Newfoundland! 🇨🇦

What's your go-to method of reducing noise in your astrophotos? 🤔 Here are some of the many ways I clean up my astrophotography images, from improving the SNR to incredible AI-powered software tools. astrobackyard.com/astrophotograp…

I woke up at 4 am to capture this pairing of Venus and the Beehive Star Cluster! (with Jupiter nearby!) This was taken at Terra Nova National Park, a RASC-designated dark sky preserve in Newfoundland.

Our 'Voyager 1' has traveled over 3000km on this trip 🚀

The Andromeda Galaxy 📸 This is how the Andromeda Galaxy looked 2.5 million years ago... I wonder what it looks like now? I took this image from our campsite in the Summer of 2022. My telescope tracked the galaxy for 2 nights straight, and I combined all of the images together

What Computer are you using to Process Images? 🤔 My primary editing PC is getting a little long in the tooth, but it still gets the job done! (16 GB Ram) Here are the most important specs to consider when choosing an astrophotography laptop/desktop for editing your photos!

The Pacman Nebula 📸 Why do I keep coming back to this nebula? There is something special about the NGC 281 that I just can't put my finger on. My latest version of the Pacman Nebula includes exactly 9 hours of total exposure time using one of my favorite new telescopes, the

Andromeda Galaxy with a Camera Lens 📷 I took this picture from our campsite last year using my DSLR camera with a telephoto lens attached. I used a star tracker to compensate for the apparent motion of the night sky, to 'freeze' this galaxy in place for hours. After 6 years

I've been doing this a long time... Capturing a plane going right through the central star of the Helix Nebula is bad ass!

Another photo of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from the morning of October 5th. I had 4 setups going. This one is the Askar SQA55 telescope with the ASI2600MC Air camera. 21 * 180” stacked. Note the little pinwheel galaxy (NGC 3184) in the bottom left corner. #astrophotography #comet

The 'California Nebula' - 9 hour exposure through my telescope

The Pleiades ✨ My latest picture of the 'seven sisters' includes almost 5 hours of exposure time through my telescope. This stunning deep-sky object is rising higher into the eastern sky each night and is immediately recognizable... If you can escape the perpetual glare of

There's no going back now! 😆 youtu.be/3UUFF1qOcHA

The comet is now entering the inner region of the sun where its ion tail is highly active. Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon 2025-10-22 17.45 UT Michael Jäger Gerald Rhemann

Who knew that the easiest upgrade to my telescope would make the biggest difference? I see the light now! 😀 Installation notes, key automation improvements, and what a v-curve is actually showing: astrobackyard.com/telescope-auto…
