Why post a static image of the Orion nebula when you can zoom in on the Trapezium to music? This video reveals how to use Apple's Keynote software to create an Instagram/Facebook/Tiktok friendly video with zooming, music, and transitions.

If you are in the market for astrophotography equipment, I encourage you to consider Agena Astro.
They have a wide variety of telescopes, mounts and related gear in stock, and I have found they provide honest, expert advice. If you use this link to their website:
