This one has been on my todo list ever since: the #horseheadnebula in the constellation Orion. It is pretty amazing what can be achieved with only 3 hours of integration time.

@cafuego Nice! That telescope is perfectly collimated.
... and here is #Saturn. Its ring system is barely visible as we're almost in the ring plane.
#Planet #Jupiter, taken yesterday with an 8" telescope. The seeing was pretty bad, but the Great Red Spot is visible nevertheless. The brightness of the #Galilean #Moons has been enhanced disproportionally. RGB colors have been taken sequentially over the course of 10 min. As a result, the moons appear as little rainbows due to their motions.
You might have seen the pictures of the (de-)construction of the #Trump #WhiteHouse. These activities can even be seen from #space with #satellite #RemoteSensing. #Sentinel2 imagery clearly shows a lot of soil being moved around the East Wing. #uspol

The Ring Nebula #M57 in constellation Lyra is a planetary nebula. If you squint your eye, you can almost see the white dwarf star in the center of the ring.

The #globular star clusters M13 and M3. This direct comparison nicely shows the difference in apparent diameter between the two.

A humble try to image the nebulosity in #M45, or the #Pleiades. This image combines a total of 2 hrs of integration time. More time would help to better work out the details in the nebulae. Well, it's something...
