I captured this over 2 nights in narrowband using H and O filters. This was done using a Celestron C8 on a Sky Watcher EQ6R-Pro with an ZWO EAF, EFW and a ASI533MM Pro (Cooled) camera.

My first "successful" photo with a star tracker. My 75-150mm old lens is bad which makes the stars look quite horrid. Pixinsights star reduction could fix this a bit, but I can't afford the software right now so I'm only using DSS + PS.

This was about 200x30sec exposures in bortle 4

Despite its flaws, I'm happy that I got something after months and months of failed shoots and cloudy skies. Thanks for the great astrophotography community for helping me!

I have two William optics scopes here, a 61 and a 132. I love refractors. I am targeting the eastern veil nebula with the 61 and the iris nebula with the 132.

I took this photo in late May 2023. I used a William Optics Fluorostar 132 refractor with a ASI 6200MM Pro camera. It was a series of 100 photos which I picked the top 10%. Its the highest quality moon shot I've taken so far.

Hey everyone!

I'm really new to astrophotography. I've been interested in it for some time, but only started this winter. I know I have a lot to learn and many things to improve, but I wanted to share this since I'm pretty happy how it turned out. I probably messed up the colors a bit though

This is my first picture

As I said, I'm new to all this and I know it's far from perfect, but I'm always open to learn new things and improve!

Hello all, just in case Reddit decides to implode I have set up an /r/astrophotography clone here. I am not a moderator of the original sub-reddit, and I would be happy to hand this over to those guys.

Cheers
