We got a new toy.


This contraption is for Astrophotography and it enables us to capture stunning images of the sun…



The moon…



And celestial bodies that our eyes are unable to see without a little help from modern tech, like the M100 spiral galaxy and the M3 star cluster.




Have yet to look into actual editing software to make the last two really pop, but even these small captures make my little dorky heart soar.

Wow. Very interesting. Must have a special sun filter. And it tracks. I bought a tracking unit for my camera and telescope. I need to set it up. I need to look at the sun again. More activity than during the eclipse.

@Livingwell Nice shot! Saw some images taken during the eclipse with this unit and man, that would’ve been something to see. That sun filter is definitely a must though.
