- 1Backyard astrophotographer captures the Milky Way with a smartphone●Out in the back yard last night, setting up the seestars and trying to take some pictures of Scorpius (not scorpio!!! 😡)
An amateur astronomer spent the night in the back yard setting up Seestar smart telescopes to photograph the constellation Scorpius for a friend, and pointed a newer iPhone at the Milky Way as well. The 10-second phone exposure reportedly turned out far better than attempts with their previous phone, with possible zodiacal light also visible. A brief aside insists on the correct constellation name, Scorpius, not Scorpio.

An amateur astronomer pointed two smart telescopes, the Dwarf Mini and the Seestar S50, at the same target for the night: M43, De Mairan's Nebula, within the Great Nebula in Orion, M42. The resulting images are being shared with the astronomy community, a popular pastime as Orion returns to winter skies in the northern hemisphere.
