entanglement feels like something we discovered way too early and is still very obscure (at least to me). But saying something's future influence the past is on another level.
I need to read how they confirmed that because I don't see how it could be done. Any changes would by definition just be it's future.

In case anyone wonders why I never post planets with my little telescope, this is why. It's 'supposed' to be Saturn. No need to tell me, I know it looks like shit. The other pic is NGC 925 a galaxy 30 million light years away.
The galaxy looks amazing.

yeah thanks. I *may* have posted it before. I made a list of items I've shot and it wasn't on that list. However when I went to stack the photos I saw I already had a folder from a year ago with the same name.

here's a tiny picture I took of Saturn with my DSLR and a 600mm lens (i may have posted it before also) :
saturne.png

This is really like "hey look this is Saturn, let's see if I can grab a pic of it", handheld. However, the settings of the camera are similar to a shot in a room during a day.
ISO 400
Aperture f/6.3
Duration : 1/60 s

I'm not sure how deep you can adjust the settings on your seestar ? But it's worth trying, I'm sure you could get all the moons (i didnt get any unfortunately)

There are no settings unfortunately. Its a fixed unit , all the pics/images are processed via software. They keep messing with the firmware, before the one I posted it would not even let me stack images. I didn't buy it to post pics of planets.

I had the below telescope that was way too big / advanced for me. And it took me and my wife to set it up. Head weighted 80lbs. After I would get it aligned / dialed in my back would be on fire so much I would need to stop. It got to the point I sold it. I produced about the same quality of Saturn pic as you, maybe a little bit bigger, and yeah you could get some of the moons.

Attached pics of the Seestar on my camera tripod (with a balancing head) and my old Meade 12" telescope. I'm standing beside it to give you an idea of it's size.
