My father visited last night with his astrophotography kit and we took some pics of the sky š« He has a camera called a Seestar, it runs via an app and you set it up on a telescope, then choose which star/planet/nebula you want to look at and the camera locates it. Next it takes a series of long exposures and layers them on top of each other. The images captured were over a course of 13 and 43 minutes. I believe if you let it run much longer you can get more and more detail but it was pretty cold so we had to pack it in at some point! Here is the full image from the thumbnail M42 - Orion nebula IC434 - Horsehead nebula (if you look in the red band of space dust you can see an upside down tilted horse head) We also had a regular telescope out and sadly the aliens and spaceships were on stealth mode so I didn't manage to catch any :( https://x.com/juliakponsford/status/2036862290037727281 >>>>>>>>>>>>ā³ā± ÅÉ⦠ⱧĆā¦ÉÉ Visit my gallery on NFT Showroom Buy prints, shirts and other fun stuff: htt
