I took this picture from my backyard in April. More details on my Astrobin page: https://www.astrobin.com/hoeyl5/
This is so amazing! I bought my father a AWB telescope I’m giving to him next week for his cabin. I don’t think we’d be able to get views like this but it must be just amazing to see stuff like through your own equipment
Our eyes are not nearly sensitive enough to be able to see an image like this. It can only be brought out with a camera and lots of exposure time. This image is over 4 hours of exposure time with a dedicated camera designed for astrophotography. You’ll still see amazing things with that telescope! Clear Skies!
