Deep Sky

In early 2024, after debating for a number of months, I pre-ordered a new smart telescope from Vaonis. It arrived in August and has introduced me to a whole new world of photography. This page will be updated dynamically with new observations. Update Nov 26, 2024 - I've added a number of southern hemisphere targets below which I was able to image during a recent trip to New Zealand! Update May 2025 - In preparation for an upcoming trip this August to Chile where I'll be spending 9 nights imaging almost 50 southern hemisphere targets, I now own three smart scopes and am working my way through the list of available targets here in Oregon. At the moment I'm just finishing up imaging all 110 Messier objects. I've also switched to the number one astrophotography editing software in the world, Pixinsight, which has totally transformed my editing. Most of my observations have now been re-edited, but a few more are still coming- stay tuned!
