Suburban sky with heavy light pollution, Bortle 6/7, but the dwarf had no difficulty calibrating even if I could only see a handful of stars.<br/><br/>The Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest neighbour to the Milky Way, just 2.5 million light years away, so this is how it looked when early humans were using flints.<br/><br/>I&#39;m quite pleased with this first effort, basically using the suggested parameters and the built-in processing. Very pleased as to how much is built into the small package. Much more to learn and definitely a cosmic hobby.<br/><br/>#astronomy<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/115/876/710/900/512/865/original/4b872ffa702a02b8.jpg"> <br/> 2026-01-11T14:51:19+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgpwp9tv0kxm20dfp6064dnpf9rzmsttfc6x2vud32ntjpczz9fkqzyrjc2cucgnqzyn47haecahgy69vg04e6tpwqqls3w3vauljstr8m7wtrn9r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfa940x5ec8k6r83y79y90ymf3g0yevp3ed0qz2yx4fm6mkyy6fkcnqjh8t'>nevent1q…jh8t</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it is a ridiculous way to run the system.<br/><br/>As for the cost of loving, any reduction is welcome, but in some ways it&#39;s priceless (sorry) 2025-09-04T08:12:49+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0xen59keezduwrpnftl565l4vpzej9qp2c8zpwk78022583kgayczyrjc2cucgnqzyn47haecahgy69vg04e6tpwqqls3w3vauljstr8m7mftpqs Lovely weather, more like the Mediterranean than Essex.
