  Wizards in the cosmic mist. Added a second night of data to my Wizard nebula capture in H⍺+OIII, now slightly above 8.5 hours. Guiding has not been great, and I probably oversharpened it a bit, but I'm not too displeased by the result. Admittedly, the availability of the RC Astro toolset in Siril improved the quality of the obtainable results quite dramatically. I'm going through older #astrophotography captures and reprocessing them here and there and results are quite something...

  M 16 again, after two nights of narrowband (H⍺+OIII) capture. From my location, where the horizon is very light polluted in all directions and M16 is always very low in the sky, I guess this is as far as I can go... #astrophotography

  Some more #astrophotography from Saturday night. Considering the night, it came out better than I expected after all...

  M 57 - The Ring nebula Small even at ~1.3m of focal length 🤷‍♂️ #astrophotography

  Still a bit early for this subject, but had a night of decent seeing last night, and with the full moon there ain't many bright emission nebulae to aim for with a narrowband filter; at least not in my field of view. So here it is: a bit more than 2.5 hours of Caldwell 27 on May 1st... #astrophotography

  Fixed(?) collimation, a test is due with the next go-to subject for the season... Just enough to get annoyed by light pollution gradients. #astrophotography

  Quick capture for my favorite subject from last night. Since it's finally galaxy seasons moved the rig to the big tube. It's a bit out of collimation, so fixed that tonight (hopefully); meanwhile software helped fixing the star shapes... I'm always impressed by the fact that even in my terrible sky one can still take pictures like this. I wonder what I may be able to obtain from a decent location... #astrophotography
