    M31 with the Seestar S50

    Great to see this Andy. Awesome result. I just got a Seestar S30 Pro and waiting for some clear skies. This is awesome and I can wait to image Andromeda myself. Maybe I need to get an S50 as well and then sell my Celstron Origin.

    First Light - Seestar S30 Pro - Orion Nebula

    After owning this scope for a week, I had a brief window to capture a DSO. From a perfectionist standpoint, there's a lot to improve on this image. However, capture was done in Alt/Az mode with a paltry 9 minutes total integration at 10 seconds each. I took the Seestar integrated fits file...

    Stearns Wharf Sunrise

    I agree on the second one but I like the crescent moon in the first.

    First and only time I got to capture sunrise at Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara.

    Out of the corner of my eye

    I often do the same. It's funny how a little turnaround can offer a different perspective.

    Out of the corner of my eye

    I saw this view out of the corner of my eye as I was walking away. Glad I turned around to get one last sunrise view.

    Patterns in the Sand

    We don't see this in Minnesota unless it's snow mixed with various types of mud and dirt. LOL

    Patterns in the Sand

    We had big rains today in the Santa Barbara area but they gave way to fair skies this afternoon. I took a walk on the beach and noticed all the little 'riverlets' in the sand from the down pours. Here's my example.

    Thank you may I have another (Sunrise)

    We're only here for six days and leave for home tomorrow. It's been a great week and the photo gods smiled upon me. I have no idea if this is the same log or not. With the tides, who knows.

    Thank you may I have another (Sunrise)

    The weather is changing here in Summerland, CA. Clouds are moving in and rain is expected by this evening. I woke up before the sun and looked out the window to see gray but broken clouds. I decided to get up and walk down to the beach in the hopes that the sun might find a clearing in the...

    Stearns Wharf at Morning Light

    I was hoping for some more clouds but happy with these captures of the wharf at first light.

    Path to the Beach

    Lovely morning from Summerland, CA. This is the path to get to the beach. I love how the yellow flowers line the left side of the path with a blanket of flowers.

    Summerland Morning

    I agree. But in a pinch when I leave the tripod at home, it's nice knowing I can do this.

    Summerland Morning

    Taking a break from Minnesota winter with a visit to Summerland, CA. We were out here three years ago and love the area with Santa Barbara nearby. This image was taken handheld at 0.6s with the Hasselblad X2D II. This camera has such great image stabilization that I have handheld some shots...

    Connecticut Snow

    Visiting family in suburban Connecticut, I've often driven by this scene but there's no place to pull over to photograph it. This morning there was a couple of inches of snow on a Saturday morning so the roads were empty. I simply stopped in the middle of the road to finally capture the red...

    The Sagrada Familia is an amazing must see. It looks like Oz to me.
