Seeing is easy. Understanding takes more time.

Hello people of Tumblr. My brother is a music producer by the name of Meta Essence in the EDM community. He just released his 2nd music album, Translucent, and I would love for you to spread his name, and more importantly his music and good vibes.

The day before the closest approach was the only opportunity I had to get this shot. Poor seeing conditions and couldn’t get proper focus due to atmospheric refraction. However, this is my “once in a lifetime” shot and only had about a 45 minute window to get this. Blend of 3 separate videos stacked of different exposures for each planet and Jupiter’s moons. Uncropped, this is how the planets were framed in the camera.

The Orion region, along with my first attempt at the Veil Nebula on 12.09.20. Light pollution is a bitch.

Added more data to my previous M31 post. Total integration time of 3h42m.

1 hour 22 minutes, F/5.6, ISO-500, @ 135mm cropped. Tracked using iOptron Skyguider Pro.
