Big thanks to our friends at ZWO Astro for the shiny new Seestar S30 Smart Telescope! El Presidente Shannon Calvert called dibs and, in just 20 minutes each on M27, M13, M31, and M8, pulled in jaw-dropping details. WAS Members - get ready, if you sign up you'll get a month to play with this cosmic toy!
