🐘 The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula, IC 1396A, through the new @ZWOAstro Seestar S50 Pro.

🔭 300 × 60-second exposures
⏱️ 5 hours total integration
⭐ Only 3 of 300 frames rejected
All S50 Pro data. Still amazed at what 50mm of smart telescope can pull out of the cosmos.

@erfmufn The important part is this. You’re still here. And that’s a pretty extraordinary place to start from.

I am home after 19 harrowing days in hospital where I stopped breathing after surgery and spent 10 days in the ICU. My hair is growing back patchily after chemo made me bald. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck and can only walk slowly. That was hard but necessary to remove the cancer in my stomach, so I don’t really have a stomach anymore. My weirdest symptom today is “an impending sense of doom” every time I eat. It’s a thing apparently. I hope that goes away before I develop an eating disorder. Anyway I’m so happy to be alive and with my family again! Thanks to everyone for their support and kind words. ❤️

If you're shooting with a one-shot color camera and feel like you're leaving detail on the table… this one’s for you. We’re featuring the Optolong L2 Dual Filter Combo Set - and it’s quietly changing the game for OSC astrophotography. https://t.co/du9hP5ZqHN

@AJamesMcCarthy Orion M42/M43 is such a gift, layers of structure and signal just waiting to be interpreted. Loved your note about “true color” in this post. Would you be willing to share how you approached color assignment (channel mapping / nm ranges) and capture details?

ZWO has just released new cameras and binoculars with the ASI585MM Air, ASI4400MC Pro and the new Seestar Binoculars arriving for astrophotographers who want full frame options, portable imaging and easy sky viewing in a fresh set of tools. https://t.co/IMF6rXM3cR

Did you guys know we’re going to the moon in a few months? Like Artemis II is actually happening, not some theoretical plan with hardware that still needs to be developed. The rocket is built and waiting to take the crew to the moon.

First time since 1972. This is a big deal!
