Nice work! I was actually imaging this galaxy last night. We get very few usable nights this time of year in Minnesota.

I am far more excited for Blue Origin.

What more evidence is needed for those who don’t understand this is a coup?

That container is far too small.

No, not us… just them.

It’s a mass exodus from other platforms. Hopefully Bluesky doesn’t screw this up. ;)

Also. I voted for you…. I think.

That contest is still going on? I entered a few times a long time ago, but it seemed like they could never get voting to work right on the page. ;)

StarStaX was used for this photo. It is simple to understand and use.

Sequator is more powerful. It is very handy for Milky Way photos, but can also be used for star trail images like this.

Both are free and beginner friendly.

This is a coup. Treat it as such. You just aren’t used to seeing them come from someone already in power.

By the time you get to court he will have completely taken over. Something has to be done before then.

Of course it is all that... but I still see popcorn. I've had the absolute pleasure of seeing it in a 30" Dobsonian... and... yup... it was still a piece of popcorn... just bigger. :)

While processing this image a few years ago, I noticed a little streak from a moving object (red arrow). It overlapped enough image to image, so the outlier rejection logic did not remove it.
After a little research, I found it to be a known asteroid (1277 Dolores).

I use it for both. It's actually a bit small for planetary.

That's understandable. There's only a round marble of a planet being shown, so there's not a lot of other context (other than the text at depth 0) to make you see it correctly.
You're lucky you can get it to work at all, some cannot. :)

Another trick for parallel viewing these is to look for your own reflection in the phone screen. That will be close where your eye separation needs to be, then you just need to change focus.
Try without glasses if you wear them. Start with the phone close to your face and move it away.

You can get both pairs to "lock" with either method, but one will look round and the other not so much.

Thanks! It works really well. I did one a few years ago with one of Jupiter's moons, but it doesn't look as nice. I've improved a bit since then. :)

I find cross-view images work best when looking at these on a computer monitor. The parallel-view images work really well on smaller screens like mobile phones.

I am an astrophotographer and want to be able to share images on the astrophotography feed.
I am also an active member of the Minnesota Astronomical Society. I sometimes take a large truss-tube Dobsonian to events for public outreach.
