This is my current view of the Horsehead Nebula with the S30 Pro. It's freezing cold outside, and the clouds could come back at any time.
These are the types of nights it wouldnt make sense to set the big rig up - but plunking this thing down in the snow is a no-brainer. 🌌

This is my latest version of the stunning Pleiades Star Cluster in the constellation Taurus.
This is a spectacular deep-sky target to photograph using ANY camera. To achieve a result like this, I recommend escaping the perpetual glare of the city to a dark sky spot.
While I recently captured the Pleiades using a new telescope from the backyard - THIS version was taken back in 2021 using a smaller version of that scope (RedCat 71).
The image includes 4.5 hours of total exposure time (88 x 3-minutes) using a dedicated astronomy camera from a dark sky (Bortle 3) location.
Clear skies, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Have you had a chance to start your Orion Nebula project yet this year? I am incapable of not shooting it every year (Horsehead, too). This is my latest attempt from the backyard, and I am really digging the colors and depth on this one. Clear skies!

G'Day everyone! I am currently in Byron Bay, Australia!
Dylan O'Donnell invited me to do a 'Hot Ones' style challenge last night... and he captured the whole thing 😳 https://www.youtube.com/live/rg3KgT2C...

Nothing like seeing planets with your own eyes through a telescope. It's almost like a dream.

Amazing, the first time I saw Saturn through a telescope I was blown away! The feeling you get seeing a whole other world is just incredible

You wouldn't want me as a neighbor. I'd be asking you every weekend to break out the telescope

Really cool capture at 4:37, of a plane passing through, with the moon as a backdrop.

The feeling of seeing a planet with your eyes it’s like reaching the imposible, makes you feel extremly lucky to be one of the few humans being that reach so far, almost touch planets, almost feel the planet. And that emotions are reserved to very very fews

My friend has a 10” Schmidt. He was using it for solar viewing, with special filters to allow him to take pictures of the sun. When Hale Bopp flew over we brought it to the desert west of Phoenix and got a really good look at the comet. I also too, my 4” reflector out, but when we were setting it up the pinion gear stripped off the ring gears teeth and we lost it. I wrote a letter to the President of Meade and he personally sent out another scope with upgraded eyepieces. He was a really nice guy!

I used to live in a farm in a true dark-sky area and sit out half the night on a pool-recliner, watching the night sky with the scope or binocs. Nothing like it. I just got sick of coming inside half drained of blood from mosquitoes. These days I'm content to just 'send my name' on NASA space missions and know it's up there on Mars, on an asteroid and way out past Pluto and also to watch guys like you provide such inspiring images with much better equipment than I could ever own. Thanks.

My Girlfriend was always like: "Isn't it super boring going outside with your telescope?"
