My first dip into astrophotography. Captured 4 Feb 2025 using my Meade ETX90 and iPhone 14 Pro Max with AstroShader and a 3D printed phone mount. 24mm main camera, 100 frames at 1/1000 and 445 ISO. Used the auto edit feature in the Apple Photos app.

This is a image of our moon I took on Feb 4 2025 with a canon 77d (no lenses used) and a Celestron 114az 114mm spherical reflector (horrible for imaging, if you look towards the top of the moon you can obviously see the spherical mirror blurring the image). It’s composed of 50 (best 70 percent used) exposures at 1/60s and 200ISO. Stacked in autostakkert, and sharped in registax 6.

This is buy far one of my best pictures of Orion

Before I knew which way was up, and while still playing with exposure and focus throughout the night, I captured a wonder. There's just a tiny bit of surface detail on Ganymede, caught her shadow, too. An eclipse photo! :D

This was my first successful image a while back and decided to revisit it on a cloudy day. Very happy with the results

Wanted to get back into astrophotography after a small break and loosing all my data (again), sadly cloudy decided now was a good time to come back. Only got 2 hours of data in this image in a bortle 8-9 zone so I plan to redo this but a lot better.

Rosette Nebula

Spent last night under the stars, capturing the stunning Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237) with my astro-modded Canon T3i. This deep-space beauty, located in the constellation Monoceros, is a vast cloud of hydrogen gas and young stars about 5,000 light-years away! Using long exposures and a bit of patience, I was able to bring out its vibrant red hues caused by hydrogen-alpha emissions.

The Flaming Star Nebula (C31) shot at 135mm on astro-modded DSLR from my backyard. My first attempt at narrowband imaging using the Optolong L-Enhance EOS clip filter. Processing took a lot longer than for OSC... I have a lot to learn still. Advice welcome!!

Since I've started wandering through the Camelopardalis constellation, and imaged C5, thought why not, let's give C7 a chance too!

Disclaimer The sky had AWFUL seeing, and the Moon only made things worse Anyway 🤣

Sequator/Photoshop/Pixinsight

Gradients were even worse and a pain to remove. Eventually got rid of them. The level of details wasn't great mostly due to the bad seeing, so the image may look a bit 'smooth'.

It is a quite aggresive crop, like ~3x crop from the original size.

My first time doing anything of this nature outside of my old Google pixel's "astrophotography mode". I got the S25 ultra from Samsung last week and my friend taught me how to use the camera and I managed to get this! I edited it a bit in lightroom to the best of my abilities and unfortunately the distant city was very obvious
