  1. Lagoon Nebula

    At only 4,320 light-years away, the Lagoon Nebula features an open cluster of young stars age 4 - 6 million years.

    Captured with my Seestar S30 at John Glenn Astronomy Park tonight.

  2. @bluejay The libration of the moon will be greatest for the Western Edge on Sept 26th at 12AM. You should be able to obtain a great view of Carroll Crater just on the very edge. I will make a video for this tomorrow. 🔭🤓

  4. The MilkyWay was visible for a short time during totality last night! I had a better view of it than I did the eclipsed moon! 🤣
    I am still learning how to take shots of the MilkyWay. These are meh but I am improving.
