Really pleased with how this HaRGB Andromeda image came out! RGB data captured in October from dark skies, H-alpha from Chicago a couple nights back. Processed in #pixinsight

This is incredible.
From @Jamie_Lane where AirBnBs are fully booked next week.
Awesome #starlink pass over Chicago! As predicted it went right through the frame for the Soul Nebula! Not spaced out enough to see many individual trails in the 2-min exposure, but quite an impressive streak.

Comet hunting in the bright skies of Chicago!
15-min live-stack from the ASIAir Plus and you can see how much the comet has moved in just that time!
Equipment:
@Celestron RASA 8
@zwoasi 533MC Pro

Not a bad-looking comet from very light-polluted skies in Chicago!
Gotta play around more with reducing the star trails, but given the conditions I am very happy with how this turned out!
170x10" (28ish minutes)

Hello, 🔥 and 🐴
Giving the 533MC Pro a try and very happy with it so far! Tried some new things with processing.
