Quick IPhone snap of three planets brightly shining in this morning’s Northern Hemisphere skies.
Venus is rising in the southeast, and Jupiter & Mars are close together this morning in the south. #LookUp #Astrophotography
Well, I just had to pull the car over to catch it before the murk swallowed her up. Sunset earlier this evening. #ThePhotoHour #Sunset
Orion, Pleiades, Taurus rising over the gaff tonight. Raw 10sec exposure on IPhone14. #Astrophotography
Saturn, in poorish atmospheric conditions. Imaged from my patio in Ireland, Oct 24th.
16” Dob, ZWOASI224mc, Barlow, ADC. #Astrophotography #Saturn #Telescopes
Earth’s moon, followed by the planets Mars and Jupiter, rising just before 2am Monday. Quick snap while packing away the Dob after a session on Saturn. #Astrophotography @ThePhotoHour

506 x 20sec exposures taken overnight, reveal our largest nearest neighbouring galaxy, Andromeda (M31). Impressed with the SeeStarS50s smart-scope’s capabilities. The galaxy’s core and dust lanes appearing. (M32) and (M110) also feature. #LookUp #Telescope #Astrophotography

A little blue reflection nebulosity, to start the day, after a clear night on the gorgeous Pleiades star cluster. #SeeStarS50 #Astrophotography @ThePhotoHour
Saturn, looking special, from Ireland.
Oct 3. (Faint hint of Rheas above the planet’s north limb.)

I’m guessing this was a “sun dog”. Appeared to the southeast of the sun. Lovely colours stretched out and defo not a rainbow. Canon 600D, 55-250mm.

Lunar occultation of Jupiter this morning. 40X video of the moon covering Jupiter and its moons and then Jupiter and moons re-emerging.
Another view of Saturn last Saturday morning, from southern Ireland.

Chuffed with this data on Saturn, early hours of Oct 3rd, from my patio, Ireland (mid-west). Rare enough (average to fair) seeing in the atmosphere + 16” scope, ZWO ASI224mc cam, Barlow (x2), ADC.

Some gorgeous colours around the moon last night caused by its light meeting thick moisture in the air. Munster, Ireland.

Saturn, in hazy seeing conditions last weekend. Great views though in the eyepiece.

Cruising over the moon in my 16 inch SkyWatcher GT Dobsonian telescope. Look at those mountain peaks sticking up out of the main crater and casting tall shadows on the lunar surface.
