It's 3.52am. My sky is horrible. I'll try again tomorrow. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

Coming to the end of the day. I'm still alive, the world hasn't ended, people haven't floated into the clouds and I'll be attending Newcastle's match tomorrow night.

Trying out my new #Touptek ATR2600M mono camera on M33. This is the first 24 luminance images. I'll probably combine with some RGB data from last year once the sequence is finished. Scope #CFF135 🔭 on #TTS160 Panther mount. #astrophotography

If my sky is clear tomorrow from around 3am I plan to capture the constellation of Aries, the Pleiades and Aldebaran, and the constellation of Orion. Separate pictures. All depends on weather and whether I'm awake. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

I've just sent this picture to Astronomy Now magazine. 🔭 🧪

I fancy submitting one of my Pleiades pictures to Astronomy Now magazine. Thing is I took so many can't make my mind up which one to send. Especially from all the ones I posted here. 🔭 🧪

I am very sad to report that Harold "Dickie" Bird has died. Probably the greatest cricket umpire ever. A memorable performance at every match.

Apparently some people think the end of the world will happen tomorrow. It better not I've got a ticket for a Newcastle match on Wednesday. Also no large asteroid or comet is scheduled to hit the Earth this week. At least I haven't spotted any and I've had a clear sky. 🔭 🧪
