Sometimes walking in the countryside you get a feeling you're being watched

Some fungi from this morning's walk in woods

Lots of these borehole pipes appeared in the local fields recently, guessing they're to monitor groundwater prior to covering the area in houses

Lovely (if a tad chilly) evening at the @midsandeastnt.bsky.social Belton House lights

Great day catching up with friends at #Grantham 'Land of Hops & Glory' Beer Festival in St Wulfram's and sampling the ales of course

Venus in a clear blue dawn sky this morning, makes a change from wind and rain

Most weeks for past few years I've past this familiar tree on my walk, today something is very wrong 😥

Managed to see end of lunar eclipse when clouds finally cleared #Grantham #astrophotography

Here is 13 hrs of Ha data from my latest work-in-progress, “The Flying Dragon Nebula” in Cygnus. I did a quick process & removed the stars in PixInsight. Still need to capture RGB and maybe some SII but so far so good. Imaged from my yard with a Stellarvue SVX80 and 0.8 reducer. 🔭 #Astrophotography

Veil Nebula 2 panel mosaic, each 20x240s, ASI2600MC, SW Esprit 100ED First go at doing mosaic using NINA, processed and merged in PixInsight. Full size is nearly 200MP 😬 telescopius.com/pictures/vie... #Astrophotography

This afternoon's project, making an accessory plate to mount new Evoguide 50 on 100ED to keep it clear of the Mele PC, did consider a 'proper' plate but £50 buys a lot of alu bar 😀

1 hour on the Crescent Nebula on 8/5/25 with Celestron C11, Starizona Hyperstar and using ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera and IDAS NBZ UHS filter.

Bit late to the party but thought I'd have a look for supernova #SN2025rbs last night in between the clouds, some saying it's the bright star to the left of the NGC7331 core but not 100% convinced #astrophotography

Holyyyyyy....I am a tired exhausted puddle on the floor. What a day for @vrubinobs.bsky.social! This observatory is incredible. Highly, HIGHLY recommend joyscolling around Rubin's Skyviewer. I quite like this galaxy - which is your favorite? 🔭🧪 skyviewer.app

Interesting project smstone0.github.io#/uk-map

If you're planning to visit the Giant's Causeway, feel free to drop your coins into a donation box rather than the rocks. 😉

Definitely got that last day of the hols feeling, I hear it's 13 feels like 10 and raining back home 😥

Glorious sunrise over the mountains this morning. Celebrating 25 years of marriage at place where we first met

Day out in Corfu Town, 30°C, like everywhere in Corfu it's changed so much since last visit 28 years ago, closer to benidorm than mama mia now, beer's not 27p anymore either

It's a hard life 🏝🍺😀

The Whirlpool galaxy, or Messier 51. I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I'm very excited regardless to share. It was my personal goal this spring to get this one photographed. 🔭WO Flurostar 132 📷ASI2600MC Air #astrophotography #photography #astronomy #space @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

On March 31, 1972, the USSR sent a probe off to Venus, but it malfunctioned & never made it past Earth orbit. Later this week, it will come crashing back down. The probe, known as Kosmos 482, will likely reach the ground intact, but the risk is very low. 🧪🔭 www.colorado.edu/today/2025/0...
