I hiked into Bryce Canyon NP all alone at night to get this Milky Way shot [OC]

I want to print out this picture for my one year old daughter so she has some idea about the scale and size difference between the planets in our solar system. This is 2020 pixels wide and the biggest one I could find online. Can anyone link to a better quality version so the print has more detail?

Lucy, our first mission to explore the Trojan asteroids around Jupiter, has arrived at @NASAKennedy to get ready for its October launch: https://t.co/oVAW0ZXd4k https://t.co/S7WuOx9kjL

Is this m110? I was looking for m31, and at the time i saw this, and thought is was andromeda. I later realized that m31 should look much bigger. But i am not sure.

Telescope best for viewing galaxies? How do you process an image?

I am looking forward to get some interesting answers. So, my birthday is coming up early October. I really want a telescope, and it looks like the Celestron Nexstar 127SLT is the best for what I’m looking for. I just want to be able to see a galaxy. But, I understand to do this I need to process an image. But, I have no idea how to process an image. That would be so cool if I could figure it out! I’ve scrolled through this subreddit and you guys have taken and processed some absolutely fantastic images. Would it tell me how When I get the telescope? I have a laptop, but not a computer. Also, If anyone thinks there might be a better option out there for me, I’d love to hear about it. Budget: below $1000. It might seem weird I’m asking this before I get the telescope, but I’m just the type of person to like to know things in advance.

Looking for some help with resources to continue learning please

I am learning as much as I can, but the two things that are currently eluding me are atmospheric transparency reports (expected transparency for upcoming nights) and (I’m sorry I don’t even know what to call this) but when and where the moon and planets will rise. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly is a “deep field” image? These mesmerizing images aren’t just beautiful to look at – we can discover so much about the history of our universe, too! In this video, learn more about what we’re seeing when we look at a deep field. #DeepFieldWeek https://t.co/q3oVCx093c

Sometimes we actually do have to reinvent the wheel. To prevent the wheels of the Lunar Roving Vehicle from sinking in the soft lunar soil, the tire was made from zinc-coated piano wire with titanium treads riveted in a chevron pattern: https://t.co/81K1y9VVnt #Apollo50 https://t.co/V0GxnQ8uwZ
