Night Sky Highlights, Aug.-Nov. 2025 (Patreon Bonus Video, August 2025)
Added 2025-08-16 14:00:14 +0000 UTCFor the August 2025 Patreon bonus video, I cover some of the highlights of the night sky over the next few months for both hemispheres. The main focus is deep sky imaging, but I also check out the planets and a couple comets.

I shoot the Andromeda galaxy once a year in the fall to track my progress in capturing and processing it. Sometimes I think I'm stuck and not really progressing at all, then I re-shoot or reprocess something like that and it gives a much clearer perspective. Really excited to shoot the Rosette nebula this fall and I'll give the Dark Shark a go, didn't know about that till now, thanks and keep up the awesome work Nico!

2025-08-17 00:20:47 +0000 UTCThat sounds tough since you would be at f/10. If you can do at least 30” subexposures without star trailing, and you were centered on the brightest part of the nebula called the ‘Cygnus Wall’ I think it could work. An easier option in Cygnus with that telescope would be the Dumbbell Nebula (M27) since it’s significantly brighter and if you don’t have a modified camera, it still is very bright since it’s mostly green.

2025-08-16 15:25:18 +0000 UTCHey there Nico! Amazing video as always! I am also planning the Cygnus Wall in North American Nebula with my 6 inch SCT. Do you think it is possible to shoot it without guiding with 1500mm focal lenght? Thanks!
