It’s a golden era in amateur #astrophotography.
New discoveries by amateurs all the time, and these are pretty large things like this nebula that’s about the size of the Moon in the sky.

(This has been enabled by ever more sensitive sensors and ever more powerful computers to process the jigobytes of data involved with stacking images of faint objects.)
@thomasfuchs seems like OIII hasn’t been surveyed that much?
@sjancke OIII stuff is much, much fainter than Hydrogen alpha, so surveys would take an immense amount of time, at least for amateurs. And the pros are mostly concentrated on stuff that’s much further away (remote galaxies etc.) or tiny things like finding exoplanets.
@thomasfuchs any guides or sites to learn more about this process you like? Super interested into getting into this!
@HaveyDeckAstro I don’t think there’s a “best” one, but he’s definitely patient.
@thomasfuchs is Fray the best amateur astronomer of our time? Amazing stuff.
