I've been mucking about with exposure (titter ye not!) - but not sure which of these is better? The yellowish one is on "sunset" setting, the other on "night scenery"... thoughts? #photo #photography #astrophotography #nightsky #moon #lunar

Jupiter by a waning gibbous Moon #astrophotography #moon #lunar #jupiter #nightsky #photo #photography

Thursday night is the last supermoon of 2025 (the Cold Moon) but we've got heavy cloud forecast! So I snapped it right quick, a day early. I'm quite pleased with the results - what d'ya reckon? #astrophotography #supermoon #fullmoon #coldmoon #moon #moonshot #photo #photography #nightsky #Manchester

Is it still a sign it's going to be cold, when there's a halo round the Moon? #Moon #astrophotgraphy #photography #photos #lunar #nightsky

Still rather pleased with these photos I took of seals at Great Orme in February... ya like them? #photos #photography #wildlifephotography #seals #sea #Wales #Llandudno #GreatOrme

Jupiter in Gemini (with Pollux) and the crescent Moon... #astrophotography #photo #photography #nightsky

Just organising photos of the Moon & planets from this autumn/winter - surprised how many came out OK with our light pollution! Here's a few, what do you think? 1 Corn Moon 2 Beaver Moon 3 Jupiter 4 Venus & waning crescent Moon #astrophotography #photos #moon #planets #nightskies

Duck in a flap...

Just spotted Jupiter over Manchester, lowdown towards the East, DESPITE our chronic light pollution! Pretty surprised to manage to get it on camera, as well... #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #planets #nightsky #Manchester

Anyone else volunteer at parkrun this week? I was on tokens, so had to wait till afterwards to get out on the course and spot some birds being cute/bonkers! #loveparkrun #ukrunchat #run #runner #birds #birdoftheday #photos #birdphotography @ukrunchat.bsky.social @chibargie.bsky.social

When cloud blocks out the Beaver, so you shoot the Moon a couple of days later... #Moon #FullMoon #BeaverMoon #Manchester #Astrophotography #Moonshot #Photography

Sunrise, the last morning before the clocks go back for winter! #photo #photography #photoftheday #sunrise #skyscape #clocks #daylightsaving

Anyone else managed to totally miss seeing comet Lemmon, due to cloudy night skies? On the plus side, it has been clear enough TWICE this week to see #Venus in the morning 😀📸 With the clocks going back this weekend, here's hoping for some better #skyscapes to come! #astrophotography #skies #photo

Great to see the Knavesmire Harriers out in force for the Yorkshire 10 Mile & Yorkshire Marathon today - and the Harriers, Acorns and Windmills cheering us on all round the course! Thank you guys 🙂 Also pretty pleased with my time on the 'fun' run lol! 😂😜 @ukrunchat.bsky.social #ukrunchat

It's too cloudy in Manchester to see the #HarvestMoon #FullMoon #SuperMoon - but thankfully, I took a few pics of it yesterday, just *before* it was full! #Astrophotography #photography #moon #skyscape #moonscape
