The first time I saw them I was completely mesmerised. I mainly use binoculars, and it was when I started with astronomy. I was so shocked I was able to just... See this, haha. Same feeling I got when I saw the Galilean moons for the first time.
It's been a while since my last one, and this one isn't as impressive, buuuut: I've been getting into astronomy a lot more, so enjoy this photo of the Pleiades taking from my very own balcony :p
Oh, thanks for reminding me, it's about time for my yearly replay of it! Such a fantastic visual novel.
Thank you! Sadly I only got one chance to really use it so far, but I'm happy with it. I could have obviously gotten something bigger but... I can put this thing in my backpack and throw myself on my bicycle to go somewhere, which I couldn't do with bigger kit.
Hehe, yeah, photography in itself wasn't expensive enough so why not make it even worse?
My bank account: screaming
It's taken using a Dwarflab 3, so obviously one can argue about how much I actually did myself :p
Yeah, it's the Andromeda Galaxy. I planned on just trying it out, not expecting it to work so well in the area in front of my apartment (lots of light pollution) - but it worked well enough so I stood there two hours. I would have loved to expose even longer, but my feet were already quite dead at that point.
Thought I'd post this one here - my first attempt at doing astrophotography. I'm happy enough with how it turned out, but my feet still almost froze off.
