I'm an amateur astrophotographer and nature enthusiast. Astrophotography is shot with my Odyssey or S30 and processed in PixInsight.
- M45 Pleiades Cluster Finished my M45 project with over 30 hours of capture time. I'm definitely lucky to have so many clear nights after getting the s30. Moving the Heart Nebula into that timeslot now. 🔭 #astrophotography #M45
- Running Man Nebula w/ Orion Decided to reshoot all of my Orion mosaic with actual panels instead of the S30's built-in feature. Halfway there and thank the heavens for clear skies all weekend 🙏 🔭 #astrophotography #newmoonweekend
- Rosette Nebula and open cluster ngc2244 I'll be ending 2025 with this cluster and nebula combo 🏵 🔭 #astrophotography
- M31 Andromeda Galaxy When I was working on M31 back in August with my Odyssey, I never thought I would end the season with a full mosaic of the galaxy 🥹 See you next year Andromeda! 🔭 #astrophotography #M31
- M42 Orion Nebula Integrated a night of 60 second exposures for the first time to compare with my previous edit. 🔭 #astrophotography #m42
- NGC2244 Rosette Nebula Working on these nebula projects with the S30, it amazes me seeing the star clusters carving out such vast pockets in the nebula 🔭 #astrophotography #ngc2244
- M42 Orion Nebula w/ Running Man My first Orion project with the S30. I think the clear sky vibes were a bit much, I had 8 straight nights and now its 80 degrees in December 🔥 🎄 🔭 #M42
- M45 Pleiades Cluster Another preview project from my first few nights with the S30. I'm super excited to finally work on M45 after fawning over everyone's this past year 💙 🔭 #astrophotography #M45
- I finally got an S30 and can't believe fun it makes astrophotography. I'll finally be working on a fully framed Andromeda after some more overnights and my first ever Pleiades project! 🔭 #astrophotography #M31
- M33 Triangulum Galaxy I finally hit my target 18 hours on M33. The skies have been horrible since last full moon, send me clear skies magic ✨️ 🔭 #astrophotography #M33
- Our moon is looking incredible tonight 🌙 #moonhour
- M7 Ptolemy Cluster Finally going through my Summer cluster captures. M7 is a beautiful open cluster viewable through a pair of binoculars 🔭 #astrophotography #M7
- M31 Andromeda Galaxy Got my final hours on M31 for the season. Crossing my fingers I can record a comet finally with my Odyssey 🔭 #astrophotography #M31
- My favorite landscape photo from my vacation in O'ahu last week. The skies were very cloudy every morning except on this final day 🌅 #sunrise #beach #photography #aloha #kahalabeach #oahu #hawaii 🤙
- The Sun squeezed out some residual rain from the skies after a weekend of monsoon storms 🌦 #landscape #photography
- From my hike this morning 🌥 #sunrise #photography
- M31 Andromeda Galaxy Checking in on M31 at 16 hours integration. When the skies clear I'm hoping to start capturing M33 for as much time. #astrophotography #M31
- Moments before the Sun rose over storm clouds today. #sunrise #photography
- My hiking season is officially underway!
- M31 Andromeda Galaxy My first time shooting M31 after missing it last year. I'll be recording its satellite galaxies M110-M32 this season also. 🔭 #astrophotography #M31
- M8 Lagoon Nebula I targeted M8 a couple more nights last week so I could give my favorite nebula a final farewell 🔭 #astrophotography #M8
- NGC1232 Galaxy Working on ngc5907 had me in the mood to reprocess a grand design spiral from last Spring. #astrophotography #ngc1232
- NGC5907 Galaxy This edge-on galaxy has a beautiful halo to process, thanks to its stellar streams visible at longer exposures. 🔭 #astrophotography #ngc5907
- M2 Star Cluster One of the biggest and oldest globular clusters in our galaxy at about 13 billion years old 🫨 🔭 #astrophotography #M2
- NGC6826 Blinking Nebula My final planetary nebula in this series. I'm looking forward to some galaxy and cluster projects to finish the month with. 🔭 #astrophotography #ngc6826
- NGC6543 Cat's Eye Nebula A planetary nebula 3x further away than the Dumbbell. Also galaxy NGC6552 making an appearance to the right. 🔭 #astrophotography #ngc6543
- M57 Ring Nebula Another planetary nebula, about twice the distance from us compared to the Dumbbell Nebula. 🔭 #astrophotography #M57
- M27 Dumbbell Nebula A vibrant planetary nebula big enough to view through binoculars 🔭 #astrophotography #M27
- Massive lightning storm going on tonight. #Monsoon
- M22 Globular Star Cluster Almost forgot this cluster from my Teapot Collection. It's definitely worth trying to see with binoculars a month ago. 🔭 #astrophotography #M22
- M20 Trifid Nebula Rounding out the Teapot Collection from my last batch of nebula targets. Current targets are Dumbbell-Iris and the skies are projected clear 🕺 🔭 #astrophotography #M20
- M16 Eagle Nebula Kind of disappointed with only 2 hours of capture time over the entire 2 months this was out, but I'm happy with my final edit. 🔭 #astrophotography #M16
