When I tell someone ‘I’m an astrophotographer’ - there’s a little lag in their process and response time. 😂 Do you experience the same? ⭐️

Yes. I’ll stay indoors thank you. Winter is coming… But the cold brings excellent conditions

Our company feel victim to @amazon reseller fraud. Bloody hell, disgraceful. So well packaged to emulate the weight. Even had tamper proof packaging on.

From a while back, but I still enjoy this pic. An indoor star trail - looking out from my home office when I lived in Johannesburg suburbs.

Here’s 4h20 of the Jellyfish Nebula. SHO always challenges me, and nothing ever looks quite right unless it looks like a Hubble image. But here we are, and this is what I’m showing up with. Image deets on @AstroBin_com @zwoastro 2600MMduo. RedCat61 🔭 #astrophotography

Went back into the archives and reworked this old Deadvlei edit. Lost the raw files from this trip a decade ago, only had a high res JPEG left. Not quite what I'd hoped for, but it's what survived. The oldest desert on Earth. Namibia’s 📸 Canon 5D Mk III, Canon 14mm f/2.8

Watching a band competition in Omaha today, and I wanna ask if they will donate their star - would look better in my garden.

Is it just me, or does everyone have a friend that keeps encouraging you to make calendars on your photos and sell them Astro photo calendar by Tanja 🙄
