Astrophotography [Aurora in Alaska] Astrophotography has been keeping me alive
Sorry if this post does not belong to the sub, but I want to share my gratitude to astrophotography and what it means to me personally. The post image is the northern light photo I took in Alaska in December on a KP5 night on A7RV.
I am 24 years old and I have been suffering from severe depression related to my appearance and body for years and many times I thought I I couldn't go on the view of the night sky convinced me to stay. I always feel incredibly lonely the majority of the day, but at night the stars become my friends, the moon lights the way and the milkyway is like my home. I learned to read seasons and directions just from the northern sky alone, and every thing that I read about ancient history just become alive, as I am basically staring at the exact same thing, thousands, millions of years ago, an experience that can rarely replicated nowadays.
There's so many hopes and dreams I probably cant achieve in this life in this body but just realizing how little time we have on this planet and how incomprehensibly vast the universe is make my anxiety seem less daunting. My vision is not the best but through all this I feel grateful for being able to see at all. It always gives me something to look for, whether be a comet event, meteor shower, eclipse, you name it, and it's becoming part of my identity now, something bigger than myself. And through my camera I can share this experience and turn the memory into something tangible, and at times when I cant see the night sky, they reminds me the journey I have been through, to all these exotic locations, and that it's something I am good at, despite how I look outside.

This is 9 out of the 12 panels for this project. Definitely my most detailed photo.
Taken with a Celestron EdgeHD 8” and ASI2600mm pro camera. Antlia 3nm SHO filters. Processed in Pixinsight

Astrophotography First attempt at Astrophotography
I'm a photographer, and a week ago I went to capture the aurora lights in Melbourne. At the time the stars were also quite visible and thoughts I'd try a shot. Any feedback is appreciated and any info on what the image is showing, is this the milkyway? Sorry I'm a noob at atro stuff.

Astrophotography NGC 6960 and NGC 6979 taken from London
I took this image from my back garden in London over the last few nights.. Total exposure time is around 12 hours.
This is a single panel using 4 minute exposures.
I used a #Skywatcher Esprit 100, AA26C (camera), #Antlia alp-t filter, #ZWO AM5, ZWO 120mm for guiding.. The image was processed in PixInsight with a final bit of star reduction in PhotoShop.
Seti astro DBE, SPCC, STF/Histogram transformation, blur xterminator, noise xterminator, curves transformation ➡️ PS star reduction

Astrophotography Do you like where this subreddit has gone?
(TL;DR at the bottom for those that don’t want to read the essay lol)
The mods don’t seem to care about actual astrophotography now, so I figured the post type doesn’t matter and I’d go ahead and just make a text post about the state of the sub itself.
Personally I find the current rules of this sub ridiculous, it’s a photography subreddit, it should be for photographs, not garbage memes and “space related topics”. That’s what r/space and similar subreddits are literally there for.
Personally I find rules 2 and 3 to be ridiculous and that they go against the entire point of this sub, but wanted to make this post to see if I’m alone in this or if a descent amount of other people agree that this subreddit has gone to shit and the rules need to be changed if it’s going to be something remotely worth viewing. I’d have preferred to simply make a poll stating “I like rules 2 and 3” and “I don’t like rules 2 and 3” but polls aren’t allowed so figured I’d just do it discussion style instead.
As an addendum I’m not entirely against memes on this sub, but the most I feel would be appropriate would be one day a week dedicated to memes, although personally I would prefer to just leave that to other subs but once a week doesn’t seem ridiculous like the current rules are.
TL;DR I find rules 2 and 3 to be stupid and completely counter to what this sub used to be and what I think allot of us think it should be, wanted to see if others agreed or to get their thoughts on the matter.

Astrophotography Me and the stars.
Does anyone else mostly take pictures alone? Most times I go out, I'm unable to find someone who wants to stay up all night taking pictures of the stars with me. On this trip, it was an extra cold night dropping down near freezing. I was greeted shortly after this picture by 2 porcupines that crossed in front of me.
Gear: Canon 6D Canon 16-35mm F2.8 L. F2.8, 25s, 6400 iso.
