The United States is actively abdicating its leadership in the commercial space sector. Make no mistake that our adversaries are paying close attention.

"Layoffs of staff at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have included its Office of Space Commerce, potentially affecting work on space traffic coordination and commercial remote sensing licensing."

cafuego 🔭🤦🏼‍♂️

First play date with the seestar s30 last night. I took it to a community observatory in the hills about half an hour outside Melbourne. So a dark-ish sky but still some light pollution.

Pretty good considering it’s a 30mm aperture telescope with a focal length of 15cm. Easy to set up and operate. You’ll want one as your next $holiday gift ;-)

These are all on-device stacks of 20 second exposures. 5 mins for the orion nebula, half an hour for the horse head, 8 minutes for carina and 5 minutes for the tarantula.

The Orion nebula, a bright reddish nebula surrounded by stars.
The horse head nebula. A dark horse head outline against a pink wall of hydrogen gas. A very bright blue star sits nearby.
The Eta Carina nebula. A large pink and red nebula on a dense field of stars with dark dust lanes overlaid.
The tarantula nebula - a large bright nebula in a different galaxy. Looking vaguely like a dead spider. It sits in a dense field of stars and is surrounded by other smaller nebulae.
