Can you take a picture of maybe the Andromeda galaxy or maybe the Large Magellanic cloud?



Mighty fine telescopic unit you got there, looks like the kind you can reason and raisin with. The trials of worechiester sauce are real young bonesfourlegs.

I'll have a 4 hour window to catch Andromeda Friday night if it's clear. If it isn't, I'll have a 5+ hour window Saturday night and will probably shoot for the Horsehead, Flame, or Orion/Running Man Nebula because they'll get a chance to get higher in the sky before the moonrise.

Also, you can't see the large or small Magellanic cloud from the northern hemisphere...  and I'm pretty far north in the northern hemisphere.

if there were 5 richards for every richard you don't have there would be like 1,000

Take a picture of me.




Betelgeuse is easy. It's already been in many of my pics. Actually, it's the brighter orange star in the bottom left here:


I should be able to try this out Friday or Saturday. Friday night the sun sets at 4:55pm and the moon doesn't rise until 9:45pm. The weather should be clear. Saturday night is also supposed to be clear and the moon won't rise until almost 11pm. If Friday night works, I'll try imaging the Andromeda galaxy. It's straight up and will have the least atmospheric interference. If Saturday works, I'll try the Horsehead and Flame Nebulae. They'll be higher in the sky since I'll have longer before the moonrise.
