For the spooky season, I'll feature a Hallowtober deep-space object each week. Week two: Casper the Friendly Ghost Nebula. Its nebulosity consists of blue reflection (eyes), dark dust (face/shading), and red Hα emission. #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

The Dolphin Head Nebula is bubble-shaped and encompasses a Wolf–Rayet star. These stars are extremely large, hot, and bright. It's in a pre-supernova phase. 🤩 High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/kxi6j7 #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

I captured the Lobsterclaw and Bubble nebulae using specialized filters to render them in the Hubble (SHO) palette. The wonderful colors are akin to those of the infamous space telescope. Thanks, NASA! 🤩 #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

People often ask which telescope I use for astrophotography. So I thought I'd share a bit about my gear. I have a wide-field refractor and a Schmidt–Cassegrain. In a future post, I will also share my underwater camera rig. #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #eck #photography
