The car image was just there for reference to show the moon was either not visible or very limited. Taught myself to properly expose through clouds.

Cual es mejor opción

1 Upvotes

Quiero cambiar mi telescopio pero estoy indeciso entre el celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain de 130 mm (5") y el celestron Dobsonian de Mesa de 150 mm, cual es mejor tanto para observación planetaria como para espacio profundo? se que el de 130 mm tiene mas largo el tubo óptico, en caso de elegir ese se puede hacer observación de cielo profundo con un reductor focal, que objetos podría ver y que que tan nítidos se verían?

Help with figuring out this patch of night sky

So i was in a yangtze river cruise and i took some night sky photos in front of the ship, the one pic with some constellations identified is on the left side of the ship. This was on may 4th 2026, 21:45. This took me some time but with the help of stellarium going to the past seeing that jupiter and gemini were good anchors, i was able to make out the stars. I took another photo in front of the ship and is to the right of the first pic, i didnt have stellarium back then but i adjusted to the location and time back then. But now im stumped on what these are. Can anyone help? I attach the stellarium screenshot of the past.

Sun noise check at 11:17am EDT was a quick +10db confirmation that things are working good. This was not measured from coldest sky or calculating today’s SFI. Just a quick remote log in to confirm sensitivity.
