I purchased a ZWO Seestar S50 Pro #smart #telescope a few weeks ago. I've taken advantage of some clear skies to #photograph some #nebula and #galaxies. Being so much easier and faster to set up is huge for taking advantage of an hour or two of clear dark skies. #astronomy

M33 Triangulum Galaxy - 24 minutes total exposure time taken with a Seestar S50 Pro smart telescope in equatorial mode.

Pelican Nebula - IC 5070 - 45 minutes total exposure time taken with a Seestar S50 Pro smart telescope in equatorial mode.

Eastern Veil Nebula,- NGC 6992 - 20 minutes total exposure time taken with a Seestar S50 Pro smart telescope in equatorial mode.

Heart Nebula - IC 1805 - 27 minutes total exposure time taken with a Seestar S50 Pro smart telescope in equatorial mode.

The last time #Canada and #USA were at #war was in 1812. It didn't end well for the Americans. Their invasion of Canada fail miserably, our forces advanced to Washington DC, burning down the #WhiteHouse! Today is the anniversary of that bold hostile action - August 24, 1812! 😉 🇨🇦
