I’m Naz (Nazmus Nasir), an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer based in the bright skies of Boston (Bortle 7/8). I’ve been capturing the cosmos since 2012, and my goal with Naztronomy is to share every lesson, mistake, and breakthrough I have along the way.

Clear skies!

This is a similar project to our last Carina Nebula project but also a bit different because we're using different panels. NGC 3324 (Gabriela Mistral/Cosmic Cliffs) is the centerpiece here and we added a panel on the right to show the Gem Cluster (NGC 3293) and associated nebulosity. There's also less of the Carina Nebula here.

I also recently updated my website so I can highlight individual images a bit better: www.naztronomy.com/gallery/image/870/personal_pan_…

This was done in collaboration wtih my friends Dave and Chris at the Kagga Kamma Remote Observatory (KKRO).

Printed a bunch of photos to give away after my talk today at the ‪@museumofscience‬ at 3 pm today. Hard to try but how many objects do you recognize?

The price of the S30 Pro is increasing by $100 on May 1st. Not great but if you're still on the fence about getting it, you still have 9 days before the price increase. Consider using one of my referral links for the purchase:
