I look at things as a retired High School teacher who’s always explaining what we see to teenagers. Explaining the distances involved is mind boggling!!!

I have an 8″ Edge and am blown away at the knowledge and the processing steps but the final image says everything! I’m thinking of getting into astrophotography with my scope but obviously need to do a lot or research before doing so. Thanks for the image and the staggering number of stars in the overall image. I’m from North Dumfries just outside of Cambridge Ontario.

It is upside down toward the west.
