Reply to Everyone talks about how huge Andromeda will look in the sky billions of years from now. I present you what the Milky Way *currently* looks like in the skies of our neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud. We appear absolutely huge in their skies! [Simulated view] by lampiaio
That's cool. I get that it's simulated, but what a neat idea!

By that point we'll either be dead or have reached a point we can just leave. I'm just curious what will happen to the galaxy itself.

Damn that’s awesome!!! I wish one of you pro dudes would post an ELI5 video on exactly how you do this.
I love your skill

Reply to 3 years ago I built this telescope in my parents' garage. It's since shown me supernovae, comets, 3 dwarf planets and been looked through by thousands of other people. by __Augustus_
Hell yeah that's awesome. Wish I could look through it.

So unlikely it’s not even worth mentioning unless you watch too many domesday shows on the History Channel.

In the image you can see the Orion Nebula bottom center, horsehead and the flame nebulae above it, Barnard's loop nebula faintly circling around all of those. On the right you have two bright orange objects which are Mars and Aldebaran along with the "green" comet as it fades away!

It is interesting how it goes from smooth to super textured and busy and then back to smooth.

With my AZ setup, I'm limited by tracking, field rotation (mostly tracking) so I shoot 1 second exposures for the sharper images
