Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) Captured from Northern Nevada 10/13/2024 #comet #CometA3

@BeatriceHeinze I think "wider" yeah. I'd been running around with 1000mm+ focal lengths. I've settled in with the ~450mm focal lengths now and really enjoying it. ☺️

@MazzifLOL Thank you very much :-). Do you like wide field astrophotography the most?

LDN 1617, LDN 1622 (Boogeyman Nebula), M78 (reflection nebula), and Sh 2-276 (Barnard’s Loop), (wide-field image in LRGB) The dark nebulae LDN 1617 and LDN 1622, are dense clouds of dust that block the background light. LDN 1622, the Boogeyman Nebula, looks particularly breathtaking. Both nebulae and the nearby M78 are located in the constellation Orion. In the lower left corner, you can see M78 (Messier 78, also known as NGC 2068), which is sometimes nicknamed “Casper the Friendly Ghost Nebula” (see also my post about M78 from March 13, 2026, an enlarged version of M78 -> x.com/BeatriceHeinze…). In the more central part of the astrophotograph, you can see a part of Sh 2-276 Barnard’s Loop, a bright, large-shaped nebula in a beautiful magenta/red color, consisting of a cloud of ionized hydrogen gas (an HII region). This image was taken using 4 filters, LRGB (Luminance, Red, Green & Blue), but if you take additional exposures using an H-alpha filter, you can make this HII region of Barnard's Loop stand out even more. Data: Telescope Live Processing: Beatrice Heinze Telescope & Location: Takahashi FSQ-106ED (106 mm) F3.6 telescope, located at Heaven’s Mirror Observatory, Australia (Southern Hemisphere) Total exposure time: 4 hours See also the annotated version in the comments below 👇 to learn about the location of these nebulae.

@Starlink 😑Think Ive probably captured each and every one in my deep sky astrophotography...

With more than 8,500 satellites in orbit, Starlink provides connectivity through harsh weather conditions and natural disasters. Order online in under 2 minutes.

@AstroTanja Can always be worse....

Also happening right now. I hate streetlights. I miss dark skies

Happening right now … hoping the cloud forecast is inaccurate today - happy if I get a handful of these 10min exposures.

@AstroTanja 😱

Okay then. Here’s an unedited RGB combination. No L yet, No Ha. No nothing…. I can’t do a gradient correction here 🙈 oh my word so many stars

@zwoastro 30m (3x600s) Ha under that full moon. NGC7000. Not quite ready for a full imaging session yet... But soon!

What can just 1 hour reveal from the dark? Check out this capture of the Trifid Nebula (M20) by Tarun Bharadwaj Pulikanti. 🌌 Askar 103 APO ASI2600MC Pro AM3 #ZWO #Astrophotography #TrifidNebula #DeepSky #ASI2600MCPro #M20 #AM3

@zwoastro Hope to see you this Summer in California at Golden State Star Party (GSSP) 2026 🌟⭐🌟

Don’t miss your chance to meet ZWO and our partners face-to-face! 🌠 Our March offline events are coming soon! Where do you hope to see us next? #ZWO #Astronomy #Events #Stargazing #StarParty #Seestar

@AstroTanja B is the winner for me. Nice capture!

I went and dialed back some of the Ha. What are your thoughts? A=LRGB B= plus the Ha C= a balance between to show some of the structure I could fiddle with with settings all day...

@DerrickEvans4WV Just a few hours but my February goal is to loose 20lb in the 28 days of February. I have 2.2lb to go! 🥵🥵🥵

I just completed a 24 hour water only fast. Longest I’ve ever went is 40 hours. Want to go at least 48 hours this time. What’s the longest you’ve ever fasted?

@AJamesMcCarthy Would love to know capture details. 🤩 🤩 🤩

After months of exposure I'm proud to unveil "Secrets of the Hunter": a 320-megapixel photo of the most iconic constellation in the sky, Orion. This deep exposure shows how much is hidden between the stars we can see with our naked eye. More details and fine art print below 👇

@XMonetization_ Hello 👋

@MrPeachUK Thanks!

@MazzifLOL Great picture!

Orion never ceases to captivate #astrophotography #telescope #astronomy

@AbhLafiel @astrocatinfo @astrotivissa Screens or just clear blue plastic over the graphic? 🤔

@astrocatinfo @astrotivissa Is there two versions? I see one with screens on it and others without.

My one is about to arrive for a full review with @astrotivissa

LBN 749 in RGBHa Cool little region that I found that sits between the Pleiades and the California Nebula. Been shooting this region off and on since early December 2025. Id like to keep moving forward with it, but its moving into an obstructed region and its becoming more difficult to get long sessions. The weather doesn't help.
