This is my yearly image of the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237) in Monoceros. It is an emission Nebula 5400 LY away. Shot with my SvBony SV503 80ED Telescope and ZWO ASI533mc Pro Camera. 4 hours of data processed using Pixinsight software. I love shooting this. https://t.co/D8H5vK1Z0F

Another test of 3000 mm Moon. This one in 15 mph wind. The scope was wiggling and so was the Seeing and Transparency.

Still was useful night of testing gear. Will be better on a still night. https://t.co/sZnVy2x4Bf

A quickie shot I did of the Leo Triplet. Group of three interacting spiral galaxies located approximately 35-36 million light-years away in the constellation Leo.

Heavy frost on my telescope and end of dew shield at dawn when I packed it up in the morning the other day from shooting The Hidden Galaxy.

If you look at the base of the dew shield (the tube that's crooked stuck on the end of my telescope) the part where it's NOT frosty, where https://t.co/Woz5sYmEV2

My first animations of my shots of the Sun. It's 2 frames, a minute apart of a Solar prominence, showing motion on the proms and a little on the surface. https://t.co/1hU5ahxiG4

"The Hidden Galaxy" (IC 342) - some stars, and all stars.

13 hours exposure.
Distance to Earth: 10.76 million light years
"It would be one of the brightest galaxies we see in the sky if it weren't obscured by gas and dust.
It is the third-largest spiral galaxy known by https://t.co/i2hln5mjv9

This is the "Flaming Star" Nebula (IC405) in Auriga. This Emission and Reflection Nebula is lit by the star AE Aurigae. This is a runaway star that was knocked out of the Orion Nebula millions of years ago. SvBony SV503 80ED and ZWO 533mc Pro. https://t.co/zCmCxFA9ms

Community Rules

Don't be a jerk, or you're gone.

...and, just space pix, no politics. If you don't answer qusestion to join and/or have protected posts, you will not be approved.

All photos must have a photo credit

Whether you took it or not, tell who did.

StarX, NoiseX, BlurX are OK

Called "AI", but barely. Basically noise reduction for real pix. The AI that's banned here is images generated in AI.

Keep replies on topic (up to a point)

Feel free to meander, we like organic conversations, but if you are always off topic, why do that here?

Label remote scope images, composites, etc

Nothing wrong with those, but let us know in your post.

Disclose anything "cheating" you use

Including, but not limited to: attaching something to add diffraction spikes into a refractor scope (or adding spikes in post). & Label RoboScope pix.

Whatever else

3 posts a day max, don't post duplicate posts, etc.
