These will all be messed up as I grabbed them off of FB to share.
Recent adventure

The Bubble Nebula (ngc7635).  literally a bubble in space, created by its star which burns 4 million times brighter than our sun.  It produces gaseous outflows called stellar winds that howl at more than 4 million mph.   

My daughter Lilly asked "just how deep into space are you photographing dad"    Well, The bubble nebula is 7100 light years from earth.  That means the light captured in this photo was from about 5000 BC.  Light zips through space at 186,000 miles per second and travels 5.88 trillion miles per year, so this is 7100x5.88 trillion miles away.  Just short of 42 quadtrillion miles away.  For reference, the light from our sun is about 8 minutes away.

Filmed with my 400mm Canon lens, 128 images at 5 minutes each, dodging clouds and Aurora over a couple nights, stacked in deep sky stacker with darks, flats and bias frames, and stretched and edited in photoshop.

All of these have been taken with my 400, except the planets. I used my telescope for them.

Yes, Saturn and Jupiter, the heart nebula and the Iris nebula.  I’ve got lots of learning to do, but working on it.

A friend of mine has a telescope that automatically adjusts for the rotation of the earth. The pics are incredibly clear.

This photo turned out to be one of my most liked ever.  There were about a dozen people who claimed I faked it, but the other 5000 people or so liked it.
