The Angel Nebula's soft, glowing, wing-like dust and gas emissions and reflections are shaped by powerful stellar winds. It appears to fly through surrounding dark nebulae. High-resolution app.astrobin.com/i/0s28fm #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

Wishing you clear skies, Bluesky! ✨ Look to the constellation Perseus with the naked eye and discover two open star clusters, NGC 869 and NGC 884, the Double Cluster. 🤩 #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #starcluster #stars #eastcoastkin #photography

Good morning, Bluesky. 🌞 A sunrise over the Asia-Pacific from Hualien, Taiwan. #landscapephotography #landscape #seascapephotography #seascape #naturephotography #nature #sunrise #ocean #island #taiwan #asia #eastcoastkin #photography

Ushuring in August with IC 1396 and the Elephant's Trunk Nebula. It's perhaps one of the most iconic deep-space objects of the summer. The Hubble palette does it justice. High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/g77o00 #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

Drifting weightlessly through millions of schooling sardines and an underwater acoustic world filled with cracking noises, biological clicks, and low-frequency rumbles is a dreamy, surreal experience. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

I'm pretty sure this Pacific Swallow was staring me down. 😆 #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #birdphotography #birds #taiwan #asia #eastcoastkin #photography

The blue star is Menkib; it's a supergiant that's 40 times the mass of our Sun. Its extreme ultraviolet radiation ionizes the gases of the California Nebula, causing it to glow. #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposurephotography #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

This moray's home is off the southern shore of Liuqiu Island, southwest of Taiwan.

I rendered the Eagle M16 and Omega M17 nebulae in the Hubble palette with a 20 hr integration time. High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/of8mtj - Telescope: Askar FRA500 - Camera: ZWO ASI2600MC DUO - Mount: ZWO AM5N #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

Watch how this baby cuttlefish exhibits rolling ripple-like waves across its body, known as a "passing cloud display". And wait until the end for the disappearing act. 😆 #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #scuba #eastcoastkin #photography

I captured the Blue Horsehead Nebula IC 4592. It's a reflection nebula that is lit up by the multiple-star system Nu Scorpii in the constellation Scorpius. High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/evhtt9 #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

It's amazing how gracefully this egret moves through the water without disturbing it or the fish it is preying on. #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #birdphotography #birds #egret #taiwan #asia #eastcoastkin #photography

I captured this scorpionfish in Sogod Bay, Philippines. It's the most colorful I've ever seen. I took it with my Sony RX100 Mark IV, Nauticam housing, and YS-D3 strobe. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #scuba #eastcoastkin #photography

The Garlic Nebula's a supernova remnant of an expanding shell of debris and shockwaves from a massive star that exploded thousands of years ago. High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/tl6xtn #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #photography

Tree frogs are nocturnal predators that prey on insects at night; cockroaches beware. 😆 #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #amphibian #redeyedtreefrog #treefrog #frog #eastcoastkin #photography

We came across two octopuses at dusk. They are nocturnal, so this is the best time to find them, since they are awakening to hunt for crustaceans and mollusks. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

This lighthouse was built in 1939 after the ocean liner SS President Hoover struck the reef off Green Island, Taiwan, on 11 December 1937. We often scuba dive on this reef. 🤿 #landscapephotography #landscape #seascape #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #lighthouse #photography

It's summer, and the North American and Pelican Nebulae have returned to the night sky. Welcome back, old friends. ✨🤩 High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/lghjzo #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #nebula #photography

My Orchid Mantis, while pregnant, was hanging upside down from an air plant. She gave birth to hundreds of little orchids. 😊 #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography #macro #prayingmantis #mantis #insect #eastcoastkin #photography

The hibiscus pistil has five red, "hairy" spots at its tip, which make up the stigma, where pollen is collected. #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #floralphotography #flowers #hibiscus #eastcoastkin #photography

To best reveal the dark nebulosity of the Corona Australis Nebula, all the data was captured on moonless nights under Bortle 1 skies. Are your pareidolia senses tingling yet? 😆 High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/mfe7z3 #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

While island-hopping via a liveaboard in Komodo, Indonesia, we dove at remote dive sites. So the marine life was calm and fearless of my presence. This cuttlefish just chilled. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

Good morning, Bluesky! 🌞 The morning sun shines on the Tianfeng Pagoda at Xiangde Temple in Taroko Gorge, Hualien, Taiwan. #landscapephotography #landscape #naturephotography #nature #sunrise #pagoda #temple #taiwan #asia #photography

I took a macro shot of a sea urchin on a night dive. My camera's strobe fired, illuminating its spines, which are made of crystalline calcite, causing them to glow. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

My Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex image is a mosaic of 6 panels, 2 hours of imaging per panel. Stitched together, it captures a vast region of the sky and is a huge photo. High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/0dxgns #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #longexposure #nebula #eastcoastkin #photography

I took this macro photo of an Orangutan crab finding refuge in a stinging-celled bubble coral in Moalboal, Philippines. Yes, a crab with orange hair, cool! 😎 #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography #macro #scuba #eastcoastkin #photography
