My latest capture - the galaxy M106 and an edge-on galaxy, NGC 4217. looking more closely, one can spot many other distant galaxies hundreds of millions of light-years away. Celestron RASA telescope ZWO ASI533MC color camera Antlia L-Filter from Starfront Observatories, TX

You know what? Even galaxies are a mess sometimes, and that’s okay. #MondayMotivation

Partial solar eclipse - 29-03-25. A day of firsts! First time I saw an eclipse through a scope, first time I’ve ever captured one through a scope and this is the first ever solar image I have processed.
