A selfie with me observing with the Celestron SE6 scope and using the iPad and WiFi connection to control the scope. Version 2 looking down at the iPad. Taken August 18, 2019 in the light of the rising waning gibbous Moon. A single 10 second exposure with the 24mm lens and Nikon D750. The camera was focused on the foreground not the stars.

A selfie with me observing the North America Nebula in the fading moonlight (thus the blue sky) on August 8, 2019 from home, using the Astro-Physics Traveler 105mm refractor on the Mach One mount. I was comparing views with various nebula filters this night. So I was actually observing! In this case using the 31mm Nagler eyepiece. A single 10 second exposure with the 35m lens and Canon 6D MkII. Focused on the foreground. Taken for a book illustration. Illumination is from the red hand controller lighting.
