  • The Rosette Nebula (NGC 2244)

    Red skull! The Rosette Nebula (NGC 2244). Stack of 20 exposures 3 minutes long at ISO 1600. Stacked in AstroPixelProcessor, and edited in Photoshop. I used a SkyWatcher Esprit 100 telescope on a HEQ 5 Pro tracking mount, and the Nikon z 50.

  • Pinwheel Galaxy

    First attempt at the Pinwheel Galaxy, M33. Only managed to get 10 usable lights because of dew and clouds. Next time I’ll have a heater! 10x300s exposures at iso 1600.

  • Pleiades

    Pleiades M45 last night. Moon was out, so hard to get detail! 🔭

  • Orion Nebula

    Orion Nebula (stacked) made from ~30 exposures between 40s and 3 minutes, ISO 800. SkyWatcher Esprit 100 telescope. Nikon z 50. Much better than my last attempt.

  • Lego table

    Built a Lego table from old IKEA drawers.

  • Pumpkin jam

    Made some pumpkin jam this year. Tastes a bit like toffee. Not sure if that’s good or bad.

  • Mario Lego

    I guess we need a new dining room now. #mariolego
