promising pictures?
and not delivering?
i will end this now.

OT:

Sold my old 750mm newtonian telescope, which i never got adjusted right for astrpphotography and swapped the dirty fiat and some extra bucks for the next size (1000mm) with a shorter focuser tube, which doesn't produce misshaped stars and was able to be adjusted (almost) perfectly in a matter of minutes.
We had some clear nights over here again, so i stopped processing the older data and captured some more.

Introducing IC 1396, the "elephant trunk nebula". Not even two hours of data made me show some details of this rather faint nebula:
Enjoy while hodling  Cool

EDIT: Due to only 28 2-minute subframes, stacked on top of each other, the algorithm didn't fully erase the satellite streaks, which you can see as dim, straight lines covering the sky background, if you take a closer look. When looking through the subexposures, i made out a satellite trail on about every third picture. Means eery five minutes or so this small area of sky is crossed by Elon's little worker bugs and their "collegues".





Always enjoy your telescope image posts bro. Great job.
My Orion 10” Dobsonian telescope had been sitting around for many years as I just
couldn’t be arsed to play with it anymore. As it was collecting dust and taking up
space, (instead of providing images of space) I recently donated the telescope, making sure the recipient promised me to put it to good use. He told me his nephew was totally into astronomy and would love it. I said it’s all yours then. (I trusted he wasn’t going to just sell it on EBay)
So now there’s the upcoming total solar eclipse this coming April across a swath of N.A and I got no telescope. Oh well, I remembered to stock up on eclipse glasses because last time (2017 solar eclipse) those things sold out weeks ahead of time.
