I was able to spot Andromeda and M110 last night through my scope. Nothing nearly as spectacular as the photos you’ve made, but it’s amazing to find and know what you’re seeing. The cosmos are truly wonderful.

What scope are you using?
Just a 5” Celestron reflector. Picked up a kit of various lenses as well to open up viewing options. It was as much as I wanted to spend for a first scope. If I lived somewhere with darker skies I would have to save up and get into photography. The whole family enjoys it.

I had to make 3-4 road trips to Charlest S.C. so I found a podcast called “pulp physics”. It was 19hrs of the history of astrology. Narrated by Harvard professor, study of the stars was the first documented intellectual pursuit. (Then female psychology) It was very very interesting, real in depth about everything, but not really over your head.
large big immense doesn’t even start to describe space.
Stunning ...
