Here's today's look at the massive sunspot group, currently turned Earthward. If you have eclipse glasses, take a look. #Dwarf3 smartscope

AR 4274 exhibits a twisted magnetic field, crackling with energy. NOAA places the chance of the group kicking off another X-class flare at 35%, not bad odds. The group is now large enough to see with eclipse glasses easy… no magnification needed. It could be an exciting spaceweather weekend.

Caught first sight of Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon with the Dwarf3 smartscope this AM... could just make it out as a fuzzy patch near the 2nd 'leap of the gazelle'. That's two Comets in 24 hours.

A few of September's astro highlights with the dwarf3 smartscope.
The collage contains Andromeda galaxy, the Coathanger, the Teddy Bear, Pacman, Horsehead & Flame & Dark Shark nebula
Its an amazing device👍

Last night’s clear skies saw the backgarden Unistellar-SeeStar face-off with @e-astronomer.bsky.social. Which smartscope will win? 🔭🧪
Round #1, an easy crowd-pleaser: M42, the Orion Nebula, birthplace of new stars, made from the death guts of previous residents.
🥇:A SeeStar (left) win!

Once upon a time I owned four telescopes. I recently sold two bigger ones that hardly ever got used, ordering a SeeStar S30 smart scope. With the chaos of the last week today was the first time I took it out for a test drive. Not bad for first light. #SeeStar #smartscope #astronomy #astrophotography

I think I had to be quite specific - ended up with the Hantek 2D72 which works pretty well (it's a bit more fiddly than my smartscope, but doesn't require me to get a laptop out). And with a waveform generator for all your pretty pattern needs!

Seeing sucks, too cloudy to take the smartscope up to the roof to image, but the moon broke through for a quick shot from the yard. Seestar S50, 30 sec avi, processed in Autostackkert and Reg6. #astrophotography #Moon

It is indeed a special telescope camera thingy!!! A little robotic "smartscope" that looks like this. We love the #Seestar50 - super easy to use and it doesn't completely break the bank.

Finally captured the stunning Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), also known as the 'Eye of God,' from 2,200 meters up on Mt. Teide with the #Seestar S50. This planetary nebula, 650 light-years away, reveals its intricate details against the clear dark Tenerife skies.
