The Milky Way above the Ring of Brodgar, on Orkney. In an otherwise clear sky, it was "disappointing" to have that band of cloud that just didn't want to disperse. The bright light on the clouds is from the town of Stromness, where we had docked a few hours earlier. #Photography

First clear night in forever, and little Moon, so I pointed the Origin 🔭 for three hours on this beautiful lesser-known star-forming region NGC 7822. Note the cluster of stars on the right, whose radiation and winds are sculpting the gas cloud into fantastic shapes and making it glow.

My grand finale tonight. An image I've dreamed of capturing ever since being a young boy in the 1960s. The iconic Horsehead Nebula. It's taken 4 months since buying the SeestarS50 for the time, location and seeing conditions to be right. Very happy with this. 😊🎉🔭
