M45, the Pleiades. First try with the Seestar S50 smartscope's mosaic mode. One pic wouldn't get the whole cluster, so this image was made up of many pictures (a whole hour of 10-second pics) stitched together automatically in the app.
Not bad for a 50mm scope in the middle of a city!

Last night's moon, as taken with my Seestar S50. I was feeling too fragile to drag out my big scopes in -6°C weather 🥶

Last night, I had my first astrophotography sessson of 2025, by which I mean I stuck my Seestar smart scope out in the subzero temperatures while I stayed indoors where it's warm. Took a pic of one of my favourite objects, Messier 42, the Orion Nebula.
