I’m Naz (Nazmus Nasir), an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer based in the bright skies of Boston (Bortle 7/8). I’ve been capturing the cosmos since 2012, and my goal with Naztronomy is to share every lesson, mistake, and breakthrough I have along the way.

Clear skies!

This is the Centaurus A galaxy, a very active galaxy imaged from our remote telescope at the Kagga Kamma Remote Observatory in South Africa. See the full res on astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/0gzm6g

This is just 90 mins of integration with my new ToupTek ATR2600M Mono kit. The full res version shows the Soap Bubble nebula from just 40 mins worth of O3. See the full res on astrobin and watch the video if you haven't yet: app.astrobin.com/i/3rjq6t

The Naztronomy OSC PP v2.0.3 was merged into Siril earlier today. No new video because the beta testing demo is still relevant (minus installing the script manually).

This is a giant 14 panel mosaic. We left it uncropped to give it the old Hubble image feeling. This was both easy and really hard to process. Star removal does not work well here. But stretching and getting things to look kinda nice was easy.
Just as with our other images, I highly recommend seeing this on Astrobin for full res goodness: app.astrobin.com/i/39ql34

Zoom in to 1x and scroll around!
