Thrilled to capture a clear photo of IC 434 in this beautiful weather. IC 434, also known as the Horsehead Nebula, is a dark nebula situated in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. #Astrophotography #IC434 #HorseheadNebula

"approved" and safe Eclipse filters are starting to get harder to get delivered by the eclipse date (esp if you want to do some testing ahead of time). Lots of glasses styles still available though I assume they will start to get harder to get delivered soonish #eclipse #solareclipse #filters #astrophotography
🚨 A STAR HAS DIED! ⭐💥
And I just happened to catch it from my city light-polluted backyard, using a 5cm aperture SeestarS50!
Check it out ... on the left is my image (only 25 mins of data). The cross hairs indicate a 'new star' appearing in galaxy NGC 3621. The right image is from Stellarium and I have annotated where the new star appears, and how it was not there before.
This is a type II supernova, so a massive star's core collapsed and triggered off an extremely violent explosion that we are seeing 22 million years later.
It likely formed a neutron star or pulsar!
It is incredibly bright and I encourage everyone to turn their telescopes towards it and get data / light curves!
These mean looking sunspots are the cause of the strongest geomagnetic storm (G5 - Severe) in 20 years!
They are really huge, spanning about 16 Earth diameters. Auroras are happening now and probably will continue over the weekend.

American astronomical computer & astrophotographer Mary R. Calvert was born #OTD in 1884.
She started as her uncle Edward Emerson Barnard's assistant & ended publishing his (and their) work that cataloged over 300 dark objects (dark nebulae) — primarily those that extinguish the most starlight reaching the Earth lie between the bulk (inward local sector, central bulge, and other sectors of the Milky Way) thus between the Local Arm (Orion Arm) & the Sagittarius Arm.

A memory from July 16th, 2020 - Comet Neowise on the NW sky. We could see it over a few consecutive nights about 2 hours after sunset..
Just started out learning photography around that time, didn’t have an editing software, other than my phone, so it’s noisy…
Blended image, taken from the same spot (my balcony) few seconds apart at 560mm and brought them a little bit closer to each other to fit the frame…

Waxing Crescent Moonset in sunset afterglow over the Olympic Mountains. It became visible for the camera only just a few minutes before setting.

Victoria isn't particularly known for #aurora, but with the sun being at its solar maximum it's a great time to keep an eye on the night sky.
Despite spending about 9 weeks in Iceland and Norway (during late autumn/winter) the past 18 months, two of the best Auroras I've ever seen have been right here where you normally never see them. Fingers crossed for some more soon!

It’s pretty insane just how much data you can pull out of an unmodified #canon5dmarkiv sensor shooting #astrophotography. The fact I was balanced on a very slippery rock with my tripod in waist deep water at 3am with my tracking mount after driving 8 hours to shoot this feels like it deserves some credit.
#photography folks, what’s the dumbest setup you’ve used for the shot?
A grandiose view of the Milky Way stretches across a clear night sky, revealing countless stars over the quiet desert of Death Valley, California.

I can confirm via Patioboater's Crappy Lungs-o-meter(TM) that the air quality outside in this smokey sunset is terrible.
Pretty sunset, tho'.

#PPOD: Due to airglow, which is usually hard to see, the sky can glow like a giant rainbow. Disturbances like storms cause gravity waves, making airglow visible. The colors likely originate from various molecules: deep red from OH molecules at 87 km high, and orange and green from sodium and oxygen atoms higher up.
