Problem with camera settings

I just checked my camera and maybe I haven't been happy with results because I've always been using Adobe RGB instead of sRGB, could be really cause a big impact? In addition to that, should I also have peripheral illum correction on or off along with with digital lens optimizer? Thanks for any help

What interesting objects in the sky can I see with just binoculars?

Today in 1916, Robert H. Goddard needed financial support to develop a sounding rocket and turned to the @Smithsonian for the request. It worked, and he received a $5,000 grant. This began a long relationship between Goddard and the Smithsonian: https://t.co/NWGVPjVwSG https://t.co/kG48K3gp7f

Single page starmap

I'm new to stargazing, just got a 10x50 binoculars, I'm looking for a single/double (Northern/southern hemispheres) page starmap that I can download and print. I already did a lot of searching, but was able to find only ones that are more than 10 pages, I probably do not need details at that depth. I know we have a lot of apps, but I want something on print. I'm looking for something like this, but this one got a low resolution: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Stargazing/comments/mw41j2/i\_created\_my\_own\_star\_map/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stargazing/comments/mw41j2/i_created_my_own_star_map/)

Starter equipment for super smart aspiring astronomer

Hi all. Long story short. I’m looking for recommendation for the telescope for my 9 year old son Adam. Adam is super smart, he loves technology and space. I have been researching but feel a little lost. Ideally we re looking to purchase something long term for him and .. myself 😅. Price below $1K. He has a iPhone phone an SLR camera. Ideally if he can photograph his findings. I really don’t know what to look at spec wise and what brands offer he best quality. Please help. Thanks in advance

A NASA spokesperson confirms the solar array on the Landsat 9 Earth observation satellite has fully deployed, allowing the spacecraft to start generating its own electricity. https://t.co/VuRlxX8oxI
