I’m excited to share this one with everyone…. Here is my composite image of the Veil Nebula in Ha and OIII. I previously imaged the Eastern and Western portions of the Veil Nebula separately and have been working over the past few weeks to capture the gaps in those two images to create a complete view of the Nebula. This image is a mosaic of 6 different frames created from data gathered over the past month. This is my first mosaic astrophotography image and there was definitely a learning curve for me in building it. The added challenge of ensuring the data gathered over many different nights was both consistent and fit together correctly turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated going in. But that challenge is one of the things I love about astrophotography… there’s always something new to learn. The Veil Nebula is 110 light years across and in it’s entirety covers an area of the Earth’s sky equivalent to 6 full moons. As mentioned in previous posts the Veil Nebula is the remnant of a supernova explosion 8 thousand years ago and in this image you can see the spherical shape the nebula takes on as it continues to expand out from the point of that explosion.

Although only an artist depiction, this image activates my exoplanetary imagination! How does it make you feel, my lovely humans?

This evening we managed to dodge the clouds and see the partial lunar eclipse! I managed to get a couple of shots. This is the first time I've gone eclipse chasing around my local area haha, it was good fun!

The Helix Nebula again, it's still low in the sky where I live, but it's an interesting target and I'm getting some practice in before September when it'll be easier for me to get at. This image was taken with my 70x400mm Celestron travelscope. These wider shots sometimes make objects look small, but in reality this nebula is half the size of the full moon in the sky. What's even more amazing is that the nebula's diameter is over 5 light years, which is larger than the distance between us and our closest neighbouring star system. The nebula is growing in size, with an expansion rate around 40km/s, but the distance means that we don't perceive any change on short time scales. If you've got some binoculars or a short focal length scope, this one shows as a greenish wispy cloud to my eye. I've never seen it at high powers, I think its low surface brightness means a wider view gives better contrast so it can be picked out. #helix #helixnebula #dso #deepspace #deepsky #space #universe #cosmos #nature #planetarynebula #lookup #widefield #longexposure #photography #astrophotography #backyardastronomer #backyardastronomy #spacedad #star #stars #telescopes #telescope #southernskies #clearskies #celestron #canon #1100d #ngc7293 #cadwell63

First up a kit shot, here's my moon set up for this evening. An @altairastro7 ascent 102ed f7 paired with a gpcam 3 290c camera on a Skywatcher HEQ5 and my DIY pier #telescope #ascent102ed #astrophotography #amateurastronomy #amateurastronomer #sky #night #nightshots #moonphotography #backyardastronomy #altairastro #skywatcher
