Last night I took my first real step into the world of astrophotography — and I’m completely blown away. Using the SeeStar S50, I captured my very first image of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) — a colossal spiral of stars, dust, and dreams, floating some 2.5 million light-years away.

Watching the image take shape in real time was pure magic. Frame by frame, the faint smudge I’ve stared at so many times through binoculars transformed into a galaxy — spiraling arms, bright core, and all. There’s something humbling about realizing that this light began its journey long before humanity even existed, only to end up on my screen tonight.

It’s safe to say… I’m hooked.
