Last night produce: M16, aka the Eagle nebula, featuring the famous "Pillars of Creation" of Hubble legacy.
Not the greatest shot, as it was a bit windy and at >1.3m of focal length that's definitely not what you'd want.
But had to try taking advantage of a clear night with no moon, as the subject is low in the southern sky and hard to get in broadband when the moon is out

Wizards in the cosmic mist.
Added a second night of data to my Wizard nebula capture in H⍺+OIII, now slightly above 8.5 hours.
Guiding has not been great, and I probably oversharpened it a bit, but I'm not too displeased by the result.
Admittedly, the availability of the RC Astro toolset in Siril improved the quality of the obtainable results quite dramatically.

Full moon was out last night, so the only way to go for broadband #astrophotography was to select a target far from the moon's position in the sky.
After a while you start going for odd subjects just 'cause they fit the FOV at your focal length, and here is how I ended up on this space blob, which seems to also go by the name NGC 4605. 🤷‍♂️

M 16 again, after two nights of narrowband (H⍺+OIII) capture. From my location, where the horizon is very light polluted in all directions and M16 is always very low in the sky, I guess this is as far as I can go... #astrophotography ★ 4
