Lesser-known-fact: the summer #solstice is a moment in time that delivers the longest day/shortest night in the North. At 9:24am (BST) the North Pole will be at its most-tilted towards the Sun. Me & the druids will be on #BBCR4 Broadcasting House later on to celebrate 🤗🔭🧪 📷: National Maritime Museum

Happy Summer Solstice (for the Northern Hemisphere). #nights_drawing_in 🙂

A more detailed view from Posidonius up to the lunar limb. #CFF160 🔭, #TeleVue 2.5x Powermate, #Touptek ATR585MM mono camera. Best 250 frames from 2500 frame video, IR pass filter, stacked and sharpened in AstroSurface, minor curve edits in PixInsight. #astrophotography

Absolutely! We ordered loads from @gostargazing.bsky.social for the outreach event @astronomyedinburgh.bsky.social will be holding on Calton hill. They were all delivered promptly!

Important advice on safely observing the August #eclipse, and choosing safe eclipse glasses. We sourced our eclipse sunglasses through @gostargazing.bsky.social www.astronomyedinburgh.org/2026/06/15/o... 🔭

@astroroyalscot.bsky.social's Nature article on proposed funding cuts to astronomy research has prompted a number of us to write to our MPs encouraging them to attend the June 15 meeting: www.astronomyedinburgh.org/2026/06/05/p...

And here is a video of the ISS transit taken with the #TeleVue NP101 🔭. 35 frames extracted from the 2 minute video, and converted to .mp4 at a slower rate. This is roughly 1s elapsed time, and the ISS moves from right to left. #astrophotography

Just ordered some #eclipse glasses from @gostargazing.bsky.social for @astronomyedinburgh.bsky.social outreach on August 12th. They only ship to the UK, but if you're looking to order some here's the link: gostargazing.co.uk/solar-glasse...

A fascinating talk on how modern astronomy has evolved. Well worth a watch at the link below. 🔭

The IAYC - one of the best ways to get young people into astronomy - needs funding! I know *so* many students who speak so highly of it, check out their fundraiser below for more info ⤵️ 🔭

We are nearly 20% of the way to our funding goal! If 100 amazing people donate €15, we will have a tracking mount for the Bortle 2 skies at the IAYC 2026 🔭 gofund.me/0f14445af

#Seestar S50 🔭 collaboration. 39 hours of M101 data gathered this year and last year. Individual stacked subs combined weighted according to total exposure time. This image processed by @mikechristie.bsky.social. #astrophotography

🥳 Major milestone for the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scottish Dark Sky Observatory: architectural designs are now public and isn't she a beauty! Two 5m 🔭domes, observing deck, solar-panelled planetarium, exhibition area & cafe. Fingers crossed that planning permission gets approved! ℹ️: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 📷: arpl

Our winner of the Image of the Year competition 2025 has been announced: www.astronomyedinburgh.org/2026/01/10/i... 🔭 #astrophotography

M33 taken 3.1.26 from Newtongrange. SeeStar50 83 mins of 10sec exposures. Bright full moon gave large gradient across the image. Used Siril, ceramic, DeNoise and Lightroom. Some 2.9m light years away and the third largest galaxy in the local group.

A splendid cold walk to Fiddlers Gill to see the fab but rusting Victorian #Braidwood Telescope! Once part of the now long-gone Lanark Observatory, its optics are safe at the Lanark Museum. Sadly I see no hope in restoring this beauty tho, that's been long-abandoned in this field ☹️ #histsci 🔭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
