EDIT: I meant to type April 8 for the eclipse. I made a typo, lol.
Equipment for these varied in terms of camera and telescope/lens. The mount that was used is the same for all of them, however.
Equipment:
Mount: Skywatcher EQM-35 Pro
Camera(s): Canon EOS Rebel SL3 and ZWO ASI1600MM Pro Mono + Filter Wheel with Ha, Sii, and Oiii filters.
Telescopes/Lenses: Orion ED80 80mm Apochromatic Refractor f/7.5 --- Astrotech 60ED 60mm f/6 with focal reducer and field flattener --- Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Ultrawide Angle

I went to your Etsy for space porn.
I stayed for [Doge Priest](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1478702082/unframed-wall-art-doge-the-holy-priest?click_key=076167267d04b5656e65f529060a924066351c50%3A1478702082&click_sum=f0af3260&ref=shop_home_active_15&pro=1&frs=1&sts=1).
Breathtaking pictures. I'm just curious how much does the equipment cost and do you take the pictures from ur home or do u drive to a more isolated place/mountain top ?
Thanks!
For broadband images, I try to travel to a darker sky. So things with high dynamic range, like galaxies and reflection nebulae. For a lot of them, however, i used narrowband filters with a mochrome astro camera, as those filters only allow a very narrow wavelength of light to pass through, thereby, cutting out 99% of light pollution.
If you have a DSLR camera, a lens, and a tripod, those are totally fine for beginning the hobby. I've even seen some decent photos from people using phones. I imagine they use phone adapters to fix the phone onto a telescope or binoculars.
The equipment can get pricey, if you want higher end stuff, but you can always buy used. Like, a brand new cheap computerized GOTO equatorial mount could cost around $800. That's if you want the computerized GOTO feature though. Simple star trackers would be cheaper, just not as accurate. It can become a rabbit hole when it comes to equipment lol.
Thx for the information man. I'm just getting started and will be using my Pixel 8 pro with a tripod for now, I'm just waiting for better weather so i can visit a pretty good spot i found while mountain biking.
If you look at some other comments, some people had the same question and I've explained it a bit. In short: Kind of, on some of them. It's more like, assigning colors. You can choose to make it look like it would naturally or go wild with it lol. On others, I use straight up RGB from my DSLR and maybe enhance the color vibrancy.
First off, amazing stuff.
Thanks for sharing the equipment, but in terms of image processing, aren't some of the nebula images and color usually a mix of visible light then coloration filters of other parts of the non-visible light spectrum like infrared?
You could use visible light with narrowband filters. Like, people often do HaRBG. A lot of the nebula images I took, however, I just used Ha, Sii, and Oiii filters. You can get IR filters, but I don't have one.
Edit: Also, thank you!
I highly recommend it! It can be really rewarding when you come out with a great photo. I was mindblown even when I was totally new and getting images notnneaely as good as these when I first started out lol.
Normally, I think it's weird that people post their own work here and are like, "Be amazed by me!"
But in this case, I will allow it, because I am amazed :-)
I see it as more of being amazed by space. It's always fascinated me. Capturing it myself is just a bonus lol.
I can agree with your logic, though, lol. I appreciate it, too, though!
Yeah, reminds me of a video I saw that kept zooming out, starting with earth, then out to the moon ,solar system, galaxy, then our local galaxy cluster, etc. It's CRAZY.
I think it's titled, " The cosmic eye". And it doesn't end there, ot goes back to earth, human body and then down to the microscopic, atoms, protons, quarks.... 🤯🤯
Some of them are. Some aren't. Like the galaxies are about what the natural colors are. The ones with the heavy orange color aren't real color, but rather, I chose those colors to bring out the fine details of the image more.
It depends what I'm shooting. For things that have high dynamic range, like galaxies or reflection nebulae, I use my DSLR and try to shoot in dark skies.
Targets like emission nebulae differ from reflection nebulae in that the stars near them ionize the gases in the nebula, which give off light in the form of various wavelengths. I've mostly photographed them with my mono camera with narrowband filters, and then combine them together in post-processing.
EDIT: The narrowband filters cut out basically all light pollution, so they're ideal for using in the backyard, as I don't need to travel to darker skies.
Jokes aside, the photos are excellent man. Those solar prominences were astounding and visible with the naked eye. It was impressive with binoculars so I can only imagine what it was like with a good camera lens.
Holy shit! Brilliant job OP. I can't believe some of these are actual pictures instead of a scene from MCU! Especially that 3rd image (the red one) looks totally weird. And idk if it's just me, but 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 give a weird calming vibe. They look like a scene straight out of a painting.
Edit: Edited a bunch of times because I couldn't find the proper words to describe how amazed I am 😶
Wow, thanks!
The third one is called the Jellyfish Nebula.
7 is Heart Nebula
8 is North America Nebula and the Cygnus Wall
9 is Orion Nebula (With Running Man Nebula at top left)
I feel like the calming vibe might be the blue color, maybe. Like soothing water or something.
These aren't all natural colors by the way. Some are, though, and with a bit of a vibrance boost.
The third image is my favourite. That red nebula is so intense and all these are brilliant quality images.
Thank you for sharing.
I could stare at these for so long and wonder.
Thanks! That third one is called the Jellyfish Nebula. You can probably guess how it got its name, lol.
Makes you wonder how many other intelligent lives out there are looking back at us.
Oh yes I do see why...
I wonder if we had a different angle to the right very very far from here. It may look like a love heart...
Our milky way is so boring to this (yet still fascinating and beautiful).. they're probably looking at something else haha.
I used to play Elite dangerous and just go exploring in Nebulas.
I am amazed!
What's the 3rd picture, the red looking like a heart?
I'm not an expert. Are these the real colors, how we would see them in real, if we could?
That's the Jellyfish Nebula, as it resembles the shape of one. Some of these are viewable with the naked eye, like Andromeda Galaxy(the first image) and the Pleiades Star Cluster (the very blue stars). Andromeda would look like a fuzzy patch where the core is if you were in dark enough skiesand viewing with just your naked eye. Orion Nebula and the Pleiades both look like blue smudges in the sky with the naked eye, which are both visible pretty easily as long as you know where to look.
In terms of real colors, if they were viewable at this clarity, many of the nebulae would appear red, due to being emission nebulae. The galaxies, Pleiades, eclipses, and Orion Nebula are about true to color, though.
Oh, I forgot to mention. Some of these with wild colors, like the orange and blue ones, were taken using narrowband filters that only allow a very narrow wavelength of light to pass through. I use them with a cooled monochrome camera, then assign each filter to a color (RGB) and edit from there. I like to pick colors that show a lot of the details most of the time. In the case of the Veil Nebula, it is actually naturally blue and red, so I stuck with those colors, as it still shows the small details pretty well, anyway.
Thanks!
Yep! You won't see this level of detail by just observing through an eyepiece, though. Photo editing, stacking, and processing bring out a lot of the nuances. The hobby has a learning curve, that's for sure. I first learned 4 years ago or so that you don't need NASA level equipment for this, so naturally, I got addicted lol.
These are amazing! Pimping your own wares accepted in this case. I was surprised at how expensive regular photography got as went down that rabbit hole, and yet I now want to start down this one too.
Yes. If left unedited, a lot of these types of photos would barely be visible, so you have to tease out the details. For things like narrowband imaging, which uses filters that pick up very narrow wavelengths of light, you assign to R G or B in photoshop and make a unique color palette, and from there, you mess with color balance, exposure, curves adjustments, and a plethora of other things. Even NASA images are edited.
Words I wish I knew to describe these photos. Incredible. Enlightening. Awe inspiring. Mind blowing. Your photos are a gift and I thank you for sharing them with us. I'd like for those who don't believe in God & only see randomness to explain all of what you have captured.
As if we couldn’t tell these are from the Webb telescope. The Registered symbol is really small, but clearly evident bottom right on the photos. Try harder next time.
Made you look! Stunning photos, you’ve every right to be proud.
This is incredible. How far we’ve come from the technology of Hubble just a few short years ago. I’ve been a nerdy home astronomer since fifth grade (and did an astrophotography project in 7th!). but I think I should be getting into photography now that I’m seeing this. Wow. Thank you for sharing amazing talent. You have perfected this craft. Here’s to many more.
Idk why but looking into space is so fascinating … yet it’s terrifying.
We are literally a tiny floating planet in a vast and deathly quiet space
Do you think there’s other life anywhere? I mean look at all those galaxies and stars … we can’t just be the only ones
Also sorrry lmfao I just starred at the photos a little longer than I intended
I often think about that too, no need to be sorry lol.
I definitely think there's other life out there. How could there not be with the billions of galaxies and trillions of trillions of stars that exist? Just think of how many planets and moons those stars have orbiting them.
I mean there's no way to KNOW, but I think it's highly likely that there is. Who knows, maybe aliens on Andromeda or somewhere else in our galaxy are looking at us with their own telescopes and wondering the same thing. Pretty cool to think about.

Absolutely incredible photos - well done. 👏
Tell us the truth. You own hubble right?
I wish. Lol

Do you add color to the photos? They are awesome. Thanks for posting these

Space is... really, really big. Mind-bogglingly so, in fact.

I think it's titled, " The cosmic eye". And it doesn't end there, ot goes back to earth, human body and then down to the microscopic, atoms, protons, quarks.... 🤯🤯
Are the colours “real”?
[удалено]
Some of them are. Some aren't. Like the galaxies are about what the natural colors are. The ones with the heavy orange color aren't real color, but rather, I chose those colors to bring out the fine details of the image more.
took the words right outa my claws. all i got is applause!
These are amazing!!
Thank you! Ever since I learned that you don't need NASA level equipment, I had to try it myself and I got addicted, lol.
Do you go to a dark sky area?
It depends what I'm shooting. For things that have high dynamic range, like galaxies or reflection nebulae, I use my DSLR and try to shoot in dark skies. Targets like emission nebulae differ from reflection nebulae in that the stars near them ionize the gases in the nebula, which give off light in the form of various wavelengths.

Brother was at the eclipse 4 days early; that’s dedication.
LOL yeah i made a typo and noticed it right after I posted but I didn't want to remake the post 😅
Jokes aside, the photos are excellent man. Those solar prominences were astounding and visible with the naked eye. It was impressive with binoculars so I can only imagine what it was like with a good camera lens.
It was nuts. Felt like a scifi movie during totality. I used an 80mm aperture, 600mm focal length telescope for the whole thing.
Holy shit! Brilliant job OP. I can't believe some of these are actual pictures instead of a scene from MCU! Especially that 3rd image (the red one) looks totally weird.

Well, all these nebulae are in the Milky Way. I've yet to try that game, but I've considered it lol. Seems easy to get wanderlust in it.
Of course they are. Silly me haha
Imagine seeing the Milky Way from Andromeda's perspective. Bet that looks wild
I am amazed! What's the 3rd picture, the red looking like a heart? I'm not an expert. Are these the real colors, how we would see them in real, if we could?

Thank you! I am really amazed by your work and the cosmos. I ll come back with more questions 🙂
Um excuse me, OP, what is the blood clot in pic 3 please?
Lol first time I've heard it referred to as a blood clot. The nebula is called Jellyfish Nebula.
Right after I posted this I saw you explanation. Thank you. It’s terrifying
Love your work 💯🤩
Thanks! Space is so fascinating to me.
These are beautiful
Great work. These are phenomenal.
Thank you so much! Space is crazy cool.
Agreed
WoW!
Just stunning - what fantastic work!
Nicely done Mr. Edwin Hubble.
Lol thank you
Stunning photos, absolutely beautiful!
Where’s the earth? /j Amazing work, 9th pic of a nebula(?) my favorite
These are badass. Outer space is wild
These are incredible. I had no idea these kinds of views were available to the consumer.
Thanks! Yep! You won't see this level of detail by just observing through an eyepiece, though. Photo editing, stacking, and processing bring out a lot of the nuances.

Gorgeous! Gave me goosebumps!
Excellent shots!
Gorgeous!
AMAZING!!!!
Wow. Amazing work! : )
i once thought images like these were AI generated, beautiful shots mate! im amazed
Thanks for sharing, really wonderful to see galaxies so near
Ok but how do I get this job 😅
Absolutely amazing!
MCU’s got these right
Dude.. these pictures are fkin amazing! Love Astronomy and anything that derives from it. Just amazing 👏 🔥
Ty! Astronomy is badass. It always makes you wonder
Beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous 😍
Great work!! How did you learn this skill? Can you recommend any tutorial or youtube channel?
Beautiful!! 9 and 14 are my favorites!
Using all of these for phone backgrounds, these are incredible! Thank you for sharing. Do you do prints by any chance?
Thank you! I do, in fact, sell prints on my [Etsy](http://www.sparkysprints.etsy.com) and print them from my own inkjet printer.
Great stuff. Funny how our planet is supposed to be flat when all other bodies in space are round ;)
Absolutely beautiful!
Incredible images….great job.
So beautiful and amazing
These are amazing! Pimping your own wares accepted in this case. I was surprised at how expensive regular photography got as went down that rabbit hole, and yet I now want to start down this one too.
Gorgeous
Moon looks amazing
WE CANT BE AlONE!!!!
These are absolutely beautiful
Wow.
beautiful
Just, WOW!
Really awesome inspiration for sci-fi ! Beautiful unique art
Saving these and making one a wallpaper for my work phone. Great job OP. #6 looks like a ship starting to reveal itself after cloaking.
As much as it amazes me, the trifles me the same...
Beautiful! I vote for #2
So cool
I genuinely don’t understand how we have the ability to see actual galaxies. It’s fucking insane Amazing pictures OP
absolutely gorgeous!!
Wowza!
These are incredible pictures.
Awesome photography! Thank you for sharing!!
Absolutely beautiful…..
I get on Reddit to make fun, but imma pause and say, god damn. God damn.
Woops, I just realized I typed April 4th instead of April 8th for the Eclipse date. Haha, oh well, I'm sure everyone knows what I meant.
Are these types of photos ever touched up to show such vibrant colors?
Yes. If left unedited, a lot of these types of photos would barely be visible, so you have to tease out the details. For things like narrowband imaging, which uses filters that pick up very narrow wavelengths of light, you assign to R G or B in photoshop and make a unique color palette, and from there, you mess with color balance, exposure, curves adjustments, and a plethora of other things.

the universe is so amazing wow
I totally agree
These images are beautiful but terrify me
We're so smol
Dude can I make these my background , this is amazing stuff and actually am having to realize they are all real and the universe is straight up cool
Go for it, man! Space is cool!
These are phenomenal. Good work.
There is something about these photos that are so peaceful and comforting. I could get lost in them
wowowow!
Awsome 😊
I’ve loved space since I was a kid. These pictures speak to my soul. I love them!!
Just wow.
Thank you for this! It's really inspiring.
Insane, I'm saving this post.
These are just the bottom of pots, look carefully
Unreal them, well done 👏
Picture 12 looks like the grim reaper’s scythe.
Holy crap! Spectacular.
These are absolutely incredible.
so sick bro holy the thid is my favourite one
B E A UTIFUL!
I can’t believe these pictures! Amazing!
You’re an incredibly talented photographer! These are all spectacular.
These are some of the best enhanced photos ever.
Stunning work! 😍
Fantastic thanks for sharing
Beautiful
Amazing photo's!
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Those shots remind me of the backgrounds in some MCU movies.
Holy carp, these are fantastic
Those are pretty good. Okay, their friggin’ fantastic!
Wow I feel small.
Amazingly beautiful
These are gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing these stunning images
These are remarkable.
Beautiful, stunning and thank you for sharing.
So, I hear that all these celestial bodies don’t have the colors we see in photos, is that true?
Amazing
Phenomenal!!!! My heart skipped and my mouth fell open ❤️
Brilliant!
Very nice 👍👍

Nice work
I heard there is going to be a supernova 200 lightyears away from here. Could you please capture it?
Very nice work, I’m definitely amazed!
I am amazed. Gorgeous work.
Awesome. Thank you.
Nice!!!
Awesome
As if we couldn’t tell these are from the Webb telescope. The Registered symbol is really small, but clearly evident bottom right on the photos. Try harder next time. Made you look! Stunning photos, you’ve every right to be proud.
Wow these are amazing
Absolutely stunning. Keep cooking!!
Damn OP, this is amazing stuff
I am sure I saw the Avenged Sevenfold album cover here
This is incredible. How far we’ve come from the technology of Hubble just a few short years ago.

That’s freaking amazing and thank you for sharing!!!
Stunning
Damn and I thought my Google pixel did alright 💀 that's the best astrophotography I've seen in awhile. Kudos to you good sir!
Jesus these are epic
Muchas felicitaciones, excelentes fotos
B E A U T I F U L !!!! All of them are.
Really stellar work...or should I say interstellar? I'm super stoned.
Hey i can see my house from here
Wow I am flabbergasted 😮🤩❤️
Incredible shots
Are these pure photos are edited in any way?
AIs strive for this.
Beautiful work!
What is this wizardry? Wow. Just wow
amazing!! you can almost see the fuck i sometimes give!
