My only astro image while in Egypt (ok thats a stretch) But it was a rare opprotunity though to see the moon from this perspective of location. Most all of the rest of my middle east travel pic's will be in the travalog section Enjoy and all comments are welcome! PS, Glad to be home!

Some cellphone camera trickery taken today

Welp We didn't expect any of this turmoil to develop while we were traveling in the Middle East, but so far, we are told Egypt is safe, We feel safe and we are watched over very closely. U.S. Embassy in Cairo is keeping us updated on the situation, and we will follow their directions without...

More to follow. To see these artifacts at night was magical, taken with my cell phone. People removed was the only edit.

Just a quick cellphone capture of rural Egypt, as taken from our river cruise on the Nile River, note the banana trees in the background.

So on this trip, we got to experiance what the tour comapany calls, "a day in the life of an Egyptian". We did the same in Jordan, but they were more considered a middle class family. The Egyption family we visited was located in a small farming village near Luxor. Quite a humbuling...

I captured this pretty and friendly little Girl in the back roads of Luxor

A few cell phone shots to show you what's coming later. Week wifi on the boat, would only load 2 shots Such huge columns

From my hotel room balcony taken with my cell phone Plus it's the 1st day of Ramadan, see the crescent moon?

What a wonderful view of blue skys and palm trees

Taken with my cell phone with very little editing. Hundreds of camera pictures to be developed. We visited the oldest burial place (5,000 years old) where we got to enter the pyramid tomb and a smaller tomb. More to follow... My DSLR will have better-framed pics. The last image is the tomb which...

So for future reference, I posted some images today where I used a phone editing tool to remove people as it was so crowded, almost all pics were photo bombed. Am I cheating? After I get home in a couple weeks, I will have 100's of photos to process and post, but I want people to also know...

Taken with my cell phone, no editing A day in the life of a camel in Petra

A few cell phone shots, more to show from my dslr camera, once i get home and process but heres a taste of what i saw. I was completely over whelmed here. Every 10 steps, something new to image. FYI, I used a ai tool to remove people as these sites were crowded

So I put out some bird seed to hopefully capture some winged friends when this guy showed up Canon R8 with the 100 x 400 stm lense at 400mm f8 Since taking this image, I started using the manual settings of 1 over my FL. This image was at iso 8000 as it was in a shady spot All comments welcome...

Also called the Eye of God nebula. Reprocessed my original data taken 9/14/25 using the new the new stretching tool, Multi Adaptive Stretch and (new to me) Narrow Band Normalization script in PixInSight I think it came out crisper and cleaner. Thoughts?

NGC 2244 (also known as Caldwell 50 or the Satellite Cluster) is an open cluster in the Rosette Nebula, which is located in the constellation Monoceros. This cluster has several O-type stars, super hot stars that generate large amounts of radiation and stellar wind. The age of this cluster has...

I got an email from Canon with an offer to precision align my R8 to any lens I choose, (or multiple lenses) At a kinda hefty fee of course. My question is, has anyone done this, what are the benifits? Is it really needed etc. Thx Ed

So I added 100 more light frames from last night totaling right at 23 hours of integration. Plus I incorperated some cropping recommendations I received I think im done! All comments are welcome!
