Ursa Major - my first astrophotography attempt with my new star tracker     (files.catbox.moe)

Ursa Major, taken this evening! Well, it's not a good picture, but it's my first with my star tracker. Technically not my first either, because the first one was a 5 minute exposure of the back of the lens cap.
Was getting too cold and too late to continue to fiddle, but i think i have polar alignment down ok, and the app figured out.
Now, if i knew how to use a camera at all, this image would be in focus, and if i knew how to use software editing at all, I probably to figure out how to correct the colors being washed out a bit. but those are further steps down the line.

star adventurer pro 2i with nikon D3100, f/2.8, 5 minute exposure with 35mm lens.

Using just my phone and a long (30s) exposure. Beautiful night and location to watch the stars.

Even caught a meteor in it. Want to go back out west with a real scope/setup to take some real astro pics.

Asteroid discovered this Saturday evening exploded over Germany tonight on Sat-Sunday night     (files.catbox.moe)

Hungarian astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky discovered the previously unknown small celestial body on this past Saturday evening, now named Sar2736 with diameter estimated at about one meter (=3.28 ft).

The Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, adopted the asteroid under the name 2024BX1 . The first calculations suggested that the approaching chunk would disintegrate at 0:32 a.m. somewhere west of Berlin.

Exactly at the precalculated time at 12:32 a.m. near Berlin, the asteroid entered the atmosphere not far from the moon at a steep angle – as a glowing ball at a speed of several kilometers per second. The luminous phenomenon was seen at a greater distance, with webcams in Leipzig and Prague recording the phenomenon.

Some fragments of the bolide, which originally weighed several tons, could have reached the earth's surface, so this morning some will search for those.

More shots to come, hopefully. In Colorado, waiting for a clear night to be able to take some deep sky stuff.

This was at home before we left for our trip.

Only gullible fools swallow this bullshit, no way to prove that it is real yet choose to believe in it based on kike media propaganda and faith in authority figures.
