Star tracking as a hobby

When I was very young I fell for the stars. My uncle introduced me to astronomy and star tracking. I wanted to be a space explorer, too. I still imagine when I am tracking stars that I will journey to them.
Things came up in life that would make being an astronaut not possible.

I currently have a star tracker on my phone. On a night like tonight it's not possible to see the stars. So tech is where it's at.

Tonight I have my device propped on it's stand. I have it aimed at the Messier 45 cluster also known as the Pleiades or Seven Sisters. The prominent star being Alcyone. I wish I could take off in a light warp starship and explore.

I find this hobby relaxing. I use it to meditate and even pray.

It would be fantastic to travel to distant galaxies. Andromeda looks inviting!
