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. Seestar S50, processed in Siril and GIMP. Tools include RC-astro, SETI astro and Graxpert. #astrophotography #cloughjordan #darksky #deepsky #seestar_s50

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. ▼ IRIX 15mm | Canon EOS R https://astrocamp.eu/en/stonehenge-and-milky-way-jul26/ #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #deepsky

Today I released an update of my CATALOG tool. In addition to Messier, Caldwell, Barnard and several more I added the Abell Planetary Nebulae catalog. Explore visibility info for your location and object data. https://astrocamp.eu/en/deep-sky-catalog/ #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #deepsky

The Dumbbell Nebula ================ A dying Sun-like star, roughly 1,200–1,360 light-years away, has shed its outer layers into space. What remains is this delicate glowing shell of gas, shaped by the final stages of stellar evolution. I chose to keep the wider field around the nebula instead of cropping in too tightly. Against the dense star field of the Milky Way, M27 appears almost fragile — even though the nebula spans several light-years across.

My new dream team is finally complete. The Harmonic Drive Mount Warpastron WD-20P paired with the Berlebach Astro Tripod UNI 18. Let the games begin — now all we need are clear skies. #astrophotography #stargazing #deepsky #astronomy #nightsky

Some passing clouds, but we’re on for tonight’s WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party (2/11)! 🌌 We open after 8pm. No Moon = prime deep-sky hunting. Great views of Jupiter and Uranus in the scopes. https://was-ct.org/programs/public-viewing/ #WestportAstronomicalSociety #WestportCT #WestportObservatory #StarParty #Jupiter #Uranus #DeepSky

3 years ago, in January 2023, I captured this beauty, the comet C/2022 E3. C/2022 E3 (ZTF) follows a highly elliptical orbit with a period of approximately 50,000 years. It reached its perihelion on January 12, 2023, at a distance of 1.1 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. ▼ Vixen VC200L https://astrocamp.eu/en/c-2022-e3-ztf/ #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #deepsky #astroimaging #nightsky #clearsky #telescope #photography #space
