Getting a few clear nights here, and a nice bright moon to go with it! Best part of summer nights is catching these in a t-shirt.

I love getting new shots of the moon. It’s so dynamic, always changing, always a good show.

I’m loving these globular clusters. The entire concept of them is so strange, and they’re kind of mesmerizing.

The Owl Nebula shines as a bright green orb in the center of the image, surrounded by a backdrop of stars. Darkened spots give the appearance of eyes in the middle of the nebula. It’s pretty cool.

26 March 2025, M97, Owl Nebula.

Big fan of owls, big fan of nebulas. I love the little dark areas that make the “eyes”, and the slight shades of rust that come out on the edges on this one.

I like to randomly explore the sky in the Seestar app and look for targets, and sometimes I find a crazy gem like this! I had no idea this even existed.

The moon sets in a blue sky over the Maroon Bells mountain range in Colorado. The moon is illuminated at 66%, and the angle of the terminator line matches the angle of the mountain where it’s setting.

Nothing but clouds here lately, so here’s a throwback to one of my favorite moon photos I was extremely lucky to capture at the Maroon Bells in Colorado.

Bode’s Galaxy, a large spiral galaxy, is centered against a blanket of stars. The core shines brightly while galactic arms spin away from center.

11 March 2025, M81, Bode’s Galaxy.

After The Horsehead Nebula fell low to the west, Bode’s Galaxy was the perfect follow up target that was rising from the east during the same imaging nights.

The Horsehead Nebula angles across from the bottom right of the image towards the center, reaching towards the Flame Nebula at the top left which shines bright orange and red in a distinct flame shape.

09 March 2025, IC 434, The Horsehead Nebula.

My first attempt at a mosaic to also capture the Flame Nebula, I think I need a lot more exposure time to get where I want. Maybe next year!

The Whirlpool Galaxy is centered among a backdrop of stars. True to its name, long galactic arms spiral away from the bright core. A second galaxy passes behind, not as distinct, but similar in shape.

I hit a few targets last week, this one I’ve been eyeing for a while. You can see NGC 5195 in the background, cosmic ships passing in the night.

The Orion Nebula spans across the image in flowing red and gray. The core outshines the rest, illuminating the outer nebula.

27 February 2025, M42, The Orion Nebula.

Four nights of gathering data (some longer than others), but my gosh the results speak for themselves! This is by far my favorite image I’ve captured.

Messing around with new designs lately. Added my new logo for 2025 and some data to help me make a fun library down the line.

A fresh look at the Andromeda Galaxy. I never thought when picking up this hobby that I’d be able to see things this cool!

Combining fresh data with old gave me my clearest shot ever of M33! This galaxy has taken me a long time to capture clearly.

The supernova that created the Crab Nebula was actually seen and chronicled by humans in 1054 AD. Wild!

I was a bit busy and didn’t catch the full occultation, but I did manage a pretty shot of the Moon and Mars together.

Hello, Bluesky!

Welcome to my amateur astrophotography page, where you can find low quality pics of space (AKA space garbage) and where I hope to refine my craft over a very, very long time. Like, light years long. Human light years.
