Congrats to my friend Patrick Hsieh!

Post by AstroBee »


My astronomy friend Patrick Hsieh, https://www.astrobin.com/users/FlankerOneTwo/, just won a NASA APOD today so I thought I'd share the love here.
Anyway, I was out with him on his first night of gathering data for this image so it is kinda cool to have been there at the birth of this amazing image.
I have a tight little group of 5 guys that I do astro imaging with and three of them have been competing to see who would get one first.

A while back when I shot Thor's Helmet, you may remember me posting a version that he processed for me. https://www.theskysearchers.com/viewtop ... et#p137317
This guy is almost singlehandedly responsible for my improvement in astro imaging in the past year.
