Description

The Flaming Star and Tadpoles Nebulae family portrait, shot from the Skyglow Observatory in downtown Houston. This image took 2 weeks and 46 hours of exposure to capture, plus another few days to process all that data into what you see here. Astrophotography is definitely a labor of love.

Incidentally, you can probably spot some extreme sensor tilt on the right side of the image. As I've started to shoot with faster refractors it's becoming increasingly apparent, and something I'll have to address soon. I'm not looking forward to diagnosing and fixing this.
