Mars this morning, captured under average seeing. Sinus Meridiani is central with Syrtis Major on the day/night terminator. The north polar cap is also nicely seen.
24" Dob, Uranus-M/C cameras at 9000mm f/15. (R)OSC, ~45 mins of data.

Here it is! Freshly finished, The Ghost Nebula IC63 in Cassiopeia, along with IC 59 below it. Together between Friday and Saturday night, I put 7hrs on it from a bortle 4 location 🌌
I meant to have it sooner, but I was trying something new, and it ended up being a waste of time 😂

Saturn this morning through the 24in scope. Some ring spokes and the encke division are clearly seen in this view, with Rhea just 'above' the north pole.

The crescent Moon rising above the mountain ridge in the Chilean Andes. I captured this image from Carnegie Las Campanas Observatory as the rising Moon was glowing in the twilight. Such a beautiful view! It reminds me why we keep doing astronomy :)

It's finally here! 6hrs on the beautiful Leo Triplet in LRGB.
I didn't get as much time that I wanted on this, but I am quite pleased with what I did end up getting. I hope you enjoy it! 😁

Messier 51 captured with the Pegasus SmartEye and my 14" Skywatcher dobsonian
The easy of use, capturing and live stacking is so good. I then pulled the individual files (it automatically saves them) and stacked them to produce this.

Hadley Rille & the Apollo 15 landing site imaged from home last weekend. The south cluster and north complex are both visible, alongside various other craters.

The comet is now entering the inner region of the sun where its ion tail is highly active. Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon 2025-10-22 17.45 UT Michael Jäger Gerald Rhemann

Another photo of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from the morning of October 5th. I had 4 setups going. This one is the Askar SQA55 telescope with the ASI2600MC Air camera. 21 * 180” stacked. Note the little pinwheel galaxy (NGC 3184) in the bottom left corner. #astrophotography #comet
ALT Comet with a green coma and a long tail in a sea of stars. There is also a little spiral galaxy in the lower left.

A quick snap of Uranus with the 24in scope low in the sky before twilight.
To my surprise, the elusive rings were readily visible in just 15 minutes of exposure, and far surpasses anything I've achieved with my other 16in scope - the power of aperture showing its face once again

3 galaxies at once! I photographed the Milky Way and both Magellanic Clouds in this star field from the SpaceX Crew 9 Dragon, on my new mission to the ISS.

The Ring Nebula, now with Argon! Very excited about this one which incorporates data taken with a new [Ar III] filter available for the @QHYCCD miniCAM8M system. More details are available on my astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/jk9lev #astrophotography #nebula

Venus this morning in UV false colour. Reasonably good conditions low in the sky.

#Saturn yesterday in near IR - my first capture of the season. The rings are barely visible, poorly lit due to the low sun angle.
Reasonable conditions low in the sky before sunrise.

I don’t often shoot the sky with the sun up, but sometimes I make an exception when it looks extra pretty
