@KevinAstrokev I always find myself back in Registax. Lovely capture!

Rework of a Jupiter image from 20 Dec. For this one I used Registax to sharpen the image instead of my usual Astrosurface workflow. I think it's actually pulled a bit more detail out so I must revisit Registax more often

@Michaelflying28 @RAF_Cosford Was fantastic to see that at the show, after so many years! Fab photo!

This was Sunday at @SouthportAir 25. Sometimes wet, somewhat windy but great fun!

F35b flyby at @RAF_Cosford airshow. Awesome to see!

Elephant’s trunk nebula. 20hrs of data

@KevinAstrokev @Dave_StarGeezer I can heartily recommend a flip mirror (I have the Baader version on my C11) for that. Makes getting it on chip much easier

@Dave_StarGeezer Getting it on the chip is often the tricky bit, but I'm slowly getting better!

Jupiter, taken last night. It took me so long to get it on the imaging chip I really couldn't be ar$£d to try for Mars afterwards.

Mars from Jan 29th, Mono IR bandpass. C11 / QHY 5 iii 678m. 18mins derotated

@astromarkc1 Beautifully processed! Bravo

Ever wondered how astrophotography magic happens? Astrophotography isn’t just snapping a picture — it’s an art of blending science and creativity. Images of breathtaking nebulae and galaxies often start as raw, faint data. Processing involves stacking multiple exposures, adjusting contrast, and revealing details our eyes can’t see. The result? Stunning photos that bring the universe to life! #astrophotography #astronomy #space #stars #nightsky #starwalk Video Credits: @ben_b_allen (Instagram)

A brief break in the eternal cloud cover last week! The Pleiades or Seven Sisters (or M45)

Jupiter early on the 12th, though a rare gap in the UK’s constant clouds. 25mins with the QHY678m, filters and C11 @QHYCCD #Astrophotography

Last nights aurora from Lancashire thanks to @aurorawatchuk for the heads up! 28 minutes of activity in 17 seconds #northernlights

Just a reminder this planet season that you should run your unprocessed backyard planet videos through the DeTeCt software -- just in case you caught a rare impact event. Here's my video from last year to show you how : youtube.com/watch?v=MYff-G…
