The following are a selection of images I've taken from most recent to oldest. Currently, all planetary images are taken through a Celestron C6 using a Canon SL2 DSLR camera. Data is processed using aPIPP to process and convert the raw camera video, AutoStakkert to stack the video frames, Registax to sharpen the image using wavelets, Pixelmator to adjust color, contrast, etc, and finally Topaz DeNoise (in recent images) to help remove lingering noise. I'm currently processing all data on a 2016 12" Macbook with PIPP, AutoStakkert, and Registax (which are PC programs) running on the Mac using WineBottler.

Turning the Great Orion Nebula into a Heart for Valentine’s Day

While visiting my wife’s parents I decided to do a little astrophotography with my iPhone XR and Televue Ranger refractor. By chance, I discovered that if I over exposed the images of the Orion Nebula it would look heart-shaped. So, I decided to creat a time lapse video of the nebula using the night cap application on my phone. You can see the result in the video below. https://youtu.be/anyRSCN57ds
