Yes finally we are getting popular 😅

Thanks to all of you, we have over 1,000 stars 🌠 on @Codeberg, a mostly volunteer-driven code forge that shares our commitment to community & Free/Libre/Open Source Software. Their efforts make the way we develop CoMaps possible.

Did you know: Codeberg is run by a non-profit association that sustains itself via memberships & donations. If that sounds as cool to you as it does to us: Consider donating or becoming a member! https://join.codeberg.org/

Spent 10 hours capturing this beautiful planetary nebula over the weekend.
The Shrimp Nebula (Sharpless 188) in Cassiopeia sits roughly 850 light-years from us.
It culminates around astronomical midnight and offers its best views in mid-October.
