Subject: Discover My Latest Astrophotography Creations 🌌

Hi from Karl at Astroimagery.com!


I'm so grateful you've become part of my astroimagery community!


I've recently returned from a long trip across to the other side of the world. I even visited my brother in Australia and revisited where I used to live when I was a child!


I took my camera and some lenses but did not manage to get any astrophotgraphy images this time. Seemed to be a bright moon and then just too much cloud around.


I'm planning to do some more astrophotgraphy tonight and next week now the moon is waning so stay in touch for more images coming soon.


I have been adding some new information-filled content on my website so be sure to check this out:


How to Use a Stargazing Forecast to Improve Your Astrophotography


I'm also writing about how to choose the best telescope for your needs and this will include my best telescope recommendations whether you're getting started or already an experienced user.


Meanwhile I'll leave my last image for you here:




This is M78 in the Orion constellation. This is a great and mysterious target for winter, and this is the first time I have imagined it! The result above was created from 7.6 hours of total exposure time; each photograph was six minutes long. I took it with an RGB filter and with my 130mm Celestron telescope on my equatorial mount, the CEM26 from Ioptron.


M78 is 1600 light years away, so what you see above is history from 1,600 years ago.


This is a reflection nebula.


What do you think of the image? I love to hear your thoughts, so get in contact.


I'll be back very soon with much more!


That's all for this week, stargazers!

Be back soon.


Clear skies to you all!

Karl Perera
