Wow, what a year.
I tried to branch out with imagery other than astro this year.
Traveled to some very cool places in the EU and Canada which made it hard to pick just 10. But here we go!
#1
Favorate of all images I took this year. Taken with my cell phone of all things, but it captured a very special/magical time and place visiting family in the Netherlands.
#2
The Holland Tulip Festival. So much eye candy to image in this magical place.
# 3
Another magical place. Yellow Knife in the Northwest Territories of Canada they said was about 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle
The Norther Lights did not disappoint. And # 3 is showing off the Big Dipper which I captured by accident
# 4
This one really catpured the memories of the Canadinan N Lights.
# 5
Fun with Bubbles
# 6
Back to Astro and one of my best images of a galaxy, this one is M81
# 7
Christmas Lights Magic
# 8
Just taken 11-18, Soooo many Stars.
# 9
SH2-221, is a record for me having the most data I have ever collected for an individual Astro image.
Captured here is (321) 5 min long frames (30 hrs+) stacked to bring out this very faint
super nova remnant
# 10.
Last but not least my Christmas image for 2025. Clear skies permitting, I always try to capture a deep space image over the holidays.
LDN1622 The Boogie Man Nebula (not a very Christmassy name) but was taken the night before Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve and Christmas night.
(This one has over 20 hours of 5 min subs)
Happy New Years to all my Focalworld friends!
Who knows what 2026 will bring!
