My Celestron NexStar Evolution 6 is finally back home after a long repair journey. Main board replaced, fully functional again. Huge thanks to my Seestar S50 & S30 for keeping me imaging.
Clear skies! 🌙🔭✨

Next part of #aurora photos. Never thought I'd get to witness such a spectacle here. When the IPA (isolated proton aurora) visible in image 2 & 4 took off.... Wow. Words can't describe it. Images are in chronological order, panoramas of 8-12 images shot within 3-8 minutes beginning 21:30 UTC.
If you want to see a video of it: Someone near Stuttgart filmed that bright green burst visible in my last pic in *real time*: https://youtu.be/e19kAuC-6eU

Next bunch of Jan19 #aurora pictures for #FotoMontag: I would have gone home a happy bunny just getting images like the first one. The shock front of CMEs rarely causes the most visually stunning parts of a storm (especially down here in Central Europe). But then the sky cracked like an egg and became a silent concert of color and movement.

I was happy last night, I managed to guide for the first time with the big gun... For a whole 20 minutes before the clouds came in 🥹

The Arizona landscape at night in black and white. I love that the stars and the land are visible.

Another shot from that first night sky photography attempt in Arizona. The Milky Way is obvious in this one, and I love that I got this opportunity to see it and capture it.

Yet another processing of the same data from last Christmas, with a dedicated lucky-imaging software this time (Autostakkert, on Linux with Wine). Yeah it gets more details than my naive try :)
This is another picture I took in my last trip, but I had not published until now because I've spent the last couple of weeks processing it to get it to a point I was somewhat happy with.
Even when it's not perfect this is my best capture of the Orion and Running Man Nebulae so far, and while there's room for improvement, there's many things I love about it. #astrophotography

Look, it's not much, but I'm quite happy with the level of detail I was able to pull out from this mush of pixels 😅
From data collected last Christmas.
