Can you see the bat? It haunts this cosmic close-up of the eastern Veil Nebula.

Northern Lights seen in my hometown for the first time.

I caught this historic moment for my town on my GoPro Hero 11. This event was a couple of weeks ago and it hasn't happened since, making me very grateful that I caught this rare phenomenon.

Recommendations for popular entry level telescopes

'Popular' because I'd like to find a used telescope. I can set up some keyword searches; it's more likely I'll find one if it's a popular model. I should add I have a Canon T3i, if that helps. I plan to upgrade the camera in the next year or so. Thanks in advance! (edited)
