I’m diving into the history of astrophotography—from early Moon shots on glass plates to modern deep-sky captures from backyard rigs.
A longform piece is in the works for all the amateur stargazers and photon hunters out there. Stay tuned!

It's a nice cold and clear night right now. So here is IC 1848 (Westerhout 5) capture at just under 1 hr. #space #Westerhout5 #W5Nebula #SoulNebula #IC1848 #CassiopeiaConstellation #Astrophotography #SeestarS50 #DeepSkyImaging #AstroPhotography

Whirlpool Galaxy. Throwback post. #astrophotography. #deepskyimaging

It makes me want to play PacMan. #space #Astrophotography #SeestarS50 #DeepSkyImaging #pacman #nebula

67 mins of 10 sec subs on #NGC2174 with zero rejected frames and no field rotation. This EQ mode update for the #SeestarS50 is truly amazing. #astronomy #astrophotography #deepskyimaging

First test of EQ mode on the #seestars50. 23mins of 20 sec subs with just a hand full of rejected frames under as tight breeze. I’m pretty happy with this result on #m42. #astronomy #astrophotography #deepskyimaging

#M44 (the #BeehiveCluster) was one of the first open star clusters studied by Galileo when he pointed his refracting telescope to the night sky. #astronomy #astrophotography #deepskyimaging #seestars50

After a long, cold, cloudy winter, tonight, on it’s last day, I will finally get a shot at imaging #Orion as it slips to the west. It’s been a while since I put this rig together. May the clear sky forecast be correct! #astronomy #astrophotography #deepskyimaging.

Caught the Orion Nebula with my SeeStar S50 over the weekend just before the haze rolled in. #OrionNebula #Astrophotography #DeepSkyImaging #ClearSkies #Stargazing #CosmicWonders
