@esoastronomy@mastodon.social growing up in the 80s, fascinated by asteonomy, spending many nights with our schools telescope, the 5m Telescope on Mt. Palomar has been the pinnacle of optical instruments.
How far has science got from there. I still can't believe it. JWST. Rubin Observatory. This will get ready in my lifetime. I am so curious.

@Reinald@nrw.social @esoastronomy@mastodon.social same here. What is really mind blowing is the image processing technology allows me to capture images close to those from Palomar with a 6 inch SCT paired with a photographic sensor plus some neat processing tricks.
