In honor of the special occasion, I have a blog post ready: All About the Tenth Amendment.

Congrats on a fabulous image!

Ice fish. Diamond Beach, Iceland

The Eagle Nebula (M16) --- a favorite--- which showcases the iconic Pillars of Creation. Taken from about 9 hours of imaging with the Seestar S50.

The Needle Galaxy captured with my Seestar S50 telescope.

M104, the Sombrero Galaxy. This photogenic galaxy was captured from about 10 hrs of images from my Seestar S50.

Congrats! Excellent! FYI, I have about 10 hrs of images on it (took about 20 hrs total time on my S50..). My result is not as good as yours, although mine is not bad. 🙂

Aurora pic I took in the fall on Trail Ridge Rd in Rocky Mountain National Park.

This is the Crab Nebula (M1) taken by my Seestar S50 telescope. It is a supernova remnant where the star that blew up is now a neutron star.

One of my favorite places in Iceland: Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon

This image from the Kitt Peak National Observatory shows the locations of Supernova 2004et and Supernova 2017eaw within the galaxy NGC 6946, an intermediate spiral galaxy with a small bright nucleus, nicknamed Fireworks Galaxy.

This stunning image, released on 5 July 2023, depicts the Fireworks Galaxy, officially NGC 6946.

Its nickname is due to the high number of supernovae observed within it, almost a dozen in the last 100 years.

Bothsidesing, With a Republican Slant: Here We Go Again Election results don’t change the facts

Democrats say this, Republicans say that. But don't readers deserve to hear some facts? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/bothsidesi...

I very much value your thoughts! It is so very true that we deeply reflect on --- and appreciate --- the wonderful and beauty of space.

I love shooting from the #WestminsterBridge in #London. Besides feeling the history at every step, there are so many subjects and angles to play with.
This was a long exposure I did to soften the water and create a ghost effect in the people.

Wonderful image! 😀

I am a long-time astronomy maven. Have quite a bit of eyepiece viewing through various telescopes over the years. For several years I dabbled in EAA using tripod, mount, telescope, camera, usb cable, laptop, and software. Now I have taken the ZWO Seestar S50 plunge. Having quite a time!

I recently got back into astrophotography. In this case I am using the remarkable ZWO Seestar S50. This image of S33, the Triangulum Galaxy, was created using about 10 hours of imaging over multiple nights. I processed the images in Graxpert, Siril, and Photoshop.

Many thanks!

Well done!
