First true test of Origin on its new EQ mount: staring at Andromeda for 4+ hours, stacking 500 perfectly aligned 30-second frames. Minimal processing with iPhone photos app. Looking forward to pulling down the raw files. 🤤 #Andromeda #Galaxy #M31 #Astrophotography #Astronomy

My planned shot for tonight’s full moonrise didn’t work out. I’ll have to try again in the future. Driving home disappointed, I was suddenly reminded why I do this in the first place and had to capture the “sign”. @LovesTravelStop #Moon #FullMoon #Astrophotography #Astronomy

This is a first for me. I finally got to see and image Pluto! Two images separated by six days when Pluto was near opposition. It’s only traveled about 30% of one orbit around the Sun since it was discovered in 1930. #Pluto #DwarfPlanet #SolarSystem #Astrophotography #Astronomy
