The Eagle 🦅

Here's a 30 hour shot of the Eagle Nebula using the Esprit 150 & Vixen 8" Newtonian combo. Very satisfying to have both scopes running smoothly after months of hibernation.

This one is mostly hydrogen (red), with oxygen (blue) more prevalent at center surrounding the Pillars of Creation. Thankful to live where this target is within reach, even if during the worst months of the year.

Hey astro world 👋
It's been a rough few months of clouds here, but we lucked out with a clear night last night. Probably a couple more months to go before we get any recurring clear skies, so I'll take what I can get. Hope everyone is doing well.

24hrs of the Eagle Nebula 🦅

This is the first combined dataset from my Esprit 150 & Vixen 8” Newtonian. Each scope brings something special to the table and I couldn't be happier with how well they've paired together. I must say, being able to double data each night really feels like a cheat code.

Also, huge shoutout to for repairing my CQ350 recently - he was an absolute life saver and the Esprit 150 is happy to be back on its throne. Hope everyone is doing well 🤘
