12 hours of broadband OSC integration on the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula (IC 1396) captured from Mars Hill, NC using the Askar FMA180 Pro and PixInsight.

36 hours of total exposure across 4 clear nights in Mars Hill, NC reveal the intricate narrowband gas structures of IC 5146.

Over three clear nights in Mars Hill, NC, I set my sights on NGC 7538 for the very first time. After overcoming a meridian flip hiccup on night one, I captured 10 hours of narrowband integration—revealing the dramatic, glowing structures of this active stellar nursery.

A three-night journey across two skies capturing the Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146) and the expansive dark dust lane of Barnard 168.

Captured over three windy but beautiful nights at the 2026 Winter Star Party in the Florida Keys, this Seagull Nebula image reflects both the magic of the southern skies and a week shared with old and new friends alike.

Captured during the Winter Solstice event at Big Cypress National Park, this image of M45—the Pleiades, was created from 75 two-minute exposures using a fast f/3.6 imaging setup. More than 2,450 attendees shared the night as live-stacked images revealed this iconic star cluster in real time, blending public outreach with a deep-space target that first sparked my astrophotography journey nearly 20 years ago.

The Soul Nebula sits about 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia, paired with its more famous neighbor, the Heart Nebula.
