My next big cosmic photo project which I'll release in print will feature the sun... I think you'll like it. Here's a detailed photo I captured of the solar chromosphere last year. It looks like the sun is trying to spell something.

#MilkyWay vom #Cygnus aus gesehen von vergangener Nacht! Die Sicht war besser, aber es geht noch besser! Es regnet sanft und ist warm, so schön, kein Unwetter! 19 Bilder gestapelt je 6sec, ISO800, Nikkor24f/1.4; NikonD750.🌌

I processed all the data I'd ever collected, since Jan 2022, on the Whirlpool Galaxy - some 101 hours, with three scopes and five cameras, plus a further 24 hrs from @mathcancer (Thanks, Paul) for this image. Full details and hi res image in the astrobin link below

NGC 7000 - HOO - 6 hours #Astrophotography

LDN43, AKA The Cosmic Bat Nebula, is located ~1,400 light years from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus. This dark nebula contains dense clouds of cosmic dust that when illuminated by background stars, produce a silhouette resembling a bat with its wings outstretched. #astro

I’ve been a bit quiet lately…but for a good reason! I’ve been working on my biggest project yet: a 65-hour 4-panel SHO mosaic of the NGC 6188 aka Fighting Dragons of Ara 🐉 #astrophotography #nebula #tasmania #spacephoto

How graceful 😅😍

I had completely forgotten that I had photographed the Horsehead Nebula IC 434 in the constellation Orion in February 2025. Now I have edited all the photos. The pictures were taken with an astronomical colour camera using a duo narrow band filter. #Astrophotography

Say hello to little Chamboi 😀

A closer look at a recent 26h LRGB image of Messier 13, so many stars! 🔭

🔭M51-Whirlpool Galaxy🔭Is located ~31M l-y from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. Overall is 88% the size of the Milky Way and ~400M y old. The companion galaxy NGC 5195, has been interacting for hundred million years. astrobin.com/full/gza49l/B/ #Astrophotography #Galaxy

📡 First processed light from Aquila Observatory: NGC 281 - aka the Pacman Nebula. An H II region in Cassiopeia, ~9,200 ly distant, packed with Bok globules, OB stars & maser-traced star formation. Sh2-184 is chomping through the Perseus Arm. 🛰️👾

Elephants are wonderfully demonstrative with their emotions. In the wild, they show affection through trunk hugs and body contact. For our orphans, an ‘elephant hug’ means the same thing — I love you! Wherever you are in the world, you can connect with an orphaned elephant like

Some people worship athletes or actors. As for me, I admire great scientists. The guys who developed quantum mechanics, differential geometry, etc. Sure, Brad Pitt is a good-looking guy, but Grigori Perelman proved Poincaré's conjecture.
