I usually spend my time imaging galaxies and nebula. I had to point my little scope at the one star that needs no introduction. Fun to think about the what ifs…
Around 2 minutes worth of 10s exposure photos stacked together.

Would be cool if you caught it going supernova.
That’s cool. Is the bright diffuse part from the atmosphere or reflecting of the gas around the star?
So powerful. It’s like a dot hanging on the void, but actually an immense, world-creating power. This makes me forget my tiny Earth’s ideas.
how much smaller do you think the actual disc of the star is?
I heard it was close to going nova..did it start?
