For a beauty break, you can't beat the Eagle Nebula. It's home to the famous Pillars of Creation, and also to this amazing "tower of starbirth," newly imaged in honor of the Hubble telescope's 35th anniversary. 🧪🔭 esahubble.org/news/heic2507/

Sometimes there’s a steep learning curve to #astrophotography. Last night was a struggle to focus my Sky-Watcher 127 to my new ASI662MC. This only compounded by my complete inability to plate solve, so I could only rely on manual polar alignment. I guess it’s to the YouTubes. #astronomy #space

Here are some deep-sky objects you don't see very often! The main object is the 'Spider Nebula' (IC 417), a rich star-forming region in the constellation Auriga. Above that is the 'Fly Nebula' (NGC 1931), a reflection and emission nebula. One quick night of imaging during a break in the clouds!
