Last night’s #Moon (22 April 26). Taken by me using a 4 inch refractor and a ZWO ASI 174MM camera. Software: SharpCap, Autostakkert, ICE, Registax and Gimp. #astrophotography #photography

The #Moon is currently a Waxing Gibbous and looks stunning tonight. If you get a chance, go out and take a look, weather permitting of course. I took this photo with my Canon 700D DSLR and 600mm lens. Slightly sharpened and cropped in Gimp. #astrophotography #photography

If you have a clear SW/W horizon you should be able to spot the Moon, Saturn, Mercury and Venus after sunset. A nice photo opportunity. #astrophotography #photography

@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 📷

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 📷

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
