All of them should be there.

btw the rest of our photos are here. https://deepnighttech.com.au/image/Grampians/ All the raw and jpeg. I only really processed the Orion ones but there is others of the Milkyway and Magellanic clouds. You get a sense of how dark it was given the shadows of the clouds and trees just look black. Wo...

Winter is the best!  It has the longest and clearest nights :) Yeah well, my equipment begs to differ lol. My mount stops functioning well past -15C (the motor slows down) and it regularly gets below -20C to -25C at night. Also the powdery snow and frequent frosts makes going outside at night durin...

Nice! Winter is setting in so I think my season is over. Time to go into hibernation until late March

Welp. Weather is not going to cooperate anymore so I'm stopping at 20.25 hours on bubble.

Well I ended up giving up on helix because it was too much of a pain to shoot, but here it is:  https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446814919904460810/631740130658615306/helixe.png Instead, I'm now shooting the Bubble Nebula + Northern Lagoon Nebula + part of the Lobster Claw Nebula 101x300s (8h2...

Welp got 25x300 frames of OIII in so I could do an HOO combine...

Alright well few days of clear skies for the next week (I hope I didn't just jinx it) so new targets! Helix Nebula - NGC 7293. Very hard target from 45 degree north. Relatively large and dim target. Max altitude is at 25 degrees and I can only shoot it for about 2.5 hours per night. Here's 29x300s. ...

That's my setup. Telescope is a 130mm aperture / 650mm focal length scope (Skywatcher 130pds)

So, new target: NGC 7380 / Wizard Nebula Unfortunately, weather has been really not great lately, but has cleared up the last few days. Buuuut, the moon is almost full and is essentially ruining my skies by basically bumping it from Bortle 8 to Bortle 8-9.  Nonetheless, I've managed to get quite a b...
