Last night four of us (Mike, Richard, Ken S. and me) enjoyed the beautiful clear skies and cool weather. It felt more like mid-September to me than early July. Ken and I had a couple of Seestar S50s running, Mike had an 80mm refractor with a new ZWO camera he was testing and Richard was doing some seriously amazing naked-eye observing. I took my first picture of a comet, C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, which is predicted to possibly be a bright naked-eye object in the fall. In honor of the upcoming Independence Day I also photographed the Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) and the Eagle Nebula (M16). The below pictures are straight out of the Seestar with no further enhancement (exposure times are given on the bottom watermark bars). [Update: Ken S. added his image of M27 from the same night.]
