Monet’s Impression, Sunrise (1872) captured Le Havre rebuilt after the Franco-Prussian War. 🚢

Jupiter with a 2x tele-extender (left) and 4x extender on the right. I thought 2X would be a clear winner for detail, but I'm torn. I'm also happy because I lucked out and caught the great red spot. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Another night sky wonder my Dwarf captured last week!
Bode's Galaxy with its neighbour, the Cigar Galaxy. M81 & M82 are 12 million light years away and can be seen in the Great Bear constellation (not that they're part of it).
