My latest - a distant galaxy surrounded by faint, diffuse clouds of dust and gas that are illuminated by the combined light of all the stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. Celestron RASA telescope ZWO ASI533MC camera Antlia L-Filte Starfront Observatories

Hello Everyone, this comet has the most dynamic tail I've ever seen. It's different every time I take a picture of it. This is from the morning of Oct. 4. I used my Celestron RASA telescope, ZWO ASI533MC color camera, and an Antlia L-Filter from Starfront Observatories.

Comet "C/2025 A6 (Lemmon)" won't return for 1,350 years, so I am taking advantage now. I captured it again this morning, Oct. 2, and it's still getting brighter. I used my Celestron RASA telescope, ZWO ASI533MC color camera, and an Antlia L-Filter from Starfront Observatories.

My latest capture - the globular cluster M15. It's estimated to be 12.5 billion years old. It has a total luminosity of 360,000 times that of the Sun. I used a Celestron RASA telescope, ZWO ASI533MC color camera, and an Antlia L-Filter from Starfront Observatories.

My latest. IC 342 is sometimes called "The Hidden Galaxy" because it is seen through our own galaxy's thick star field (I had to reduce the stars in this picture to see the galaxy better). Celestron RASA telescope ZWO ASI533MC camera Antlia L-Filter Starfront Observatories

My latest - four open star clusters in the Cassiopeia constellation. A rich section of the Milky Way runs through Cassiopeia, and it contains several open clusters, young luminous galactic disc stars, and nebulae. Celestron RASA telescope ZWO ASI533MC camera Starfront Obs

My latest capture - the globular cluster (M54). In July 2009, a team of astronomers reported that they had found evidence of an intermediate-sized black hole in the core of this cluster. Celestron RASA telescope ZWO ASI533MC camera Antlia L-Filter Starfront Observatories

My latest capture - the Sculptor Galaxy. It's a starburst galaxy, which means that it is currently undergoing a period of intense star formation. It's 11.4 million light years from Earth. Celestron RASA telescope ZWO ASI533MC camera Antlia L-Filter Starfront Observatories

My latest capture - The Squid Nebula. It's a faint, massive outflow of oxygen gas. It's mysterious origin might be tied to a triple star system and is still being studied by astronomers. Celestron RASA telescope ZWO ASI533MC camera Optolong L-eXtreme Starfront Observatories

My latest: a leftover remnant section (NGC 6992) of a supernova. The star that exploded was 20 times more massive than our sun. The blast occurred between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. Celestron RASA telescope ZWO ASI533MC camera Optolong L-eXtreme Starfront Observatories
