Sunshine

Magnificent! when i enlarged it full screen it was like i needed sunscreen lotion!

don't do that! have a good tea and think about it, once the anger boils over you'll be fine.

A wonderful and detailed image of the crab! And I mean DETAILED!

Very nice images! I like how the exposure is just right.

Welcome to SGL!

Enjoy! it is extremely cloudy here 😪

I have never liked 100 mm, except for specific applications such as solar.

Agreed! I much prefer 102 over 100 🤣

It is a wonderful image!

My scope is black with a black mount....you can't SEE it in action at night! 😛

You must bang your head into it a lot looting for the eyepiece 🤣

I Iove your new dob, it seem you will be busy for years to come, congratulations!.

A beautiful image!

Wonderful image!

With a sense of guilt I say that I absolutely love the starless version most. Never thought I would say that but, it gives me a sense of approach in a starship where stars in our milky way are long left behind.

Beautiful images!

Something like this, from bortle (god I hate that word) 2 skies, maybe a tad less evident but still very pretty.

Time travel must be a thing, I only wish my future self from the year 2045 would come back, go back, uhh  and bring me a Tak 125 fluorite doublet which I am calling will happen, guaranteed. These guys have proof that time

travel is real, I'm not convinced but, for the sake of the 125mm Tak doublet I am willing to believe anything. 

What a fantastic lineup of dob's, the first one pictured is super sleek looking, I love it but i'm guessing that it may no longer be available as is the case with all the coolest things.

Great detail in those wisps, impressive!

This is a beautiful image, so well defined and noise free, it is what I would like my astro photo's to be as soon as I get geared up for the task, that is.

My most photogenic telescope - the Skylight 76mm out double star spotting. 

Sorry about the not so photogenic garden...

Photogenic it is! and I would be willing to bet that at least once you have tripped over those stones under each leg 😂

cooling down...

Loving the tripod/mount/scope combo and that bokeh with golden light of dusk is totally making that image.

Wonderful color temperature.

It never occurred to me to put my scope inside an inflatable swimming pool! 😂

Sounds like a beautiful morning, sometimes when I'm up that early I am greeted with similar sights on brisk mornings. Those instances are so quiet,  I get a feeling like I'm the only one in the world looking up at that moment.

Terrifying prospect! I would probably end up setting fire to something! 😱

Yes, setting fire to your entire head! NOT GOOD!

An impressive amount of cloud detail here, great work!

Wonderful image!
