CALVIN: If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently.
HOBBES: How so?
CALVIN: Well, when you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day.
HOBBES: We spent our day looking under rocks in the creek.
CALVIN: I mean other people. #longexposure #nightimages #nightshooter #nightshooters #nightpics #milkywaygalaxy #astrophotography #astrophoto #milkywayphotography #astrophotography #longexposure #longexpohunter #longexpo #amazing_longexpo #amazingearth #milkywayphoto #milkyway

Lower’s Nebula - The HII region Sh 2-261 is often called Lower’s nebula because it appears on a photographic plate taken by the father-and-son team of Harold and Charles Lower in 1939. The Lowers were amateur astronomers, accomplished telescope makers and pioneering astrophotographers from San Diego, California.This is one of the faintest and most difficult objects I’ve shot so far. It’s a very dim, deep red, characteristic of hydrogen alpha light. I do love that colour very much though and it was a fun challenge to shoot and process. Taken last night at Mount Burnett Observatory.Camera: Canon 5D3
Telescope: 8“ f4 Newtonian
Mount: NEQ6

Cat’s Paw Nebula - At 5,500 light years distance in the constellation of Scorpius, the Cat’s Paw Nebula is an emission nebula containing a star forming region with many massive, young stars within.
As usual, winter has been challenging to try and take night sky photos! Not only has it been very cloudy, but there have been a lot of windy nights, as was the case on this night. As such, the stars aren’t quite as tight and round as I’d like, but I’m still satisfied with how this photo came out. For now! I’ll hopefully try it again in the future after I’ve further improved my skills and equipment.

Trifid Nebula - After a three month break due to bad weather, illness and injury, it was great to get under the stars again last night! This time I tried one of the most popular winter winter targets: Messier 20, the Trifid Nebula. This emission/reflection nebula pair sits in Sagittarius towards the Milky Way core at a distance of 5200 light years.Telescope: 8“ f4 Newtonian
