IC 5076 captured from my patio on four nights in August 😊🔭 This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 for a total integration time of about 24 hours in mono using a QHY294M cam and combining LRGB and Ha narrowband data to enhance the background. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social what do you see?
The open star cluster NGC 6823 in the constellation Vulpecula is surrounded by the beautiful emission nebula NGC 6820. The object just fits on my camera’s sensor, so I photographed it in early summer and accumulated a good 8 h of exposure time. 🔭 #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social
Are you sure it‘s not a romulan warbird 👽🛸🔭🧪🤣 Definitely a very nice image, Bernd 👌
Bernd Flachsbart@bflachsbart.bsky.social · 3w agoMWP 1 - The Methuselah Nebula captured from my patio on eleven short summer nights in July and August 😊🔭 This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 for a total integration time of about 40 hours in mono with Ha and OIII narrowband filters and combined with RGB stars. #Astrophotography
Amazing images, Andreas. I feel so happy for you two to have experienced this event in such a nice place, without nasty clouds and to take such fantastic pictures as memories with you. Looking forward to the long story at the STATT in Sankt Andreasberg 🔭🧪
Andreas Fischer@afischer.bsky.social · 3w agoWe’re back from Spain and I’ve finally had a chance to look through my photos of the total solar #eclipse. We were able to watch the eclipse perfectly from south-east of León – at the edge of a sunflower field. What an experience! #Sonnenfinsternis #astrophotography 🔭
@deutschebahn.com Vielen Dank, dass der ICE 947 gerade auf den ICE 514 gewartet hat. Ihr seid richtig super!!
Beautiful, Nico 🤩👏 The southern skies have such amazing sights. 🔭🧪
Nico Carver@nebulaphotos.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe Large Magellanic Cloud captured from Chile last week. I took this with my Canon Ra, RF85 F1.2 lens, and a Move Shoot Move Nomad tracker. About 3 hours total integration. #astrophotography
Bending for money instead of striving for the advancement of science for the good of mankind. 🧪

TLI! Translunar injection complete, Artemis II apogee now over 400,000 km; they're heading to the Moon.
That‘s a nice one, Bernd! The long integration time really pays off with all those nice details 👋🔭🧪🤩
Bernd Flachsbart@bflachsbart.bsky.social · 6mo agoNGC 3344 - The Sliced Onion Galaxy captured from my patio on seven nights this month 😊🔭 It was shot on the EdgeHD 8 for a total integration time of about 46 hours in LRGB and Ha to reveal the star forming regions. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social what do you see?
Nice catch, Bernd! I like the rough texture of the galaxy with all the detailed substructures 👍🧪🔭
Bernd Flachsbart@bflachsbart.bsky.social · 6mo agoNGC 2841 - The Tiger’s Eye Galaxy captured from my patio on five nights in February and March 😊🔭 It was shot on the EdgeHD 8 for a total integration time of 40 hours in LRGB and Ha to reveal the star forming regions. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social what do you see?
It looks as if it was made of three independently rotating discs like the time turner in Harry Potter novels. Thank your for the beautiful image of this celestial wonder 🧪🔭🚀
Andreas Fischer@afischer.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe spiral galaxy M 94 in Canes Venatici is an easy object to observe due to its bright centre with an inner ring of young stars. This photo, which I took over 3 nights in January with an exposure time of 12 h, also shows the faint outer ring of stars. #astrophotography 🔭 @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social
Astronomers are losing their minds over #NASAWebb’s latest images of the very brainy-looking nebula PMR 1. Its distinctive form is the result of a dying star expelling its outer layers: https://news.stsci.edu/4tVQccE 🔭 🧪
#PPOD: This stunning image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in the Egg Nebula, sculpted by freshly ejected stardust. Located approximately 1000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Egg Nebula features a central star... 🧪 🔭
Beautiful, Andreas. You propelled M1 a few places up on my wanted list. Did not expect it to be this detailed with a C8 🔭🤩🧪
Andreas Fischer@afischer.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe Crab Nebula (M 1) in the constellation Taurus was the second prominent supernova remnant that I captured this January. It is already visible with larger binoculars, but all the nice filaments only show up in the photo. Total integration: 6h 26min #astrophotography 🔭 @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social
Fantastic, Andreas. Ist’s a nice target well captured 🧪🔭🤩
Andreas Fischer@afischer.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443), a prominent supernova remnant in the constellation Gemini, was my first attempt at a mosaic. The idea only came to me during data collection, but after some challenging editing, I am kind of happy with the result. 🔭 #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social
Currently, several weaker comets are at least bright enough to be photographed. I captured 24P/Schaumasse on 17 January and the fragmented #comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) back on 26 December 2025. Their very different appearances are definitely worth further observation #astrophotography 🔭
What a wonderful night 🤩 The strongest solar storm in over 20 years produced an amazing show for hours. 🧪🔭
Finally, here is my composite image of the #Geminids peak on 13/14 December 2025. It was by far my most successful observation of a #MeteorShower, with over 260 meteors within 5 hours - what a night! The image is a composite of 61 individual shots of 15s and contains 65 Geminids. #Astrophotography 🔭
A beautiful way to eine the year! Wishing you all the best for 2026 🤩🔭
Andreas Fischer@afischer.bsky.social · 9mo agoThat was a tough one: The galaxy M74 in the constellation Pisces (and the weather) gave me some trouble, but I'm quite happy with my final image. This is a combined exposure time of 13 h with the L-Pro & IDAS NB12, which brought out the H-alpha regions #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social
This is #comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) from 11 December with two distinct nucleus fragments. It has changed significantly compared to my image from 22 November - and it has clearly reduced its relative speed, as I was able to expose for a little longer this time... #astrophotography 🔭
Sh2-200 The Bearclaw Nebula captured from my patio on six nights last month 😊🔭 This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 for a total integration time of about 55 hours in mono with Ha and OIII narrowband filters and combined with RGB stars. #Astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social what do you see?
A little late to the party, but here's last weekend's sun with massive sunspots, captured with a Nikon D5600 + Tamron 150-600 at 600 mm (f/8; ISO100; stack of 10 x 1/100 s) through thin clouds #astrophotography #sunphotography 🔭
Very interesting! Well done, Andreas 🔭🤩
Andreas Fischer@afischer.bsky.social · 10mo ago#Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) showed three clearly recognisable fragments of its nucleus on 22 November, and it appeared brighter than I had expected. Due to its fast movement relative to the stars, I could only take 20-second exposures through the C8 (image is a stack of 100 subs) #astrophotography
