This was taken with a 6 inch f/5 Newtonian.

1.5 hours worth of exposures and a whole lot of calibration frames.

Got a telescope! Things a beast.

I’m not even sure how I would upload video to this forum seeing as I could only upload 2mb pictures. But I’ll be in that band in 20 ish mins

Thunder snow incoming? That area out in eastern ny look like they mean business! 

DUMPING snow here in Harwinton CT!!

Got my clear night! Keep ‘em coming.

Jellyfish Nebula, Monkey Head Nebula, and cosmic dust.

According to point and click forecast only 1 clear night out of the next 10. Lame 

Is there any hope for a pattern that produces more clear nights soon? I want to take astrophotos but it’s been cloudy every night!!

I was just like you. I like Astronomy and  I had a few cheap telescopes in my life but you really need a setup that tracks the objects.   I don't have the patience for  all that.  I have really wanted to see a galaxies and nebulas.  Then after Covid I heard about  these new smart telescopes.  They don't have an eye piece but connect to an app. I have the Vaonis Vespera.  The scope finds and slings  and tracks it. Does all the work.  You just select what you want to see and it finds it and starts sending images to your laptop or phone. I can set it up and sit inside and just watch from my easy chair.   It is pricy (about $1400) but wow.  I have seen so much.  Last night was clear and moonless so I set it up to capture the Andromena Galaxy.  It stacks the images to provide a bright high quality picture.  Even a dummy like me can use it.  Here is last nights picture resized down for the forum. (The original is much more detailed)

That’s sick! I think they just came out with the v2 version of that smart telescope.

I thought it was fake. Looks like an angry possum.

Lots of people are claiming it to be Ai… I’m actually getting so much hate on the internet from this picture since it went viral

Sorry for your losses jeff. 

Boston peeps. I was up in your neck of the woods today in Wilmington. It was super nice out and good vis. I got some sweet pictures of the Boston skyline from about 12 miles away. I’ll post them up here soon.

 A couple photos of how the colors look in NWCT both taken on 10/22/23

Edit: it won’t let me post the other one even though I resized it under the 1.9mb limit
