A beginner amateur visual astronomer. Sharing the journey using beginner equipment only: a dob and a cellphone.

[AstroBatman @Astr0Batman]

I am not shooting for perfection; I aim to share what to realistically expect at the eyepiece for visual astronomy. I'll be using the most basic tools available: a dobsonian telescope and a cellphone camera. The wonders of the universe for someone who is starting out on this path

Behold our galactic neighbor the #andromeda Galaxy. This picture is almost true to the visual experience on a night of good seeing and transparency.

A bit out of focus but the night mode wasn't very easy to use.

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) visible from my backyard. At absolute jaw dropping beauty.

@guilleabramson Yes, it's a typo. Cannot edit my post .

[AstroBatman @Astr0Batman]

See the stars making a C shape on the right side of the red circle? That's Corona Borealis a small constellation. There is no star in the red circle today. In the coming weeks T CrB (located inside the red circle) will go nova and will be visible to the naked eye.

[AstroBatman @Astr0Batman]

Overexposed video of Jupiter, it's 3 moons, and Mars. This was such a a beautiful conjunction. Watching 2 planets in the same FOV at the eyepiece was breathtaking.

None of the stars in this picture are visible to the naked eye. One needs a binoculars or a telescope to view these. The circled one is T CrB. In the coming weeks it will go nova and be visible to the naked eye. The last time this happened was 1946.

[AstroBatman @Astr0Batman]

Previous outbursts happened in 1846 & 1946. During the outburst we'll be able to see it with the naked eye. Stay tuned!

T CrB is a recurrent nova right now only visible via binoculars or a telescope.
