Looking through my astrophotography thumbnails, you can see the Orion Nebula rotate slightly as I imaged it throughout the year.

Photographed the stunning Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51. Located about 23 million light-years away, this classic spiral galaxy is interacting with a smaller galaxy, creating its iconic shape. #Astrophotography #Messier51 #CosmicWonders

Captured a shot of Comet ATLAS! This comet recently disintegrated as it approached the Sun. It's a fascinating glimpse into the life and death of a comet. #Astrophotography #CometATLAS #CosmicWonders

Snapped a shot of the Dumbbell Nebula, glowing beautifully from 1,360 light-years away! It's vibrant red and green hues mark the remnants of a star that began shedding its outer layers about 10,000 years ago. #Astrophotography #DumbbellNebula #CosmicWonder

I'm stuck looking up! Captured Caldwell 23, an edge-on spiral galaxy, under the clear night sky! The dark bands running through the middle are dust lanes, filled with interstellar material that adds a dramatic silhouette to this cosmic beauty. #Astrophotography #Caldwell23 #GalaxyGazing

Orion Nebula on the Seestar S50 using 2x Framing

First shot with the new framing mode on the Seestar S50 smart scope. I'm loving it. I wish there was an unlimited framing size tbh.
