Do you have an Etsy presence? If you're interested in marketing these, I think there's a market for them. I'd buy one.

^ Very Nice ^
I was shocked to see that one via binoculars once when in a dark area. Got any of M51?

Thank you. Yes.
This one from earlier this year, late last year with the 4.5: refractor.  And this one. A single, 10 minute unguided exposure with my old equipment. A 14" Meade F10 SCT on the Paramount MX+ mount. Unguided! For 10 minutes!

Tried to capture the Dark Shark in Cepheus the other night. Too much Moon and not enough time on this one. Will re-shoot at a later date.

M51! Love it.
At least 10-15 stars in that one shot! I'd never seen or heard of "Dark Shark" before, but I can definitely see it in your capture. Very cool! Andromeda is a favorite. I saw this the other day online. The tadpole galaxy by Hubble https://science.nasa.gov/tadpole-galaxy-hubble  It's amazing to me, that this picture of a galaxy has so many other random galaxies in the background. The extent of the universe is mind bogling.

^ I wonder if there's beings on planets that look up to the sky at night, and wonder what life must be like on another planet. Do they have a social structure like ours? Do they have space telescopes that can see the Milky Way...

There are over 2 billion stars in our galaxy. Our star has 8 planets orbiting it. One that supports us. We keep finding planets around just about every star we look at so how many planets are out there in our galaxy alone? Let's say the average is one. That's 2 billion planets in the milkyway, probably more. Now, there are trillions of galaxies, each hosting millions or billions of stars. All built from the same stuff as our galaxy. So yes, I tend to think like is crazy abundant. Intelligent life, well, it's out there somewhere. Probably never to be found though as it will be scarce and probably short lived. Fun to think about.

I don't know who this "Jim Webb" guy is, but he's been getting some pretty amazing shots!
IC 5332 by that Jim guy.

When I heard this scope announced, I wondered what in the hell he did behind my back to deserve such an accolade!!  Then I learned it wasn't him, so I of course assumed that Jim Webb the Senator must have made the funding happen, so they names it after him, of course. Well, that was wrong too. Instead, they named it after some NASA guy who maybe didn't treat people very well? Who knew that being a jerk at work could get you in the history books

I was in an astronomy club back when Haley's Comet came through last time. Long before digital photography. Mostly B&W film that was "hypered" and lots of time in a darkroom for fuzy photos.
The club has a nice site in in a canyon in the middle of nowhere. It was a weird experience to talk to someone all night and have no idea at all what they looked like. The club had strict rules on lights, never illimitable someone's face. A few weeks later talking to club members and a voice is familiar and finally meet someone face to face that you spent hours talking to before. Astronomy took a quantum leap from that era to now.
