M51 (the "Whirlpool Galaxy") and its companion NGC 5195/M51B. Roughly 75 minutes of data out of 90 minutes of capture time, from my light-polluted back yard last night, using a SeeStar S30 Pro and processed in SiRIL (which I am still a n00b at using).

STAR PARTY CHAOS

1 Night at a Star Party… BEST NIGHT EVER

one night. that’s all it took

rocked up to the Messier Star Party thinking it’d be a chill night looking at stars… yeah nah

ended up interviewing Norm about a planispheric astrolabe he literally designed and built, Hugh with his home-built 6" RC, and Phil from the radio astronomy crew about what they’re doing with the dish out at LMDSS

ran Messier Bingo, gave away prizes, pointed telescopes at the Sun, then spent the rest of the night imaging under stupidly good skies

and somewhere in between all that… just hung out with a bunch of legends I haven’t seen in ages

one night, way too much fun, zero regrets
