@epiphanyappleseed.bsky.social Spotted this in November’s edition of the #skyatnightmagazine 👏

I see Maggie Aderin-Pocock is giving the Christmas Lecture at the Royal Institution this year. Should be good. #astronomy

Had a couple of bets on the horses today, one at York and the other at Naas in Ireland. Won £68 altogether. Happy days. 😀 #sport #horseracing #betting 🏇

I've had a go at imaging the Dumbbell Nebula (M27) using my #Seestar S50 smart telescope. This is just 50 minutes integration. I will add more data in due course. Processed with Siril, GraXpert, Starnet++ and Gimp. #astrophotography #PhotoHour #photography

I shall reach the grand old age of 65 this coming Sunday. I’ve decided I need a new hobby so I’ve bought a #Yamaha #Pacifica #electricguitar 112v. Time to make some noise. 😀🎸 #musicsky #rockmusic #guitar

Those of you who own a #Seestar may like to know that there is a firmware update available to download. Details below. #astronomy #astrophotography

I’ve been learning how to use Siril, GraXpert, Starnet++ and Gimp to process Astro images. I downloaded free Seestar data from Abdur Astro’s YouTube channel and this is my first attempt at processing the Orion Nebula (M42) using that data. 😊 #astrophotography #PhotoHour 📷

It’s been a while since I last posted a photo on here. This is today’s Sun in white light. Taken with a 4 inch refractor and ZWO ASI 174MM camera. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, ICE, Registax and Gimp. Some nice spots on view. #astrophotography #StormHour #PhotoHour 📷

@emily.space I’ve noticed the astronomy and astrophotography feeds have not been working on my phone since yesterday lunchtime although everything else on here is working. Is there a problem with these feeds? Is this something you can check or should I get in touch with Bluesky support? Thanks.

I’ve received a couple of red alerts from my #aurora app. Not much use during the daytime but if it keeps this up then tonight could be interesting. #astronomy #sun

Last night’s Moon. A partially cloudy sky here last night so for quickness I used the #Seestar S50 smart telescope instead of my usual gear. #astrophotography #PhotoHour #StormHour 📷

Last night’s Moon. 4 panel mosaic taken with a 4 inch refractor and ZWO ASI 662MC camera. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, ICE, Registax and Gimp. #astrophotography #PhotoHour #StormHour 📷

Today’s Sun in white light. AR 4079 is a large active area on its way round, see here. Imaged using a 4” refractor and ZWO ASI 174MM camera. X3 barlow lens for the close-up. SharpCap/Autostakkert/ICE/Registax/Gimp. #astrophotography #StormHour #sunspots #sun 📷

Just bought a useful addition to my solar imaging: a solar continuum filter which will boost contrast and cut atmospheric turbulence. All I need now is ☀️ #astrophotography

Todays Sun in white light. 2 panels taken with a ZWO ASI 174MM camera through a 4” refractor. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, ICE, Registax and Gimp. A much quieter Sun than recently but some nice spots on view nonetheless. #astrophotography #PhotoHour #StormHour 📷

A quick photo of tonight’s 95% Moon, taken with a #Seestar S50 smart telescope and with a little tinkering on my iPhone to create a mineral Moon. #astrophotography #Sciart #PhotoHour 📷 #Moon

Some more lunar images taken last night. As before, the images were taken through a 4 inch refractor but this time I used a ZWO ASI 662 colour camera. Software : SharpCap, Autostakkert, Registax and Gimp. #astrophotography 📷 #PhotoHour

Last night’s 76% Moon. 2 panels stitched. Taken through a 4 inch refractor with a ZWO ASI 174 mono camera. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, ICE, Registax and Gimp. #astrophotography 📷 #PhotoHour

The Moon looked stunning last night. This is a 4 panel mosaic and was taken through a 4” refractor with a ZWO ASI 662MC camera. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, ICE, Registax and Gimp. #astrophotography 📷 #PhotoHour

Just a quick photo of tonight’s Moon in a twilight sky. I took this with my Seestar S50. Very quick and easy to do. #astrophotography 📷

Today’s Sun in white light. Some very nice sunspot groups visible, especially AR 4048 (see bottom left of close-up image). Taken with a 4” refractor and ZWO ASI 174MM/662MC cameras. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, ICE, Registax & Gimp. #astrophotography #PhotoHour 📷

Three more photos of this morning’s partial solar #eclipse. 🌙 Taken with a Canon 700D DSLR through a 4 inch refractor. #astrophotography

Well, that’s pretty much it. The Moon is moving away now. What a wonderful sight . Started off cloudy here but it got better and better! Here’s to the next #eclipse #astrophotography

This as good as it gets. Maximum #eclipse at 33% here. Taken with a Seestar S50 #astrophotography

Very clear here over my location in Lincolnshire. Busy taking photos through my 4 inch refractor #eclipse #astrophotography

Here comes the Moon. The #eclipse has started. This is through my #Seestar S50 #astrophotography

Getting ready for the partial solar #eclipse #astrophotography

It looks as though the Blaze Star didn’t blaze last night. 😀 #astronomy #nova

It was clear last night so I tried imaging my first deep-sky object with my new #Seestar #S50. This is the Double Cluster in Perseus. Just a single 8 min exposure and a bit of tinkering with my iPhone. #astrophotography #PhotoHour 📷

Tried my #Seestar #S50 for the first time today. The Sun seemed an obvious target, see here. Using the telescope was a doddle. So happy I bought one. #astrophotography. #ThePhotoHour 📷

I’ve been off Bluesky since September last year. Unfortunately life sometimes gets in the way and I’ve had a few problems to sort out. In the meantime I’ve bought a Seestar S50 to add to my astronomical armoury. Now looking forward to getting back into #astrophotography 😀

Had a go at creating an inverted image of yesterday’s Sun using ImPPG. See here. Quite happy with the result. You can see several prominences around the Sun’s limb. #astrophotography

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #4,886,428!

Last night’s 97% waxing gibbous Moon. Taken on 16 September 2024 at 19h 52m UT with a Canon 700D DSLR and 600mm lens. Some minor post processing using Gimp. #astrophotography 📷

Seeing conditions average today but here is the Sun in hydrogen alpha. Taken by me on 17 Sept 2024 at 12h 35m UT using a Lunt 60 solar telescope. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, Registax and Gimp. #astrophotography. 📷

Attached my new ‘scope onto the mount this morning and got the finder scope set up properly. Looking good. All I need now is some clear skies. 😀 #astronomy #astrophotography

Another couple clear nights, another astrophoto. The Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146), about 14 hours in LRGB using my C8 and Starizona reducer with an ASI533MM Pro camera. More details on Astrobin: www.astrobin.com/0g2va9/ #Astrophotography

This arrived today: a Celestron 8” Edge HD. Apologies for the 🌧️🌧️😀🔭 #astrophotography

Today’s quiz: what’s in the box? 😀🔭 #astrophotography

Woke up early to clear skies. Got CFF135 🔭 out and took this video of the SE corner of the Moon (North is up). The elliptical crater is Schiller, and the eastern rim of Clavius is disappearing into the night. 60s video stacked in PlanetarySystemStacker. #astrophotography

First light (and then some) with the RC6 from about a month or so ago. M20, the Trifid nebula. #astrophotography

Just thought I’d mention that I uploaded my Sun photo I posted on here yesterday to the EarthSky website last night. Pleased to say the photo has made it to their community photo section. First time I’ve ever submitted one of my Astro pics anywhere. 😀 🔭

Lovely weather here today and plenty of activity on the Sun’s photosphere. See here. Photo taken at 11h 05 UT on 29 July 2024 using my 102mm refractor and ZWO ASI 174MM camera. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, ICE, Registax and Gimp. #astrophotography 📷

Went out at 4am this morning. The sky was clear and blue and it was very calm. The #Moon was a waning gibbous high in the SE. I took this photo with a Canon 700D DSLR and 600mm lens. Processed with Imppg and Gimp. #astrophotography 📷

I went out at midnight last night. The Moon looked stunning and displayed a beautiful colour low over the SE horizon. See here. ⬇️ I took this photo with a Canon 700D DSLR and 600mm lens. I’ve also included a greyscale version. Taken at 23h 10m UT on 22 July 2024 #astrophotography 📷

Moon and Antares on Thursday night. Im not having much time lately, but this was so beautiful to see and capture ☺️ 🔭📷📸 #astrophotography #photography #moon
