first time shooting The Orion Nebula
I just got canon 6D, a couple lenses, and nomad star tracker a couple weeks ago as I had always wanted to try to photograph the night sky. I was skeptical when people said you can shoot just with a DSLR camera as a beginner. I am completely blown away by seeing this for the first time taken with my own hands. I know it's cheesy, but I feel like Jodie Foster in Contact: "I had no idea!"

Christmas Gift for my Kids
Hey everyone, sorry if this is a little off topic from the norm. But I’m looking into getting a telescope for my kids. We love going out at night and looking at the stars. They love looking through my NVG’s and seeing what they can’t with the naked eye.
So I figured I’d get them a beginner telescope and if they take any interest in it upgrade from there. The twoibked below are the ones I have picked out but without knowing what’s what I don’t know if one is better than the other.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The last super moon of 2024, but this time in color negative
Taken on Friday with a Svbony 122 mm f7 APO, Svbony 705C camera, and a neutral density filter. Two separate image sets were merged to get the full disk on one panel. Top 10% of 4000 images stacked. Post processing in imppg for deconvolution and sharpening and then in Photoshop for levels and conversion to color negative. This color style tends to show more subtle detail than natural color for my solar images, so I figured I’d give it a shot on a lunar image.

I Imaged Jupiter by Stacking a Quarter Million Frames Over a 4 Hour Period to Reveal its Storms in Detail
I stacked about 250,000 frames of Jupiter that I took in about 4 hours. I did this by taking short videos (2-3 minutes each) and stacking each video. Then I stacked the stacks themselves on a software called WinJupos to derotate the planet.
Background stars are also real and were taken separately at a 10 second exposure and added in for some dramatic effect.
Equipment: Celestron 5SE, ASl662MC, 2x barlow, UV/IR cut filter
