I'm Clay, a 22 y/o astronomer from Canada. Images I post are mine, taken with my telescopes. Visit my online gallery if you would like to support my work❤️🌌
@bruce_barrett They are there, the camera isn't exposed correctly to see them. The moon is very bright and the stars are very dim so if you took a picture to see the stars the moon would be a white blob thats over exposed. The moon is the subject so you expose for the subject.
I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!
Make sure you get to see the lunar eclipse on Tuesday if you can! If you live in Ontario or close to it totality won't be easily visible. The sun will rise before it happens at about 6:20AM #eclipse#Lunareclipse2026
An updated view of the #orionnebula
To make this image, i collected exposures of differing lengths to highlight the faintest areas without blowing out the brightest area, the core.
In the second image I highlight the Trapezium, a small star cluster in the core.

Did a redo of some old Jupiter data. The seeing was below average but it can be still made into a really smooth video which is what I did here. Captured Io's shadow transiting Jupiters surface.
I started astrophotography about a year and a half ago. I started with a scope and a mount that didn't track the sky using my cellphone. Now I have much better equipment and my own observatory. The skill is difficult because of the large learning curve but once you learn it, its incredibly rewarding.
@chucksastropho1 Great capture! This is my capture of the same target. There's actually a companion star with 5 Ser called 5 Ser B. I believe they're 80 light years from us, but they are something like 160AU from eachother. Roughly remembering a calculation I did months ago.
In 2024 the government's revenue was 495.2 billion dollars, their total budgetary expenditures were about 535 billion. The spending exceeded revenue by 39.8 billion. That means the government spend money it didn't have. Is that responsible? Would you do that in your house with a line of credit?
I was over exaggerating but a large majority of those houses are definitely going to be federally subsidized, just think about it. They are spending tax payer money to build houses. Ultimately, the liberal plan is faster then the conservatives but extremely costly to the tax payer, the conservative plan is slower and more market based but more fiscally responsible in the long run.
