Starship Asterisk*

Unceasing struggle of red, blue, and dust for the heart of Cygnus The Heart of the Cygnus - with the North America, Pelican, Butterfly, Propeller, Crescent, and dozens of other objects - an unending symphony of hydrogen reds blended with the blue of oxygen, delicately veiled by clouds of dust and s...

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) Comet visiting Auriga It hid under the clouds for a long time, and when it cleared up, she hid in the moonlight, finally managed to catch this one hour of the dark, cloudless sky - and is - in the beautiful company of hydrogen beauties from Auriga. The frame was taken with Samyang 13...

From Zeta to Rho Ophiuchi As the Rho Ophiuchi is a well known celebrity itself in the sky I'm most impressed with the complexity of the Zeta Ophiuchi nebula (Sh2-27) which I thought to be just a powerful field of ionized red-glowing hydrogen only, and it turned out to be an interesting festival of ...

Rho Ophiuchi Rho Ophiuchi region - in my opinion, one of the most beautiful objects in our sky - there is almost everything here, dust lit by various stars, hydrogen nebulae, and bright globular clusters. It's hard to find more beautiful object for DSLR astrophotography. The frame was taken with Sa...

Hyades Hyades - one of the largest open clusters in our sky, creating a characteristic pattern with the guest star Aldebaran. The whole thing is slightly obscured by dust clouds in Taurus, which, by scattering the light of the surrounding stars, make up a fantastic composition, big enough to become...

Trapped into Barnard's Loop Orion - is a constellation that never gets boring and it is probably the most anticipated area of the winter sky. An astrophotographer and a visual stargazer will be tempted to do so... I do not remember how many times I have stayed most of autumn stargazing night longer...

The dark dusts of Taurus subtly iluminated by stars A typical astrophotographic fall-winter classic - the California Nebula, Pleiades and countless amounts of dust on the border of the constellations of Taurus and Perseus, subtly illuminated by bright stars, with the super-bright Aldebaran just beh...

Milky Way's sisters surfing the IFN I dreamed about this frame for a long time - the two closest to us spiral galaxies - M31 and M33 in a wide field. I have already approached this frame many times, this time from the Bieszczady Mountains and finally successful - I mainly cared about this background...

MILKY IN THE DUST About 4 years ago I've incidentaly took a picture of Lyra region which drived to the verifying if the dust I got on a picture is really present there. This drove me to this mosaic which is a result of i.a 30-35h of imaging time during three years and about a year of trying to find ...

Thanks Ann for your comment. I'm glad you like the picture

Dusty Perseus and Taurus, please find my quite aggressive approach to dusty region between Taurus & Perseus. The picture was taken at the last day of August in southwestern Poland. It's a combination of 60x120s expositions taken with modded Nikon D610, Samyang 135 and aggresive processing for re...

Compilation of different moments collected during many observation nights during last 12 months.
The sky quality is quite average (as in any town crowded locations), timelapse technique is far from perfection, but I hope you can feel the ambience of night observations.
