reason and no reason at all. For me, I find solace in the night sky away from the status quo of the city and their bright lights where I can meditate and go deep inside the castle of my mind

[Kurt Kimbrell @Gorilla_astro]

Out of a lonely dark sea with changes in time, a great strength wields an apex design. From within it's great burden the power in mind, cunning, sharp, quick, wits, willed,... divine

Some people text their exes at this hour, me I just keep checking the phone on my asiair plus app looking at data and the guiding rates.

Space be crazy!
