I am retired from Steward Observatory Mirror Lab in Tucson, Arizona, USA so I am very familiar with optics. You have accomplished what most amateurs only dream of, and you are obviously having fun doing it. Congratulations!!

[@lyricsronen]

This was absolutely incredible. You are such an inspiration, not just in your findings but in the way you dedicate yourself for dealing with all the difficulties of this vocation with such high spirits and endless devotion. These images blew my mind into pieces. The live feed of the star nursery with all the bubbles - a celestial object of such vast proportions laid out in front of us like sprinkles on frosting - within our live point of view, from here on earth!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And after that, seeing the protoplanetary disc and the young solar system was just beyond comprehension.

[@vgamedude12]

When I was a bit younger I thought only such images could come from space telescopes like Hubble. Truly beautiful.

[@davidtotten3042]

When you were a bit younger, you were right! I’ve been in this hobby for about 60 years and to see the changes that have came and went is crazy. Just the last 10 years have been massive.

[@vgamedude12]

@@davidtotten3042 I really need to get a telescope then. I've always wanted to and never did. My only dislike is that it seems one has to set up a camera to get enough light to capture these images. Would that I could look through the aperture and see such things in real time...

[@davidfrazier8725]

Really! me too

[@martynh5410]

@@vgamedude12. You can try live stacking images (Using software like SharpCap) and see nebulae and galaxies build up on a computer screen. That will give you a lot more than just looking through an eyepiece. It’s the closest to real-time astronomy and fairly easy to do. It’s called EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy). The Cloudy Nights forum will be a lot of help setting this up.

Hello! I’m a 14 year old Amateur Astronomer, been photographing for just over 2 years now with my 9” Dob in dark New Zealand Skies.

It’s a very new solar system, he was looking for one being formed not fully formed as the stars would be too bright to pick out planets and all the gas and dust hasn’t formed into planets yet so nothing would be looking at us unfortunately, it would look like our solar system did 4.5 billion years ago when it was first forming
