I share images of outer space; live and in colour on Twitch. When the clouds roll in I'm chatting about astronomy, astrophotography, how to process astro images and Sunday mornings we build LEGO. I'm not here to change the world. I'm here to share the universe.

Very, very well done! I've found a renewed sense of satisfaction with these art sets.

Keep em coming. More astrophotography here, the better.

Good polar alignment means the mount has less work to do - try to get as close as possible. Good balance will also help guiding.

The astrophotography community is always willing to help out and answer questions - me included. I'm usually on Twitch, chatting about it.

Andromeda was my Waterloo for ages and it still wows me with every single image. Congratulations! I look forward to seeing more.

♥️ Yes; tripod, pro mode, save RAW images, 30" exp, 100ISO (I usually shoot 400-800ISO), Manual focus.

I know, such a double edged sword. I can only hope as each successive round of satellites go up, their albedo will be reduced.

I put a deposit on one in July. Hopefully they'll roll them out sooner than later.

It's annoying how inefficient our meat cameras are.

@KanjiNinja /a/FNWR1xf that core section is completely saturated; most images of Orion are composites to get the details.

Thank you for the follow. I have quite a bit to upload here, and I try not to neglect imgur - I'm just not a Meme Lord.

TL;DR I have a camera attached to my telescope and I control it all with my computer. I can get into greater details on stream.

Thank you, much appreciated. I don't always talk rockets but I do show people stars and galaxies on Twitch.

Fantastic work. Do you have an IG or Twitter account you regularly post to?

The graphic designer in me loves this perfect gradient. The filthy, no-good thief in me has stolen this pallet for some digital fall art.

I'd like £900 for a new telescope. Guess who's going to get their way, first?

Trevor has done a tremendous job with AstroBackyard; his love for astrophotography has been inspirational. A great resource indeed.

Hey man, that's cool. I'm not here to change the world. I'm here to share the universe.

Some nights, while stargazing or researching this info, I have small existential crises. It fades quickly and I go back to enjoying it all.

That's one to be proud of. Great work along the terminator.

narrowband OSC filter. Used 30 dark frames for calibration. Shot at 420mm with a Skywatcher 72ED refractor. Love that scope. 3/3

right now the sun doesn't get low enough for astronomical darkness, so I only have about 3 hours a night to image. Stock camera with a 2/n

4min subs - there was about 25.5 hours worth, but poor exposures were discarded. About 6-8 different nights. I'm high enough North that 1/n

Thank you. I'm a Bortle 5 (possibly 6 thanks to new LED street lamps.) No mod. Just a narrowband one-shot-colour filter from Altair Astro.

I could. I'm clouded out for the next week at least, but I'd be happy to share more about my experience.
