🔭 Yesterday I made a last attempt to capture 3I/ATLAS, our interstellar visitor.
By now its brightness has faded to just magnitude 13.3, but after an hour of exposure it still showed up. A faint glimpse of a traveler from beyond our solar system. 😀

The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant in Taurus 6k ly away, and for mid‑northern observers it is best observed in December.
