Took this last night and expected a small dot, so while it's bad, it's so much better than I expected :) My first planetary photo. CarbonStar 150 ASI 585MC PRO .2 second exp stacked in AutoStakkert (I really don't know how to use) #Astrophotography #Saturn #OnlyRealSpace

The center of the Soul Nebula. This turned out much better than expected. Askar 103APO - 700mm, 533MCPRO camera, UVIR filter. #Astrophotography I hope to get more subs next new moon.

I can confirm naked eye visible, through the clouds. This is an iPhone pic, and a bad one, but through a few brief holes I could plainly see the comet without any aid. #OnlyRealSpace #CometATLAS

Very first attempt at a comet picture. It's just now in range of my telescopes, and the data was iffy at best. Used Pixinsight to align stars and comet. #Astrophotography #CometC2023A3

I made this GIF of #Comet #Tsuchinshan_ATLAS (C/2023 A3) back on Oct 20th. I have more images but still working on comet imaging skills. :) Not sure it will show up here. i.imgur.com/7zPh8B2.gifv

Comet still going strong, but heading away quickly. 1 hour before it went behind the trees. #OnlyRealSpace #Space #Astrophotography

#astrophotography #LunarEclipse #lunareclipse2025 FRA300, 2600MC Pro, 10 second exposure during totality. I love seeing the stars around the moon.

Testing my Carbonstar 150 Newtonian now that the moon is making a comeback. Painting everything flat black to try and control bad stars. So far so good. North American Nebula, 256 60 second subs, 2600MC Duo, Carbonstar 150. #Astrophotography #spacephotos
