Last night from my observatory here on the Stoer Peninsula, I captured something that’s been on my imaging list for months: SH2-103, a lesser-known emission nebula in Cygnus. After 20 […]

Recently I pointed my William Optics FLT132 towards one of the northern sky’s most rewarding targets: M81, better known as Bode’s Galaxy. After capturing 26 frames at 120 seconds each […]

Here in the northwest Highlands, we’ve been keeping a close watch on something extraordinary: T Corona Borealis, a star system that’s been keeping astronomers on their toes for over a […]

Last night, while reviewing some images I captured earlier this year of the Leo Triplet, I made an unexpected discovery. Tucked away among the spiral galaxies was a small, moving […]

Last night, I reprocessed one of my favourite winter targets from earlier this year – NGC 2264, better known as the Christmas Tree Cluster and Cone Nebula complex. This stellar […]

Here’s a recent capture of one of the most recognizable deep-sky objects visible from the northern hemisphere: the Pleiades star cluster, also known as M45 or the Seven Sisters. This […]
