The Witch Head Nebula! 🌌
This is my latest photo of the haunting Witch Head Nebula, captured through a small telescope under dark skies.
It's a reflection nebula that glows primarily by reflecting the light of the nearby bright star Rigel in Orion (you can't miss it!)

2 months of deep-sky imaging with the DWARF mini smart telescope!
To capture images of this quality with a telescope/camera of this size is truly remarkable

The Orion Nebula 😳
I took this picture using my biggest refractor telescope, revealing the intricate details within the 'stellar nursery' known as M42.

The Triangulum Galaxy 🌌
I took over 500 images of M33 using the Seestar S50 under dark skies to create this image.
After reviewing many smart telescopes, I still consider the S50 the standard that new models are measured against.

[Movie spoiler ahead]
So, I finally watched the Marvel Thunderbolts (New Avengers) movie last night and I gotta ask…
Was the super villain in that movie…depression? 🤔 Because it kinda felt like they were fighting Bob’s depression…

The fact that I can play games in HDR on a console (PS5) & all screenshots/video clips save in SDR with a single button press…
But you can’t to do the same thru #NVIDIA GeForce Experience on my ridiculously powerful gaming PC.
A console is better at this than my gaming PC 🙄🤦🏼♂️ So stupid…

I tracked this dramatic area in 'Orion's Belt' for nearly 8 hours to capture the light for this photo.

The Andromeda Galaxy 💫
Last week, I captured the awe-inspiring galaxy M31 with my travel telescope under dark skies.
At 2.5 million light-years away, Andromeda is the most distant object visible without a telescope.
This is 7.5 hours of total exposure!

Having a blast playing #Battlefield6. Yeah, sometimes it doesn’t work out and it can be frustrating. But when it hits, it hits in the most insane way and it’s just a damn blast. Not super into REDSEC, it still needs work.

Saddened & disappointed by the ending of support for #NewWorld. Had A LOT of fun playing that game, made a lot of memories with friends. Even more saddened by all the people that lost their jobs today because of Amazon’s cuts. Hopefully some good studios pick them up.

This one might be a hot take and I’m sure I’m gonna get heat from the purists. But Pokemon Legends ZA is, in my opinion, the best #Pokemon game available right now. That’s mostly due to the new combat system, I love it. Hopefully they build off that more in future releases…but I doubt it. #PLZA

Only 4 servers for the entire United States on the day the new expansion comes out is wild. Now, the majority of their player base can't play the game. #NewWorld really screwed the pooch on this launch 🙄
