I want to preserve the beauty & integrity of our night skies. Focusing mainly on raising awareness about the effects of light pollution, not only on astronomy but also on wildlife, human health & energy waste. - Dr Chris Spencer (aka @PixelatedDad)
I’d imagine we are almost at an ethical point now. We probably can, but should we? Big question, and a big discussion point I’d guess, does it go against the Planetary Protection Policies? (Well above my pay grade I’m afraid) 😎

We can and we should 100%. We just need to keep raising awareness and help educate on responsible lighting. 🙏🏻

I’m not sure now if the Seestar rotates the image somehow. Something I will check next time I go out. I’ll take an image of the moon with Seestar and then one with my phone. I thought the Seestar uses two mirrors so I always thought it was orientated correctly.

I’m in North Nottinghamshire. It was taken with a Seestar S50.

Ashamed to say I didn’t get the reference initially. So will admit I had to google 🤣 “Peter Gabriel - Salisbury Hill” then went to YouTube to listen, then realised of course I know it 😂👍

The skywatcher Heliofind mount is amazing in this configuration. Super simple to setup and zero issues tracking the sun. Great for outreach.
