NGC 1893 + IC 410 – First Light with the MLAstro SAL-33 🌌
This is my first light image with the new MLAstro SAL-33, and I’m very happy with how the session went. After a bit of fine-tuning, guiding was smooth, stable, and consistent throughout the night — a great first impression 🚀
The image is based on just a little over 3 hours of integration captured under Bortle 6–7 skies. For a first run with a new mount, the performance and results are very encouraging, and there’s clearly more potential to unlock ✨

✨ NGC 7822 — A Star-Forging Monster 3,000 Light Years Away

Over 5 nights and a crazy 34 hours of total integration, the dramatic pillars and glowing gas clouds of NGC 7822 slowly emerged from the noise. This region is packed with newborn stars, radiation-carved structures, and some of the hottest young stars in our corner of the galaxy.

✨ NGC 1333 — The Embryo Nebula
My first attempt at capturing a reflection nebula — and my first deep-sky session with no filter. A completely different editing workflow than what I’m used to, but that’s exactly what made this one special. 💙🌌
