I took this photo back in May. It was hot then and entropy was growing every day. But at night, despite the flares, I was immersed in the darkness of the Universe, remembering #Astrohat and you, my admirers of beauty. And I also remembered - I have never observed M63 in my Dobsonian and that is a shame. Apparently, in the 400 mm main mirror, this galaxy was full of interesting specks)....

Yesterday I played around with the Milky Way a bit. Our own galaxy amazes and excites me every night. #Astrohouse...

Gossip from deep space! I managed to film a real intergalactic striptease. The famous Bode Galaxy (M81) got into the frame, shamelessly spinning its lush spiral arms right in the middle of the constellation Ursa Major! We arranged a total photo hunt for it. 1 hour and 4 minutes of pure photo espionage (or, as the stuffy astronomers say, accumulating a useful signal in 64 minutes of exposure) - and voila! The naked truth about what stars are doing at a crazy distance. Technical file of our intergalactic photo model: Brightness: Shines at a full +6.9 m (stellar...

An astrophotographer-guerrilla with the help of an ultra-compact reconnaissance complex broke through the intergalactic blockade and successfully completed an 87-minute special operation to capture photons! While the personnel at the Earth command post were taking a tactical pause over a cup of tea, the quanta of light that had broken through the defensive redoubts 28 million light years away surrendered. They escaped from the Sombrero (M104) stronghold back in the Oligocene (when the ancestors of monkeys were just learning to hold a stick) and all this time were...

I visited the "Ceta" (NGC 4631), and it didn't come alone, and even with its pocket satellite on top! The little DWARF mini telescope honestly puffed away for forty-six minutes (while something buzzed and whistled nearby) to prove: the size of the telescope doesn't matter when the Universe is so big). In short, I caught the galaxy, and the "Hockey Stick" (NGC 4656), which is floating below, officially receives the prize for the best photobombing of the evening) #Astrochata...

While the neighbors were having their tenth sleep, my DWARF mini heroically "vacuumed" photons from the abyss for four hours in a row to track down this elusive spiral M 101. The conditions were such that even mosquitoes were wearing sweaters, but for the sake of such a shot I was ready to turn into an ice statue (spoiler: the telescope was more comfortable than me). In the end, this "little guy" produced a result that proves that the size of the lens is not the main thing, if you have the patience of a Tibetan monk and the right software!...

Dwarf mini telescope is trying to catch photons from the Wizard Nebula (NGC7380 in the constellation Cepheus) in the pauses between the arrivals and the fluttering of the FPV. While the nightingales compete in loudness with the cannonade, I seek Zen in deep space, where vacuum and absolute calm reign. Consider it the highest aerobatics of a naturalist: filming the birth of stars 8,000 light years away, when the native earth under the tripod periodically sways like a cradle touched by the wind......

There is little time and good weather - NGC 4565 and M51 were at their zenith and very attractive for astrophotography Dwarf mini. Somewhere near the front, the night is warm and windless, in a good mood....

The first astrophoto m13 with a small telescope Dwarf mini near the front. Time was short and the humidity was noticeable after the rain. But only 7 minutes and the result is very good. Hoping to continue ......
