So happy to get this shot of C/2023 A3
Need to do some cleaning up, but great to get 5 mins on this object, which is very low on the horizon from my location.

Hi followers, as Twitter/X continues to devolve and monestise, where are you moving to? Where's the place we should be looking?

With another clear night forecast for tonight, going to get more data for proper post processing, this is just using the #ASIAIR app.

#Jupiter and Io under excellent seeing conditions this morning. A wealth of detail is visible across the planet despite the small-ish apparent size currently. #astrophotography #telescope

This morning's view of the Red Planet #Mars, still rather distant. Good seeing conditions with Sinus Meridiani central on the disc.

I wouldn’t have thought this was possible 5 years ago. This photo of the Triangulum Galaxy wasn’t captured by Hubble, but by a 12” telescope from my suburban backyard. Space is much more accessible than you’d think.
This is formatted as a mobile wallpaper for you. More coming!

And finally, here's last night's view of #Saturn - perhaps my favourite image to date. Tethys can be seen in transit alongside its shadow, with Titan also close by. #astrophotography

You may have heard that tonight is your chance to see a rare 'blue supermoon'. A reminder that:
- The term 'Blue Moon' was invented in 1937 and has no astronomical significance.
- Supermoons look just like any other Full Moon
- Looking at the full Moon is always fabulous!

On such a beautiful day, if you like space, lie back & take a hour for some interesting conversation. Don't forget the sun block : bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001z5…

Did anyone else’s camera go a bit ‘odd’ at the onset of the auroral substorm tonight? As it *really* exploded in the sky (with rays at the zenith) my rear LCD display started flickering and showing text over the image. Wondered if it was an electrical effect from the aurora?
