December 2025, The Andromeda Galaxy.

The many Andromedas of December! A sample of nightly stacks the Seestar popped out while gathering data.

Telescope: #Seestar S50. Stacked in Seestar.

December 2025, The Andromeda Galaxy.

Here’s the max I could stack using the Seestar S50, ~1,500 subs in uneven mosaic data.

Telescope: #Seestar S50, 04:26:30 Exposure. Stacked in Seestar.

The Andromeda Galaxy hangs against a backdrop of stars at a 45 degree angle. Spiral arms can be seen as darker outcrops against the center of the galaxy. Two smaller galaxies can be seen in the distance above and below Andromeda.

My project for December! Broke the stack limit of the S50 which was less than 2k subs in Mosaic mode. Stacked about 4,700 subs in #Siril.

Telescope: #Seestar S50, 13:03:33 Exposure.

Messier 31, better know as The Andromeda Galaxy hangs in the night sky against a backdrop of stars, spiral arms and clouds of dust are fairly prominent in the structure of the galaxy. Two smaller more distant galaxies can be seen above and below Andromeda.

History captured!
Charline captured an extraordinary image w/ her #Celestron 11" #EdgeHD w/ a 2x Barlow lens — #NASA astronaut #SunitaWilliams at the end of the #ISS’s robotic arm during a #spacewalk! This marks the first time a female astronaut has been photographed from Earth during a spacewalk!

Shot through a 2x Barlow. I can’t quite get these as sharp as I’d like. I’m thinking it’s the DSLR. Anyone run into this?

Some clear and kind of warm (barely below freezing) nights to end the year. My fingers barely went numb, that’s a win.

Last shot for a bit! The new moon, clouds, and a deep sky project have me tapped out. This is a shot of Langrenus Crater.

Langrenus Crater has a diameter of 132km, central peaks rise to about 1km. The inner walls are terraced, which I thought at first was artifacting from bad focus and editing but it’s actually quite accurate!
