I Enjoy Taking Long Exposure Photographs Of Deep Space Objects, Here Are 22 Of My Latest Images
My name is David and I spend every clear night out under the stars with my telescope taking long exposure photographs of deep space objects.
These are my latest images that I've captured. I think it is amazing what we can see from our own backyards even in highly polluted areas! Whenever the conditions are right, I take my gear outside to create new stills and then share them with others on my Instagram profile. You can also find more of my photographs in my previous post on Bored Panda.

M16 - The Eagle Nebula
Wow, this is terrific !! Pillars of creation in the middle is almost like Hubble image. Can you share information about integration time per filter (SHO) and your telescope? Thanks.
Ngc2359 - Thor's Helmet Nebula
Ngc4565 - The Needle Galaxy
Think for a moment. Galaxies have billions of stars. Those stars have Goldilocks zones, and some have planets in said zone. Those planets may host intelligent life. Anyone who thinks Earth is unique in the fact that it has life is selfish. We have proof that small bacteria used to live on Mars even!
Ngc 7380 - The Wizard Nebula
M51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy
M45 - The Pleiades
I love the Pleiades! Outer space and Ancient Greece are my two biggest special interests and I love how much Greek mythology ties into astronomy
Sh2-132 - The Lion Nebula
Ngc281 - The Pac-Man Nebula
M101 - The Pinwheel Galaxy
I’m correcting my previous comment, this just looks like A Galaxy
M109 - The Vacuum Cleaner Galaxy
Ic 405 - The Flaming Star Nebula
M1 - The Crab Nebula
M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula
How do we know for sure these aren't portals to some entirely different universe or dimension, we just cant access it yet?
M13 - The Hercules Cluster
Ngc2903
Ic410 And Ic417 - The Tadpoles Nebula And The Spider Nebula
Ngc4725 And Ngc4712
Jones-Emberson 1 (Pk 164+31.1) - The Headphone Nebula
Albireo - A Double Star
Ic5146 - The Cocoon Nebula
Ngc6888 - The Crescent Nebula
Ngc6946 - The Fireworks Galaxy
I used to enjoy the night sky until our local government introduced ultra bright white LED lights and installed MORE light units to replace the old sodium ones, the night sky has almost vanished in to a sea of light pollution......I hope that their own lights in their homes forever blow bulbs. David you work is amazing and is brilliant to see.
Amazing images, thanks for sharing. Do you have the original, high resolution versions? They would make for excellent desktop wallpapers.
David, how do you do the enhanced coloring? Your photos are just gorgeous. My husband has been doing this out in our front yard all summer.
Fun fact: in finnish, nebula is tähtisumu- literally "starfog"
Amazing images. Even tough I actually don't believe it's out there. I mean, living in a big city and being surrounded by light pollution, I can't remember when I have seen more than max 100 boring white stars in the sky. Would LOVE to see these in real life
Such amazing pictures... Thanks for sharing! Sometimes it is intimidating how small the earth and us humans really are in the universe...
Best post on bp, hope you post more images here. Amateur astronomy is underrated, and, as one myself, is the best hobby that could ever exist!
