This channel is about astrophotography from the capitol of Norway, Oslo. Living with a full-time job, girlfriend and our two dogs makes little room to travel to darker places for my hobby. Hopefully I can inspire others to do some more photography from their homes, and also be helpful answering questions for those who have any.
From my start I have learned a lot of other youtubers, and it would be awesome if someone find my videos helpful and inspiring to keep looking up in the sky.

Finally back in our appartment after some renovation work done on our bathroom. 1 year older and guess what - I bought myself an upgrade to my old PC.
If you are interested in PC-builds I'll be making a video with before and after benchmarks etc, and why I choose the components I did. THis PC is made for editing, gaming and the future :)

Since our appartement is currently under rehab(bathroom renovation) I have had no chance to do some astrophotography for a while. We are currently renting a basement apartement closer to the city, so all my gear is back home.
But, in the end of april I'll be back!
Currently working on some tips and reviews videos and would love to hear what you would be most interested in!

From Oslo, Norway to the stars!
IC 1848 - Soul nebula, finally I got to image this nice object.
Hope everybody is having a great weekend and I just want to thank all of you for subscribing and the great feedback you guys give me! Always looking to improve and help others, but I also have a long way to go before producing images like the great astrophotographers we probably follow together :)

This is where we celebrated new years weekend since Kinay is so afraid of fireworks. Was hoping for clear weather as this is a really remote area compared to Oslo :) But stay tuned for my first video of the year and see how it went. Until then, Happy New year and all the best for 2023!

I was kinda hoping I had some immunity to this virus, but on tuesday i got sick and tested positive. Feels like a hard flu, and my plans for uploading and making videos went trough the drain. But hopefully it will be over soon!
Have you been struck by this virus yet?

Hi folks!
This is the Wizard nebula, or the NGC 7380.
This cool nebula is roughly 8500 lightyears away from Earth.
This image is 15h in totalt divided in Ha, Sii and Oiii with 5h of each filters. The plan was to do RGB filters for natural star color, but since the weather have been so bad, I just wanted to process it!
Would you like to see a video of my step-by-step processing, or maybe a live stream where you could process is the same time?
Clear skies, I'm sure there will be some here as well in the future at least :)
