This is what happens when you try to image Saturn when it is too low in the sky and too close to a really bright Moon. Sometimes I post the not-so-good shots to show how much I still have to learn. #science #space #asi1600 #celestron #astrophotography #astronomy #saturn #planet #sct925

Sun on 5-21-16 with Active Region 2564. #astrophoto #astrophotography #astronomy #sun #sunspot #space #science #canon #70d #tamron #sol

So I heard you wanted to see some lunar craters. I hope this will suffice. #70d #canon #science #space #moon #luna #astronomy #astrophotography #astrophoto

Friday night' first quarter Moon. First light with the ASI 1600MC camera. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. #science #space #astronomy #astrophotography #moon #luna #asi1600 #at65edq #universetoday

Sometimes deer just want to pose for the camera. #deer #Georgia #berrycollege #canon #70D #tamron #tamronlens

Omega Centauri globular cluster. It's only visible for a few weeks in the spring here in Georgia. I was lucky to have clear skies last week to get to shoot it. It's a tough target because it never gets very high in the sky. #telescope #refractor #at65edq #canon #70d #space #stars #science #astronomy #astrophoto #astrophotography #universe #universetoday #cosmos #cluster #globularcluster #globular #omegacentauri

Beehive Cluster Defocused. This was an accidental shot but I like how it came out. Stars definitely come in a variety of colors! #cosmos #universe #science #space #astrophoto #astronomy #astrophotography #explorescientific #stars #canon #70d #102mm #refractor #telescope

This past Friday featured a nice pairing of the thin crescent Moon and the elusive planet Mercury. You can see Mercury here on the right just above the trees. #universetoday #astronomy #astrophoto #astrophotography #moon #luna #mercury #canon #50mm #space #planet #science #universe #cosmos

Finally got in some hydrogen alpha solar imaging. Processed image coming soon. #space #science #astronomy #lunt #asi120mc #zwo

Here is an annotated version of a shot I took of a section of the constellation Virgo. Almost all of the green circles is a different Galaxy. Spring is galaxy season and Virgo is full of them! #cosmos #universe #astronomy #astrophoto #astrophoto #70d #canon #galaxy #space #stars #oriontelescopes #celestron #at65edq #science

Three beautiful galaxies in the constellation Leo. Appropriately known as the Leo Triplet. #science #stars #space #galaxy #leo #constellation #astrophotography #at65edq #canon #70d #astrophoto #astronomy #universe #cosmos
