- #IC405 The Flaming Star Nebula Spectacular nebula illuminated by central star AE Auriga. Collected 6h of data over 2 nights using a dual narrowband filter on my small refractor. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, SV220 filter ⌛ 6h@120s 💻 Siril, GraXpert, Veralux, SCUNet Denoise #astrophotography
- M45 The Pleiades, aka "The Seven Sisters" or what I like: "Subaru", taken 01/07/2026 The open star cluster is only 444 light years from earth which makes it the nearest Messier object to earth. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, uv/ir cut filter ⌛ 3h@120s 💻 Siril, GraXpert, Veralux, darktable
- Reedit of my Rosettte Nebula taken last February: Using Veralux HyperMetric Stretch in Siril 1.4 really helps me bringing out more contrast. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, SV220 filter ⌛ 2h@120s 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography #photography
- The Heart cannot be without the Soul! So here is the Soul Nebula I shot on 12/27/2025 in narrowband and stretched with Veralux HyperMetric Stretch with a reedit of my Heart Nebula from a year ago. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro ⌛ 2h 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography #photography
- NGC1499 California Nebula is an emmission nebula in Perseus, excited by nearby star Menkhib (upper right). Shot in narrowband on 12/26/2025 and stretched with Veralux HyperMetric Stretch. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro ⌛ 2.5h 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography #photography
- M33 - Triangulum Galaxy, 12/18/2025 Finally, a break in the clouds to catch me a new project. And what a beauty she is: the Triangulum Galaxy @ 3 mio ly distance she is our neighbour in the local group. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro ⌛ 2.5h 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography
- M51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy First attempt on this "little" gem with 1h in RGB and 1h in dual narrowband to add some H-alpha and OIII. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, SV220 filter ⌛ RGB 1h, Ha/OIII 1h 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography
- Kicking off galaxy season with M81 Bode's Galaxy (right) and M82 Cigar Galaxy (left). Light that travelled 12 million light years to be caught on a 1 inch sensor. What are the odds? 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, SV220 filter ⌛ Ha 3h, RGB 1h 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography
- The Seagull Nebula - IC2711 Beautifull region of nebulosity in Monoceros, 3650 ly away. Four hours of data collected a week ago with my 72mm refractor and a dual narrowband filter. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, SV220 filter ⌛ 110 lights@120s 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography
- I know I'm late to the party but here is my Christmas Tree Cluster. A little more than 3 hours of light collected over the last few nights with dual narrowband filter. 🔭 TS APO 432mm F/6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, SV220 filter ⌛ 94 lights@120s 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography
- The Rosette Nebula from last night. Got creative while processing OSC dual narrowband Ha & OIII and tried out some variations for composition with Pixel Math in Siril. This one is made with: R: 1.7*H-O G: ((H)^~(H))*H+~((H)^~(H))*O B: O Function in G aka Power of Inverted Pixels. #astrophotography
- NGC 2174 - The Monkey Head nebula from my garden in Munich, Germany. Do you see the monkey? 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, SV220 filter ⌛ 3 hours@120s 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography
- Beautiful daylight moon in bluesky Feb 8th, 2 tile mosaic. 🔭 SW SkyMax 102T 📷 Player One Ares-C pro ⌛ 200 of 2000 images per tile 💻 PlanetarySystemStacker, gimp, darktable #astrophotography
- I keep coming back to the moon to discover ever more detail. Taken on 02/05/25 with a 4" Maksutov as a 2 tile mosaic, 2x upscaled with PSS. Original is 38MP, my best shot yet 🌔. 🔭 SW SkyMax 102T 📷 Player One Ares-C pro ⌛ 300 of 2000 images 💻 PlanetarySystemStacker, gimp, darktable #astrophotography
- The sun today with many active regions. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro ⌛ 200 out of 2000 images, @2,5 ms 💻 PlanetarySystemStacker, darktable #astrophotography
- My 2nd narrowband project: the Tadpole Nebula #ic410. Thin high clouds took away a lot of the signal. But processed the data anyway, twice, for the fun of it. 🔭 TSAPO72F6 📷 Player One Ares-C pro, SV220 dual narrowband filter ⌛ 3 hours, @120s 💻 Siril, GraXpert, darktable #astrophotography

- This is my take on the heart nebula #ic1805 with the fishhead #ic1795 in top right. First light with player one ares-c pro (imx533) and dual narrowband filter sv220. Clear skies! #astrophotography
