Cepheus has so many great targets to photograph. Following the dark shark capture a couple of weeks ago, here is an image (six hours of total exposure) of the dark seahorse (LDN1082). I am really liking these dark nebulae and hope to image more of them. 🧪 🔭

On 11 Nov. 2020, APOD published this spectacular image. It is a spiral mosaic of 48 full moons, collected over 10 years from northern to southern Italy. No trick: it is the Moon, filtered by Earth’s atmosphere. Credit: Marcella Giulia Pace apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap20111... 🔭⚛️🧪 #astrophotography
Forty-eight full-Moon photos. Black background. They form a spiral, and the rings get tighter toward the middle. Some appear gray, some brownish gray. Others appear yellow, orange or deep red. A few pale blues. One vivid purple Moon sits near the center.
Several disks low in the arrangement look slightly flattened rather than round. The sequence ends with a faint red Moon from the total lunar eclipse of 27 July 2018. 
Small credit text at the bottom reads Marcella Giulia Pace.

The only shot I got of a meteor last night - a sporadic in Aquarius. #Astronomy #Astrophotography
A sporadic meteor in Aquarius captured on 7 October 2026 at 21:21 UT. Taken with a Canon 250D with 7.5mm fisheye lens at 20s exp, 7.5mm fl (cropped), f/3.5, ISO-1600. The meteor is to the bottom left of frame, below the Square of Pegasus. Saturn is to the centre left of the frame. The Milky Way and the stars of Aquila are to the right.

Astronomy fact: The escape velocity from Jupiter is 59.5km per second (214,200kph or 133,875mph). Need a serious rocket to achieve that. Image Hubble Space Telescope. 🔭 🧪

Heart Nebula (IC 1805) in Cassiopeia is an emmision nebula ~7,500 ly away in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way The red color and heart shape are driven by radiation emanating from a group of hot stars near the nebula's center #Nature 🔭 #Photography #Science #WitchSky #Photo #NightSky #Astronomy
Heart Nebula IC-1805 Central Illinois 180 minutes total exposure. Image flipped for dramatic effect. It does look like a heart

Nice #meteor today at 4:44am MDT from Crestone, Colorado USA #astrophotography #astronomy
A photograph of the night sky over the Rocky Mountains. There is a long meteor in the upper right corner, angled down towards the center of the frame. Orion's sword is just above the meteor. There are some houselights in the foothills of the mountains.
Crop showing meteor detail. There is a distinct flare about 20% from the tip. The tail is slightly green. Orion's sword and nebular are visible above.

#PPOD: These strange, intricately eroded deposits in Mars’s Arabia Terra region preserve a record of the planet’s ancient climate. Captured by the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the light-toned layers have similar thicknesses and brightness... 🧪 🔭
Aerial view of Mars showing sinuous tan bedrock ridges and steep scarps with dark blue-gray sand dunes filling narrow valleys, forming a maze-like pattern of wind-eroded cliffs and dune fields.

2.7x farther out than Pluto. TNO 136199 Eris, 94.5 AU away, is more massive but less voluminous than Pluto. It is the largest-known object in the Solar System that has not been visited by a spacecraft. #astrophotography #seestar #eris

☀️ A closer look at our smiling Sun! This video was captured from Billingborough Observatory with the Seestar S50 and Baader AstroSolar safety filter. Those dark patches are sunspots — regions of intense magnetic activity. 🔭🧪 #Sunspots #SolarAstronomy #Astronomy

Hadn't seen ISS in an eon, so decided to catch it this evening. After setting up in a clear-ish spot among the trees at our place, I went for a clearer view of the horizon to see when it was climbing, then decided that would be a better viewpoint, so hastily moved the tripod. Meh. Not enuf time. 🔭
A suburban night sky with a bright 20-second streak of ISS passing almost overhead. The Teapot in Sagittarius, and part of the tail of Scorpius, are marked, along with five Messier objects.  The brightest part of the Milky way is just visible below the Teapot.
