So I'm wondering: what're your thoughts about the term "Supermoon"? How the media likes to throw it around as if it's something special etc? Thoughts, feelings, etc all welcome in the comments - doing some research! Cheers all #astronomy #supermoon

@daraobriain Man I love the unhinged Duolingo sentences it tries to get you to learn and how it gives you your reminders 😂

This is an excellent video of Duolingo insanity.

The Tadpoles Nebula! Recently I imaged this with a new Sightron Quad NB filter, the ZWO585mc and my Evostar 80ED. Needless to say: I love this! #astrophotography

Recently I was able to spend a couple of nights imaging a smaller nebula within the Auriga constellation You can join my adventure on YouTube now youtu.be/CAccIb8C4_M #astrophotography

Want To Learn How To Reduce Star Sizes With Photoshop? Watch This youtu.be/Nf0noL7Ki2g?si… That's right, I just filled a hole in my Photoshop tutorials I noticed, and reducing star sizes is an excellent way to add a huge pop to your image! It's live, now #Astrophotography

@AstroCanuck @FLO_UK @zwoastro Happy new year to you too mate. Been a while! Hope all is well with you

@AstroRuz @FLO_UK @zwoastro Happy new year, mate!

Happy 2025 all, hope your new orbit goes well! What seems to be a trend of mine is the Flaming Star Nebula. It's an important nebula to me and I liked how this one turned out! 3hrs x 10min subs, ASI2600, ED80, Antlia filter #Astrophotography

@Roman07762405 @FLO_UK @zwoastro Fantastic image there Roman. That little Astromik clip in filter has such a good reputation and does good work. Loving the way you orientated this one! Have a great 2025.

@AstroRuz @FLO_UK @zwoastro Happy new year Ruz,hope this year will be much better than last one.Here is my last before Christmas. Astromik 12 nm clip in filter/Canon 1100 Da, SvBony 80 mm f/7

ICYMI, the ZWO CAA has been announced and is even available for pre-order. I'll try to get my hands on one for review. But in this article I go over the broad-strokes of what the CAA is all about and how it can benefit you astrofarsography.com/zwo-caa-announ…

@SpaceX out here just casually catching Boosters in chop sticks. What an amazing sight to behold

@Bortle_10 Love the colours here. I wonder what you did to get the blues in thr arms of the galaxy?

@AstroRuz Here is your M106 photo processed by me. I did not include the HA as i do not know how to deal with that (yet); I only do broadband astrophotography. Process: convert the images to grey, dbe, blurX, noiseX, NBmapper to map a colour, combine and stretch.

@dazza1639 Blue is popping out and you got the IFN showing. Looks good mate thanks for sharing and tagging

@AstroRuz here’s my go at trying to process your #M106 data. I’m just learning #PixInsight and this is only the second broadband image I’ve attempted, most of my images are narrowband because of my bortle 8 skies. #Astrophotography

@JonnyBravo0311 Looks really good mate. I saw that you put your work flow on the video comments so I'll have a good read through those. Mostly how you got those nice colours in the galaxy. Nice work

Did an edit on @AstroRuz M106 data from his YT video Have Some FREE Data - I Need Your Help With Galaxy M106 (youtube.com)

@VirtualAstro Yeah I'd watch. I'm coming to your show on the 23rd Nov anyway so having on demand on YouTube would be good

I'm thinking about doing a YouTube Channel with regular videos and all that. Would you guys subscribe to it? It will be good I promise. With all the usual spacey goodness you have come to expect from this ever so esteemed social media channel. 😜

@Coffeedaveoz I do have the Canon 50mm f/1.8, and also the 75-300mm which is a bit naff. I'd like to get a longer decent lens like a 135mm f/2 or the Canon 200/300mm f/4 L lens but I can't afford them at the moment. This will just be for wider nightscape at the moment

@AstroRuz Saw some of your work, learning AP mysel on mostly old gear, M42 primes and all manner of old glass adapted to a Sony a6000. Surprised at your choice of a zoom there. 2 faves are a 50mm Takumar m42 F/1.4 and Ais nikoor 300 prime.

Widefiled grab and go/nightscape rig all ready for action Once the two weeks of rain and thunder pass ⛈️ #astrophotography

@Coffeedaveoz Cheers mate. That's a Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM. One thing I like is how it's designed for an APS-C camera so helps keep it sharper

@AstroRuz Good rig dude. What is the lens there?

@Diego_DA_AE There was an astrophotography event recently and people bought gear. I blame that event 😂

@bbroastro Ain't much better in the east midlands mate. 7 days of solid thunderstorms and rain forecasted for my area. Not seen weather like this for a while

@AstroRuz Bruh, the storms have been relentless West Midlands!

@Coffeedaveoz All I can think I'm missing are the cables. Dew heater and an intervalometer... am I being blind to something? 😂

@AstroRuz Are you sure you are not missing something there?
