My Celestron NexStar Evolution 6 is finally back home after a long repair journey. Main board replaced, fully functional again. Huge thanks to my Seestar S50 & S30 for keeping me imaging.
Clear skies! 🌙🔭✨

Tested my #telescope last night and this is harder than it looks! Even had problems finding the moon with it, if you can believe that 🥹

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🌌✨ Astrophotographer Ian Lauer demonstrates why exposure time matters by photographing the #Andromeda Galaxy for 10 seconds, 10 minutes, and 10 hours. The longest exposure reveals dust lanes, companion #galaxies, and details invisible to shorter captures.

APOD from 2025-12-01

3I ATLAS: Tails of an Interstellar #Comet

Studying comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar visitor, suggests our Solar System is typical. It shares characteristics with our comets, like composition and dust ejection. Captured in Texas, the image shows a green coma and blue ion tail—common features. After its December #Earth flyby, it'll exit our system forever.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a not-too-expensive, beginner telescope?

I grew up in the country looking at the stars (though never got into it seriously) and recently returned to the country. I've watched all 500 episodes of #StarTalk and am a patreon subscriber. I'm not looking to get into it every night, but every so often when a planet is close or a meteor shower is happening.

Also if it can take a beating that helps. I'm clumsy and walk with a cane!

Don't leave Laravel Telescope running on a production fediverse server 😅

Finally managed to capture #Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon with my #Vespera2 #telescope tonight. This last passed Earth in the Middle Ages around 1000 years ago!

Ok I have a very specific #electronics question... I want to control a #telescope mount from an Raspberry through the ST4 interface. This interface is very simple, you just have to "short" one of the 4 lines to the common ground to send the signal to move in that direction. On my mount I've measured 3.3v. On the interwebs everyone does what I want to do with optocoupleurs, but I don't have those at hand. In my mind I can achieve the same thing using transistors. Am I going to break something?
