I have decided it was finally time to launch a website! See the link in my bio. This is where I’m tracking my progress towards imaging the Messier catalog and other projects I’m working on!

Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to set up a print shop yet, but for those who are interested in a print, send me a message!

M61, NGC4303, or the Swelling Spiral Galaxy. Although it’s listed in Messier’s catalog, it was actually discovered 6 days earlier by Italian priest and astronomer Barnaba Oriani.

After editing the photo, I also decided to play around with Pixinsight’s 3DPlot feature.

The Ghost of Cassiopeia, IC59/IC63, along side the Sailboat Cluster, NGC 225, and a random Lens flare I thought looked cool so I left it in😂

About 10 hours of data taken in Bortle 5/6 skies with the William Optics Z61II, ASI2600MC Duo and EQ6-R Pro.

During some cloudy weather recently and after learning new editing methods, I decide to re edit some old data.

The Lagoon nebula (M8), Trifid nebula (M20), and Webb’s Cross (M21) taken in 2021. This was my first image I ever took with a telescope, the William Optics Z61II. Shot using my Sony A7III and a Star Adventurer 2i.

My first attempt at the Leo Triplet! The Leo Triplet is a group of galaxies approximately 35 million light years away with magnitudes ranging from 8.9 to 9.5. I still don’t love how it turned out, but I plan to spend some time in bottle 1 skies next chance I get.

Image 1: The Leo Triplet
Image 2: NGC 3628 or the Hamburger Galaxy
Image 3: M65, discovered in 1780
Image 4: M66, also discovered in 1780
Image 5: annotated image
Image 6: ASIAIR single frame with auto stretch

Something a little different! A detailed view of some of the rocks along the edge of the Little Yoho River near Laughing Falls in Yoho National Park. The water has cut right through the rock and polished it, making it look like obsidian when it’s wet.

8 minutes of data on the star Antares. This data was taken at the end of the lunar eclipses a few weeks back while I was tearing down my other setup, and was a bit of an experiment to see just how little of data I could use to bring out some faint details.

Data captured using an Askar 130PHQ, ZWO ASI2600MC Duo and ASIAIR mounted on an EQ6-R Pro.
