NGC-5907 Sprial galaxy approx. 50 million light years from earth

Processed using Siril, Starnet++, GIMP, and GraXpert using a ZWO Seestar S50

For a laugh, bring up the histogram of this image, that's me stumbling my way through GIMP. Pretty sad but I'm getting there.

Decided to take another run at the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula - (Messier 16), 6.7-7K light years from earth.
NASA - Hubble & Web telescopes did it better but my little $500 wonder did a good job too. It punches WAY above it's belt.

Processed using Siril, Starnet++, GraXpert, & GIMP - all 100% free software.

Imaged with a ZWO Seestar S50

Nothing spectacular, just the end of a day after grouse hunting. No dog, leaves up, got nothing. Happy as a clam.

M33 is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years from Earth
This was actually a 'throw away' image that I tracked when the one before this was out of range for my wee Seestar. Turned out pretty decent though.

I would LOVE to see that in person , except it's cold where you can see it that well and homie don't do cold/snow.
Was hiking a glacier in Alaska a few years back and the little 5'3" guide told us "there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear and bad attitudes."
