We have shared countless results of our free data from the Horsehead and Andromeda data sets... But we have so many scopes, maybe we should be giving out some more free data from all these different scopes? What scope do you want to see some us offer

The first mosaic on the CDK telescope system from @goodastronomy with an absolutely stunning view of the stars within the cost hanger nebula. This is a 3x1 mosaic and around 12 hours of exposure total. A stunning image, thank you for sharing Casey!

The Dragons in Ara by Deep Sky West's own, Lloyd Smith! A fantastic target that we constantly seem to be coming back to. It's just too good to take the telescope off of it! This is a wonderful narrowband image showcasing the unbelievable variation in

Absolutely mind bending image of the Trifid Nebula from @goodastronomy! The Trifid is known for its very unique shape and distinctive sections. It's rarely imaged on its own however due to its proximity to Messier 8. Casey was able to zoom right in i

Another amazing image taken from the southern skies, this time the Carina Nebula from @tolgaastro! The 17" scope is definitely no slouch when it comes to revealing fine details within this nebula or picking up some of that faint dust. Great imag

Absolutely amazing image from @rahulzota! Rahul downloaded our free M31 data and processed it himself to create this astounding view. Why limit yourself to just M31 or the Horsehead Nebula? Sign up for one of our systems and get access to literally a

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... Shrimp? That's right, this beloved nebula is known as the prawn nebula from our very own @goodastronomy. It's a stellar region overflowing with gasses and star formation. A great target, but one only really visibl

Fantastic work by @rahulzota! This was their work processing the free data offered from our observatory! What do you think? Have you tried processing our data yet? Let us know and send us your images! We love seeing them 🥰

Mind blowing image of Stephan's Quintet by @ben_b_allen! Made famous by the Hubble image, this insaley tiny cluster of 5 galaxies are all ripping each other apart. While we may not be able to achieve Hubble level details at our observatory in New Mex

Amazing! This image of the Andromeda Galaxy was made by 15 year old @hsyns_astro using our free data set online! Just goes to show that age is just a number in this hobby, great to see people from the younger generation joining in on the fun! Thanks

Will the Chile systems ever stop producing amazing images? I don't think so! This is a stunning view of the Carina Nebula from long time DSW user @goodastronomy! What a fantastic result, showing the true benefits of a pitch black sky and killer equip

Amazing image of the Cats Paw from @goodastronomy! Taken from our observatory in the Atacama Desert, this object doesn't get high enough in the sky to be imaged from New Mexico! Another great target suited for our southern hemisphere setup! What imag

Great image using our free data from @timhutchison66! This is our Andromeda set of data, but we also have the Horsehead! Visit the link in our bio to download both and see how you process it! Make sure to share it with us and we may share it on our p

Fantastic image using a combination of our own observatory and SSRO by Warren Keller. The luminance was from SSRO, RGB from DSW leading to an exceptionally sharp capture with vibrant colors. Thanks for sharing your image with us Warren!

Congratulations to Deep Sky West user @cosmic.speck for producing the very first amateur image of the C jet in Centaurus A! This is a jet being shot out by the galaxies black hole and wasn't discovered by scientists until 2017!

Whoa whoa whoa, hold the phones. Did y'all know we offer free data for you to download to create your own image out of? (hahaha, just kidding... 😂😂 Unless...? 🙈🙈🙈) Huge thanks to @astroimaging_by_johnnyb for sharing his own interpretation of the

Congratulations to Deep Sky West user @cosmic.speck on receiving Image of the Day for his image of the Dolphin Nebula! While this data may not be publicly available, we do have free data sets available through the link in our bio you can use to creat

$Fantastic image using our free data available to the public from @astroimaging_by_johnnyb! This is our Horsehead data set taken on our FSQ106 system, a crowd favorite. The clean and fast optics of the refractor lead to some stunning images! Thanks fo$

Congratulations to our very talented member @goodastronomy for receiving the Image of the Day for this image of Messier 78! Always brings a smile to us knowing that we have such amazing members creating breath taking images! What do you think, was it

Wow! Great image from @astrophotoross, who downloaded our free data and made this stunning image of Andromeda with it. Have you downloaded the data yet? If you ever need any help working with it to create an image, we are always here to help! Thanks
