    First moon picture through DSLR

    First ever picture taken of the moon through my new camera.

    Many said it couldn't be done, which fueled me even more to make this setup work,it was also fairly cloudy.

    Camera: Canon EOS 550D 1/320 800ISO Telescope: SkyWatcher Heritage 150p Flextube (yes, on a hellical focuser)

    Processed in photoshop to add detail and reduce noise.

    NGC891 galaxy

    NGC891 is an edge on unbarred spiral galaxy located some 30 million light-years away. It appears in the Andromeda constellation looking in the sky.

    I took this in my bortle 6 suburban backyard last month around the full moon, so I'm pretty pleased with what I was able to get.

    Approximately 3 hours of sub exposures with no filter. Stacked with Astro Pixel Processor and processed with PixInsight

    Why did this star flare like this?

    I take a fair amount of long exposure pics with my iPhone and early one morning in multiple pictures this star appeared like this. It has never happened in any of the other photos I’ve taken.

    The image was captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, in 2014. Regions on the sun combined to resemble a jack-o-lantern’s face.

    A Serene Sky: The Moon, Saturn, and Jupiter in a Composite Image Through My Telescope.

    This is a full Moon and the two biggest planets in our solar system through my telescope. Going purely for an artistic look here, the images are not to scale, I just put them together for the appearance. Enjoy :)

    Celestron 5SE, ASI294MC/ASI662MC, UV/IR cut filter and 2x/3x barlows for the planets.
