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.

I have been thinking what a great present this would make...

Does it come with everything needed? Any suggestions where to buy? I see it on Amazon of course....

@fun4us2b Comes with everything you need. We watched a few videos on how to set it up so we wouldn’t be too out of our depth, but was fairly easy to get from the unboxing to seeing the images above. We used the highpointscientific site and picked up a three year, zero deductible warranty that covers anything happening to it. It comes with a limited two year warranty by default, but wanted more coverage just in case.
