Shot to the Heart!!

[@tristb9196]

If I'm not mistaken (I could be wrong!) the little galaxy you speak of, is actually a planetary nebula! PN G135.6+01.0 is its catalog number, or WeBo 1 - from what I can find out! Nice capture!

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Thank you! You nailed it! I tried uploading the image to the nova.astronet site but it was down.

[@aw7425]

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Clear skies

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Thank you so much!! Clear skies right back at cha! 😉🌌✨

[@fennellrob]

A nice image. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Thank you! Happy to share the view!

[@GlennSackett]

Great image! I loved seeing the progression from early day to this…

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Thank you so much Glenn! It really shows outward what I’ve always dreamed inward!! ❤️

[@vidman9691]

Awesome examples. You do great work. You have encouraged me to do the Heart with my new ASI 2600 air as soon as there are clear skies. Looking forward to your next video.

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

I am so happy to have inspired!! It’s a beautiful time of year to shoot the stars!! Happy shooting, wish you great conditions and beautiful outcomes!! We belong in a beautiful place in space!! 🌌✨🔭🤩

[@roberthaas6626]

Thank you for sharing. Great work.

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Thank you so very much!! My pleasure to share some space!!

[@jswyman-ll3dr]

Wow, that looks so nice! great framing!

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

So much better than how the offline planetarium wants to frame it! Glad I took matters into my own hands and made it work for me this time! Thank you so much by the way!

[@jswyman-ll3dr]

@@Bekindtoyourmind143 totally agree, what you like to do to your photos is a testament to one's artistic taste/skills/etc.

[@peterraymond3653]

Good job, nice image. Thanks

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Appreciate the kudos! Always happy to share the view through my scope!

[@natecuenca8951]

Great work beautiful image! Interesting how you pointed out the galaxy, BAM, I probably wouldn't have seen that. I like how you shared about standing your ground regarding processing, it's not like you're trying to be Astro backyard. You do you and we love it. It appears you have a pretty good handle on what you're doing🎉

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Thank you so much for saying that!! You are right!! I do not want to be a teacher of processing. It’s no fun at this stage for me to attempt it. I just love shooting and sharing, and I appreciate so much that you enjoy that aspect of what I do here on KZbin!! Thank you also for the lovely comments regarding my rendition of The Heart!! I still haven’t been able to figure out the name of that tiny galaxy. Who knows? Maybe I made a discovery 🤣!! Keep staying tuned, more is on the way!!! ✨🌌🔭❤️

[@natecuenca8951]

@Bekindtoyourmind143 It's so awesome when the content creator (you❤️) takes the time to share and reply to your subscribers. Good things! Happy shooting💫🪐🔭

[@natecuenca8951]

All right part two. The ending of your video was energized and it's obvious you are pumped up. Super cool Kara! So it sounds like you're going to a different telescope/ refractor for your husband's rig. What kind of scope are you guys going to use? Kinda fun🔭

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

We are hoping that we can change it out with our William optics GT 71 little guy and see what we can see. We’ve got some things to work out but hopefully we can make it happen 🤞!! I am so energized with these opportunities as of late and I’m happy to be radiating that energy outward!! Online content needs to have the power to spread the happy too!! 🥰

[@natecuenca8951]

@Bekindtoyourmind143 How excellent The GT 71! Widefield here we come... And yes it appears you are Energized!🤪

[@ERICHOEHNINGER]

random recommendation from KZbin😅 I liked! Very nice work!

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Oh haha!! That’s what Bob Ross would call a “happy accident!” 😁 Thank you very much by the way! 🙏🏻

[@bofblog]

Great image and well processed, the Galaxy I believe is Maffei 1

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

I actually looked into it and both Maffei 1 and Maffei 2 are outside of my framing. I tried to figure out where that cool spot is to no avail but will keep researching it. It could also be a far off Magellanic Cloud as well. Thank you so very much by the way!! The hard work paid off!!

[@John_Pither]

All of those shots were awesome…but, sadly, now I feel the urge to buy more equipment. 😉😊

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Trust me when I say…you are NOT alone!! 😆 Thank you so much btw!!
