The 'Dark Shark' Nebula 📷

My latest deep-sky astrophotography image is the dusty 'Dark Shark' Nebula in the constellation Cepheus.

Live TV is very different from YouTube!

Had an epiphany about the Black Dog Observatory tonight (it's been in storage for 2 years! - the dome, deck, pier - everything) I have an idea of how it could work. Need to run it by the Mrs. tomorrow wish me luck

My latest photo is Gum 15 (and friends) in the constellation Vela! 📷

I captured this image using my ultra-portable travel rig from a dark sky site (Bortle 3).
