Deep in the universe, there is a mysterious and powerful celestial body, the black hole. A black hole is like a cosmic vortex, with a strong gravitational force that can swallow up everything close to it, even light cannot escape.

NGC 2175 in Orion, open cluster embedded in a diffusion nebula, Its referred to as the “monkey head nebula”, I kinda see it now, this was about a half hour picture thru a Seestar S50, very cold last night, but comfortable watching the image develop inside a warm house! #astronomy #astrophotoghaphy

Another Caldwell object from warmer times, C63 was much bigger than expected, I still want to delete the frames with those darn starlink satellites. #Seestar #Astronomy #Astrophotography

I have an interest with the Caldwell objects, so today is Caldwell 5, an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis. Despite its size and actual brightness, its location behind dusty areas near the galactic equator makes it difficult to observe"The Hidden Galaxy", #astronomy

Absolutely amazing that I can get set up in under 10 minutes, and shoot a picture in under an hour, this is M33 with quite a few satellites buzzing around 20 minutes with a Seestar S50 #astronomy #astrophotography

Feeling alarmed by today's armageddon headlines? 🗞️"NASA makes 'emergency' decision as chances of 'city-destroying' asteroid hitting Earth rise to 1-in-43" It's since dropped to a 1-in-48 chance & the🚨decision was just to use JWST to collect more data🤞🔭🧪 ℹ️: cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/sentry/detai...

Now that it's leaving us, disintegrating like cosmic dust, it's worth taking a look at what I consider one of the best images of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS), captured on January 22 by Phil Hart from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia

A winter time favorite cluster with some reflection nebula. Took this with a Seestar S 50 for a little over an hour almost anybody can take these pictures with this scope. Enjoy.
