My backyard is extremely light polluted, there's a bright street light literally right over it, and there's tall buildings all around which means there's only a very limited area of sky that's visible. Even on a clear night it's difficult to make out anything but the brightest stars and planets with the naked eye.

I never thought photos like this would be possible here, and yet I can set up my telescope and let it do its thing while I sit inside, warm and comfortable.

All images are done with 10 second exposures, stacked and processed entirely in the Seestar app.

1: M31 - Andromeda Galaxy (45 minutes total integration time)
2: NGC 281 - Pacman Nebula (20 mins integration)
3: NGC 1545 (5 mins integration)
4: NGC 1499 - California Nebula (40 mins integration)

Captured the Rosette Nebula the other night and color correction was bananas, I have no clue if this is correct. But it is rose colored! #astrodon #astrophotography #space #seestar

Last images of the morning from both telescopes. Aimed them to the #planet #Jupiter. This first image is by the Odyssey Pro and the second from the s50. Though you can see Jupiter clearly on the first image none of the moons are visible. In thebs50 image Jupiter is to bright, but you can clearly see its moons #Ganymede (to the left) and #Callisto (to the right). #unistellar #odyssey pro #space #astronomy #amateur #seestar #S50

I bought a cool new robot telescope a while ago. We've had some good stargazing nights lately here at the lake, so I wrote up what I've captured:
