NGC 6992 - Eastern Veil nebula
Another part of the massive Cygnus loop, a 20,000 year old remnant of a supernova that lies about 1500 light years away in the constellation Cygnus. This halo of gas and dust emits light because it is electrically charged (ionised) by the resulting radiation from the supernova.

Stonehenge under the Milky Way — the highlight of my holiday in southern England, captured on the very first night. Almost perfect conditions, right beside the ancient stones.

What's really intriguing as someone doing #astrophotography is how many people doing this are right-wing assholes who actively work on destroying their own hobby

C 33 the Veil Nebula last night taken with my new Dwarf 3 smart telescope. Had a Dwarf 2 but don’t think it was well-collimated. This one has sharper stars which is showing some lovely detail. This was about 220 frames at 15s each using the dual-band filter under super light polluted Bortle 8/9 skies. A little processing in Apple Photos. Not bad at all!

Seeing a lot of “red sun” photos that people have taken in the wildfire haze. Here’s a more benign one: it’s an “oops” photo that I snapped while attaching my phone to my telescope to capture some sunspot images a while back. I really like it though!

(But for some reason it won’t open the pod bay doors.)

Our star as seen earlier today from West Seattle.

After my first try in #astrophotography, I had to continue with some lessons learned. So yesterday I sat again outside in the dark. But this time only in the garden, hoping for enough distance from man made light sources.

I have to say I’m very impressed, what I shot whit the shitty kit lens at 18mm in the garden, with a basic DSLR. 😱

And probably my fav of the night getting our galactic core in with some aurora.

Was able to catch some aurora from near Mt. Rainier tonight. What a treat! Could see structures with my eyes but everything came out with long exposure phone shots.

El otro día disfruté de la maravillosa experiencia de ver la Luna a través de un telescopio de un observatorio, y se podía hacer una foto a través del telescopio y BUAH. Es impresionante 🤩

Behind every deep sky image is a story. Discover the gear and passion that drive Astrocamp - from capturing distant galaxies to glowing nebulae and sparkling star clusters. Meet the astronomer chasing the night sky one frame at a time.

I just had a foto session with my daughter and already used some results on my about page.

Since it appears that @Jessnatarte has been found out for generating all their "photos" and has now deleted their account or blocked me - I have one more question.

Hey @Ducgris do you have an explanation as to why a lot of your photographs would have an embedded AI watermark?
Given the fact you have put your name to them, have even said where some of them were taken - like the obviously AI generated ladybug one that you claim was taken in Serra Calderona in May of 2021.
Clarification would be great, thank you.
