My grand finale tonight. An image I've dreamed of capturing ever since being a young boy in the 1960s. The iconic Horsehead Nebula. It's taken 4 months since buying the SeestarS50 for the time, location and seeing conditions to be right.
Very happy with this. 😊🎉🔭

Very interesting read here about early domestication of yeast.
And wine, and beer, and the list of uses for this versatile little organism goes on and on! There is evidence that humans domesticated yeast >7000 years ago! Read a short summary here, including what "shmooing" has to do with yeast: sites.google.com/view/yeastge...
