Your gateway to endless inspiration
Why birth something bound to explode? No matter how brightly, how lightly it glowed Why love something for it to leave? Even after stardust spreads, there’s much to grieve Long after stars are dead, I’ll become what they’ve billowed.

Haven't posted in a few months, mainly because I was busy w/ school, but I also just haven't been using tumblr that much. I do want to start posting more, but I also kinda doubt I will ever consistently post. Anyways, here are some space photos that I took in november.
The Orion Nebula
The brighter images are blurry because they have to capture light for a longer time. This can be solved with a tracking mount, but I do not have one
These were taken from farther away, which makes them look clearer
The Pleiades
The brightest stars in this cluster can be seen with the naked eye, but the dimmer/further ones can only be seen through cameras/telescopes
Jupiter
You can kinda see its stripes on the dimmer photos, but its not very clear. With the brighter one, you can see its 4 Galilean moons next to it. When looking through a telescope with the naked eye, you can see both the stripes and the moon, but that's harder to capture on camera.
The moon
Not much to say, just a few photos of our moon.
I'll try to take more photos over winter break, but its kinda annoying to deal with things like bugs and neighborhood lights.
