⚠️NEVER look directly at the Sun!⚠️ The telescope is currently working again and guiding as it should be. This morning while I was setting up the telescope it started glitching again. A quick rinse and dry with isopropyl alcohol and it's working again. For now. I'm planning on ordering the replacement motor soon.

⚠️NEVER look directly at the Sun!⚠️ The telescope is currently working again and guiding as it should be. I did narrow it down to an issue with the specific motor, but I think I have it resolved now. ICYMI: The Blood Worm Total eclipse was early this morning! I streamed it live, from my telescope from before it started to just after it finished. You can watch the replay of this amazing event here: https://youtube.com/live/0A87SYvvmHk?feature=share @SpaceX and @NASA will attempt to launch Crew 10 again after a scrubbed attempt on Wednesday. Launch is scheduled for 7:03pm Eastern. I'll have the events leading up to the attempt in a window along side the live view of the sun, then later a slide show of my images. if you'd like to contribute to future repairs, upgrades, or gadget/device development make sure to check out the ways to support the channel below, Buy Me a Coffee, and Patreon!
