More images from last night.

First is Jupiter and a few of its moons.

Second is M 78, also known as NGC 2068, a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion, 1350 light years away. It is also known as the Casper the friendly ghost nebula.

Third photo are of the Pleiades. The Pleiades are visible with the naked eye and are about 444 light years away.



Photo of Jupiter and its moons. They're just bright dots on black background. The brightest dot is Jupiter itself and four other dots are the moons.
A photo of stars. A light blue nebula with two bright stars at its center. The nebula is small in the image.
The famous Pleiades. A cluster of bright blue stars.

I tried to photograph the Leo Triplet, but the Seestar refused to keep all three in center and I don't have enough data for a nice image. Maybe next time then.

The Seestar really had trouble yesterday, because of the bright moon I guess. I tried lots of different objects and it took three times as long because I kept getting a "startrails" error message.

@ninafelwitch The Pleides have always been one of my favorite naked-eye objects.
