The 2025 image was taken last week and the other image was January 2022 with just a tripod and a Nikon D5600. #astronomy #astrophotography #photography11 Jan 2025 18:25 +0000at://did:plc:4f23crk3mg23pobjrtmcdehj/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfidfsfuj22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/cobalt-915.bsky.social/post/3lfehzbcdkc2pThe other night I was setting up to image M42 and could not get my guide camera and new off axis guider to pick up stars. Once I got it adjusted I realized it was a little too early in the evening to start shooting.

Here we got the Heart, Eagle and Elephant Trunk Nebulas in the SHO palette. The Witch Head Nebula, an old favorite, located near Rigel rounds out this set. #astrophotography #photography #space05 Jan 2025 18:25 +0000at://did:plc:4f23crk3mg23pobjrtmcdehj/app.bsky.feed.post/3lezalffxdc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/cobalt-915.bsky.social/post/3leun5usagk2kChristmas may be over but I got a Christmas Tree in the sky for you to enjoy. The Christmas Tree Nebula (yes that is the real name) and the Cone Nebula in the SHO palette. This nebula is located in the Monoceros constellation 2300 light years from Earth. #astrophotography #photography03 Jan 2025 22:27 +0000at://did:plc:4f23crk3mg23pobjrtmcdehj/app.bsky.feed.post/3leun5usagk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/cobalt-915.bsky.social/post/3lejuvp2ekk2xThe Horsehead and Flame Nebulas in the SHO Hubble Palette. The SHO stands for Sulfur Hydrogen Oxygen which are assigned to the red, green and blue channels respectively.
