This is one of my favorite images, it was my profile pic for a long time!
I present the Dumbbell nebula, a beautiful and very bright planetary nebula located 1,200 light years away!
I captured this with my Celestron 8” edge scope!

This is the Bodes and Cigar galaxies seen in a very wide field shot with my kit lens and dslr!
It was a very old picture I took when I was first getting into astrophotography!
I labeled it for you too!

The great Hercules star cluster (M13) through my telescope!
This is only like 30min of data but this target does not need that much time, it’s bright and if you do it right the detail in the core can be amazing, seeing all the individual stars!

This is my most recent image featuring comet C/2025 R3, it was visible to me a few months ago in the early morning sky!
This is only 5 minutes of total exposure time to produce this image!!
Clouds and sun ruined the rest👌

I took this photo of Jupiter!
It was taken with only a 8” telescope and I say only because there’s guys out there with 14 and 16” scopes and what I was able to resolve with just my 8” is comparable to them!!
It’s the seeing conditions they make or break planets!

This picture is one of my favorites, stunning details in the spiral arms structure and dust lanes in the galaxy!

This is the core of the great Andromeda Galaxy!
I captured this at 2,000mm of focal length to reveal stunning details in the dust lanes and core details!
I LOVE SHOOTING DEEP!

This is the Iris Nebula capture by me, it’s not my best capture at all but I’m proud of every image I take!
It’s a really beautiful reflection nebula emitting dark dust lit up by the hot central star, this nebula does not emit its own light!
It’s about 1,300 light years away!
