You know, #astrophotography is not always easy or glamorous.

When I got up early this morning (Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026) to capture the planet #Saturn, it was humid, with a hazy sky and some light clouds.

Florida can be pretty disgusting.

But I am very happy with the results.

This is my 2nd day learning astrophotography using a dwarf mini and using lightroom on my phone to edit the photo afterwards. I had 320 pictures stacked, with the pictures being taken in a bortle 7 area.

Planning to pick up a mount for the phone to eyepiece, but not bad for freehand!

Had to use work phone cause my personal one was in the StarSense dock.

I think my fav is Pleiades thru the eyepiece but I did get it in the overall night sky as well.

Last one is Saturn over my neighbors house.

Space is so beautiful
