Aurora overhead in Shrophire, UK at 4am today, a watery sky made it very diffuse, yet it made for an unusual moon halo looking south east #aurora #astronomy #spaceweather

Another process of Andromeda, Messier 31, our galactic neighbour, as it was 2.3 million years ago If it was bright enough to see in the night sky, it would be as long as six moons side by side. #astronomy #astrophotograpy

Last nights view of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon over Shropshire, a dwarf3 smartscope close up view and 50mm dslr views mixing it up with starlinks as it heads towards the sun #comet #astronomy 🔭

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is near the star Epsilon Boötis (Izar) early this evening. Catch it low to the west as soon as it gets dark. It sets around 22:00 UT (23:00 BST). The comet could be naked eye visible and will be a fine sight in binoculars or a telescope. #Astrophotography #Astronomy

A night of two Comets C/2025 A6 Lemmon and the much greener comet C/2025 R2 Swan seen on 21.10.2025 from my Shropshire garden ☄️☄️ #Astrophotography #astronomy

M33 Triangulum, the third largest member of our local group of galaxies and just a little further at 2.73 million light years than M31 at 2.2 million light years #astronomy #astrophotograpy #smarttelescope #dwarf3

A few of September's astro highlights with the dwarf3 smartscope. The collage contains Andromeda galaxy, the Coathanger, the Teddy Bear, Pacman, Horsehead & Flame & Dark Shark nebula Its an amazing device👍 #smarttelescope #astrophotography 🔭

Hidcote Manor, Gloucestershire, a beautiful place to stop for a visit in the Cotswolds. #photography #nationaltrust #photohour

M31, Andromeda Galaxy our closest galactic neighbour at 2.5 million light years away Every star you see is in our own milkyway #astronomy #astrophotography 🔭 #dwarf3 #smartscope

Fortunatley, after a long wait, the moon found the gap My first view this cycle and its 12.5% lit waxing crescent #astronomy #moon 🔭

This is Caldwell 11, the bubble nebula that really looks like its name when zoomed in. With the nearby scorpion cluster, M52, also in frame on the left and NGC7538 emission nebula on the right, home to a protostar that is the size of 300 solar systems!!! (wiki) #astronomy #astrophotograpy

This is the crescent nebula C27 located at the heart of the constellation of Cygnus, Formed by strong stellar wind of HD192163, a Wolf Rayet star, a hot old massive star rapidly losing mass. #astronomy #astrophotograpy

M8, the lagoon nebula, first time I've imaged this, Its the 2nd brightest nebula in the night sky, it was only 11 degrees high and doesn't get much higher for me, so I'm pretty pleased with how the Dwarf 3 smartscope caught this, all in just 9 minutes 30 seconds of data #astronomy 🔭 #smarttelescope

The little #Dwarf3 #smartscope has been busy in July, and even under a full moon the scope has been superb and such a joy to use 👍 The Heart and Soul nebulas. The Elephants Trunk nebula and Pacman nebula Processed in Dwarflabs Stellar Studio, PSexpress and Snapseed #Astrophotography #Astronomy

The Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest intergalactic neighbour at 2.5 million light years distant, as it rushes towards our own Milky Way to merge in 4.5 billion years (wiki). 1hr 56 minutes of data from the Dwarf3 info in alt #astronomy #astrophotography

As @sjbastro.bsky.social @salopchris.bsky.social and @davidbflower.bsky.social have posted, we're heading into Noctilucent Cloud season. These are about 50 miles high, made of ice and other space dust matter Even in big cities (like London) they can be visible as these images prove. #astronomy

Noctilucent cloud season is underway. If you have clear skies in the UK over the next 8-10 weeks, look north 60-90 minutes after sunset or before sunrise, look for bright white lacey clouds, these are rare clouds 50 miles high, pic is from 2021 #nlc #noctilucent #weather #astronomy #stormhour

The western veil, or the witches broom nebula, NGC6960, another component of the huge veil complex in Cygnus. 2hrs 22 minutes of data 60secs 60gain, with stella studio and snapseed for processing. #astronomy #astrophotograpy #dwarf3

The Eastern Veil, NGC6992 and NGC6995, just part of the Veil nebula in Cygnus, a supernova remnant from 10k-20k years ago #dwarf3 #astronomy #astrophotograpy 🔭

A few snaps of Tuesday's moon rise, a beautiful colour. 98.5% waning gibbous #Flowermoon #StormHour #astronomy🔭

A bright white nearly full moon in a dark blue sky this Wednesday evening over Shropshire, UK #astronomy 🔭

A few images off the Dwarf 3 smartscope from the last two weeks a few issues around setting up in eq mode, frustrating at times, but it's a learning curve, a great little scope. Can't wait to try it out on some of the larger nebulas. All images are out of the unit #astronomy 🔭

There was a partial solar eclipse here in the UK today, here's a timelapse of the first 80 minutes, clouds unfortunatley spolt the rest. Equipment Skywatcher 80ED refractor and Nikon D7500 dslr using Seymour solar filter. #astronomy #astrophotograpy #partialsolareclipse

A few shots/Video of Mondays Space X Falcon rockets 2nd stage excess fuel dump over Shropshire, UK last night after it deployed its classified Satellite #astronomy #spaceflight

It's #Saturn ring-plane crossing day! A once in a 13-15 yr event when Saturn's rings are edge on, as viewed from Earth, making them appear to disappear! I'm so infuriated that the Sun is in the way meaning no-one will see it! 😡 We'll just have to imagine it 😞 👇The last time it was seen in 1995. 🔭🧪

Only 2 days of the year does the sun set behind this tree, (when viewed from the garden), and only when the weather is right, today it was 😎 #SpringEquinox #loveukweather #StormHour #sunset

I think this was a chiff chaff in garden? #birds #ukbirds
