NGC 2237 The Rosette Nebula (HSO) This is the first time I’ve created an astrophotograph using an HSO palette (Hydrogen-alpha/Sulphur/Oxygen). #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #processing #galaxy #art #space #science #PhotographersUnite @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social See more info ALT 👇

The lake surface got still on the morning of 8/14, perfect for making a star trail image with reflections! The bright trails on the right are the Pleiades and Hyades, center trails from Perseus. The patch of short streaks are satellites glinting earthshine. There are a few meteors. #astrophotography

Ho Chi Minh City, where chaos has its own traffic rules. Hundreds of trajectories, almost no apparent order, and somehow it flows. #BlueSkyArtShow #Chaos #photography

Chaos, organized by magnetism. Plasma twists, erupts and flows across the solar chromosphere, shaped by forces we can only see through the structures they create. Our star, caught in a restless moment. #BlueSkyArtShow #Chaos #photography [details in Alt-text]

Still refining my ultra-narrowband H-alpha solar imaging technique. 500 frames with a Sony A7S + TS61EDPH + Quark Chromosphere. I'm tuning my Python post-processing script around torchMFBD blind deconvolution (github.com/aasensio/tor...) #SolarImaging #HAlpha

Just to give a sense of scale: Earth is shown here at the correct relative size beside the Sun. Prominences extend several Earth diameters above the solar limb. #SolarImaging #HAlpha #Astrophotography

Late post! My Aug 12 total solar eclipse timelapse from Spain. Frame alignment was a headache, none of my usual tools worked, so I ended up doing it manually before assembling the video. Sony A7S + Quark Chromosphere + TS61EDPH #Eclipse2026 #Astrophotography

Finally, at the very last minute, I decided on a 10-hour road trip to Spain to be in the path of totality. #Earth, Moon, Sun. A perfect alignment. 📷 : TS61EDPH, Sony A7S and Quark Chromosphere. #BlueskyArtShow

Just our Sun Getting ready for the August 12 eclipse, partial from my location. First light with my Quark Chromosphere (ultra-narrowband Ha). * Unfiltered Sony A7S + TS61EDPH * 120 images stacked Still some work to do on capture and processing, I’m completely new to this! #Astrophotography

In Murano, just across the water from Venice, Watching glass come out of the furnace still glowing. #BlueSkyArtShow #Glass #photography

M8 Lagoon Nebula (HOO) Finally, I was able to finish the project I mentioned on June, 10th => bsky.app/profile/beat... What do you think of it? #astrophotography #astronomy #PhotographersUnite #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersOfBluesky @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social Clear Skies! (See more ALT 👇)

My next project, M8 Lagoon Nebula in HOO (Hydrogen-alpha/Oxygen/Oxygen), looking good so far 😀👍. I did the stacking of the exposure frames in Astro Pixel Processor, and now I'm using PixInsight for the processing. Stay tuned! 😊

Schlieren Photography A simple DIY setup using my telescope’s parabolic mirror—a great chance to clean it! A pinhole light reflects off the mirror, focusing at a knife edge, where airflow bends light into contrast. A DSLR captures these invisible flows. More in Alt-Text
