Astrophotography Deep Sky Nebula 

03/02/2025 – The Boogeyman Nebula

March 3, 2025 by Hersey

Clear, cold (upper 20s F), night. Just a little sliver of the 15% waxing Crescent Moon in the SW sky. I uncovered the AT66ED to capture the March Sky-Watcher USA TOTM, LDN 1622 or the Boogeyman Nebula. The dark nebula LDN 1622…

02/25/2025 – Some SeeStar EAA – Capturing a Few Messiers

February 26, 2025 by Hersey

Set the SeeStar up just before dark. Updated the app and the firmware, then adjusted the level. Nice clear night in the low 50s, dropping into the mid-40s as the Sun went down. I started capturing Messier objects just after 7 PM….

02/01/2025 – LBN 777 – The Baby Eagle Nebula TOTM

February 2, 2025 by Hersey

The forecast was calling for a clear sky for most of the night so I set things up to capture the SkywatcherUSA TOTM for February 2025, LBN 777 the Baby Eagle Nebula or Vulture Head Nebula. The night started off clear, cool,…

01/28/2025 – SeeStar Mosaic – M 45, The Pleiades

January 29, 2025 by Hersey

A lot of high thin clouds moving across the sky but it has been a bit since I have been able to look up so I decided to get the SeeStar out. It was a lot warmer than it has been (well…

01/15/2025 – Horsehead Nebula SeeStar Mosaic

January 16, 2025 by Hersey

Nice, clear, and very cold night. The bright Moon rose in the east a little after 7 PM. Since it was clear I had a go at another mosaic from the SeeStar using SeeStar Alp. This time on the area around the…

Friday night it snowed. Not too bad, a couple inches and a lot of it melted in the Sun on Saturday afternoon. Saturday night was cold and clear, the nearly full Moon was super bright. I set up and leveled the SeeStar…

Another nice clear cold dry night. The waxing Crescent Moon was up a bit longer in the West, but was not very bright. The sky was really stable and clear, a nice night for collecting some light. I framed up the Horsehead…

Another beautiful clear night. A bit cold with temperatures dropping down in the low 30s once the Sun set, but it did not seem to be as damp out as the night before. The Moon was just a small sliver and set…

December 31, 2024 by Hersey

A nice clear night with no Moon. A bit humid and the temperature dropped to the upper 30s after the Sun went down. I set up framing in NINA and created a sequence to collect 6 hours of light from the Rosette…

12/22/2024 – The Christmas Tree Cluster

December 23, 2024 by Hersey

Merry Christmas!!! NGC 2264 and the surrounding area seemed like a very appropriate target for this time of year. Very cold (24 F), mostly clear, night with a waning last quarter Moon which did not rise until after midnight. A few high…
