18 July 2026, The Veil Nebula. Had a perfect night to capture part of the Veil Nebula, and finally got a large mosaic section. Telescope: #Seestar S50. Stacked in Seestar. 03:19:00 Exposure. #Astrophotos 🔭 #Space #DeepSpace #Colorado #NGC6960 #Veil #Nebula

A mosaic section of the Veil nebula appears to shoot across the night sky.

Visiting family in Minnesota and have had some really great looking nights. Wish I had brought my scope with! Had to settle for a few shots with my iPhone. #Astrophotos 🔭 #iPhone #Lake #Minnesota #LakeIda

Took the #Seestar with camping. Got clouded out during the evening and night, but the day was gorgeous and I found the Pikes Peak visitor center, which sits just over 14,000 ft, that was 25 miles away from our campsite (which was at 9,500 ft)! #Colorado #PikesPeak
