Our Sun isn’t massive enough to collapse into a black hole ⚫️ — but thanks to an international collaboration, you can still get a good look at one. Read more about the first-ever image of a black hole: go.nasa.gov/2Ky9CTo #EHTBlackHole

Messier 106 Multi-night imaging with the AD250 from @656imaging and the CEM120 from @altair_astro. Seeing was poor, but I managed to get some of the outer fine arms of the galaxy. See astrobin.com/398965 for more. #Messier106 #M106 #DreamScope #656Imaging

A 5 second test image with the AD250. @656Imaging collimated the scope with a laser and then you would fine tune with stars. But the AD250 was 99.9% perfect "out of the box"! 656 Imaging have a stand at (practicalastroshow.com/ ) this weekend. #656Imaging #PracticalAstronomyShow
