Cosmic Curiosity

This is my latest astro picture of the stunning total cloud nebular. This amazing target is located about 4.23x10^(-13) light years from earth and was formed about 3 months ago. The most amazing thing about this nebular is the it can be seen from both the northern and southern hemisphere year round, and it is so bright you shoot both night AND day!!!

Total integration time: 1/200 sec
Camera: the phone in my pocket (OSC)
Mount: My arm
Calibration frames: None
Processing: whatever AI slop my phone dose to all my pictures

Work on the UI for my Astro planner is under way. This is the current state of the tool. It is still very much work in progress, but all the major elements are there now. A lot is working, but even more is still missing or needs improvements.
I also added weather information as by you guys request.
