#dwarf3

So happy to have captured this — my best astro photo to date. This is, of course, the Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor at a stone’s throw of 2.5 million light years away. You can also see M110 and M32, its two brightest satellite galaxies (out of a whopping 35 dwarf galaxies orbiting around it). Shot with a Dwarf 3 telescope under a starry Idaho night sky, which was stunning even with the naked eye. #photography #astronomy #astrophotography #galaxy #andromeda #dwarf3

Hi folks, as promised, here's one of my first attempts at the Mosaic stacking using the dwarf 3 telescope. I'm not entirely happy with the way that it has turned out, but as a learning process and to give you a look at how things are going I thought I would let you have a look. I think this could use some reprocessing and I'd like to tinker with it a bit more. Maybe it's one to get some other of my mates with Dwarf3 to do a star party collab with. But as it is - not unattractive and gives me a feel for how it works. So what we're looking at here is a good wide view at least in terms of how the dwarf 3 does it of the Rho Ophiuchi neighborhood and the nebulas hanging around there. #Astrophotography #BackyardAstrophotography #SouthernHemisphereAstronomy #SmartTelescope #Dwarf3 #Nebula #Astrodon

Southern Pinwheel Galaxy aka NGC300 or Caldwell C70. Shot from my garden last night. #Dwarf3 #astrophotography

Cold and crisp, and long winter solstice time nights have made for great observation times here in #PerthWesternAustralia . So now that it's come over all cloudy and rainy it's time to do some processing. I have been catching a couple of snippets of things at the end of a longer project, and this is one of them. The Lagoon Nebula says hi! Just 55 minutes. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #SouthernHemisphereAstronomy #SmartTelescope #Dwarf3 #DrivewayAstrophotography #BackyardAstronomy #Nebula #LagoonNebula #Astrodon
