The Wizard Nebula (NGC7380). One of my favourite targets. Night darkness is getting shorter now so it was good to shoot a few clear hours last night. 165 minutes x 60 second exposures. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

The Full Moon (Blue Moon) is very low in the sky tonight. No chance of getting my scopes on it, especially as cloud is getting thicker too. It looks quite atmospheric through the trees I think. Sunday 31st May 2026

Star trails from last night using my Seestar S30 Pro. Unfortunately the sky brightened too much on the second image, but I did notice something interesting towards the top right. Could this be a meteor or is it just a satellite I wonder? Tuesday 26th/Wednesday 27th May 2026

Fantastic day at the BAA/SPA Back to Basics event in Newquay. Sadly the sun didn’t come out for us to use the solar scopes but it was a fantastic event with loads of great talks. My talk was well received, I had lots of people come up to ask my questions afterwards which was great ⭐️🌙🪐

Wednesday 29th April 2026 Star Trails imaged over 165 minutes Seestar S30 Pro I am absolutely blown away by this little scope, I have always loved star trails and this scope makes them so easy to do. #seestars

There’s still time to get a ticket for this fantastic event in Newquay, Cornwall this coming weekend. I’m one of the speakers at this event, I’ll be giving An Introduction to The Night Sky. Looking forward to a fabulous day and to spending some time by the sea!

I left my old phone outside last night in hope of catching some Lyrid meteors, this is the only possible one that it caught. It’s very faint, towards top left of the photo. Friday 24th April 2026

A repeat performance! First Quarter Moon in another beautiful blue sky this evening! #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

Billie takes his telescope monitoring duties very seriously, he paces around it whilst it’s imaging. Today’s Sun and Moon with my Seestar S50. Thursday 23rd April 2026

Hazy clouds around tonight but I managed to grab some more images with my Seestar S30 Pro and my S50. I sat out looking for Lyrids until well after midnight but had no luck. Wednesday 22nd April 2026

Billie has asked me to remind everyone that today is Earth Day and to get outside and enjoy the sunshine! He also wants to remind you to make sure you do your recycling properly to help save our beautiful home world.🌎

My Seestar S50 imaging the Sun whilst I work from home. Wednesday 22nd April 2026

Last night’s Galaxy images. Two of my favourite targets. Seeing wasn’t the best and the wind caused a fair few dropped frames but got there in the end. Thanks to my friends who helped removed the shocking satellite trails! Tuesday 21st April 2026

Our Sun Sunday 19th April 2026 Seestar S50 Just been using my Seestar to show some neighbours our beautiful Sun. They were amazed to find out all about Sunspots and their size. Proof, if needed, that smart scopes are great for a spot of astronomy outreach!

Two scopes, one target. M81 Bodes Galaxy M82 The Cigar Galaxy Vaonis Vespera II Seestar S30 Pro Both images straight off the scope. Image time 90 minutes Sunday 19th April 2026

Beautiful clear sky this evening, Venus looks stunning! Hoping the clear skies last as the skies get dark.

Looking forward to this next weekend! I have wanted to go here for many years and now I am finally going! Looking forward to meeting lots I’ve like minded people in the USA.

The sky wasn’t perfect last night but it was good enough to get some images with my Seestars. The lines on the California Nebula are from a tree outside my house, I need to stack the individual subs to get rid of that. Sunday 5th/ Monday 6th April 2026

A couple of hours a fairly clear skies allowed me to get my Seestar family out. The Moon - S50 Bodes Galaxy & The Cigar Galaxy - S50 The Pinwheel Galaxy - S30 (imaged cropped) Star Trails - S30 Pro Friday 3rd/Saturday 4th April 2026

Our beautiful Moon Friday 3rd April 2026 Seestar S50 As I take this image I’m also sat observing the Moon with my visual scope. I’m sitting here thinking how amazing it would be to be onboard Artemis II heading towards the Moon.
