Well, this will be my last post on X. This platform is not a nice place to be, and as like MANY others, I am moving to #BlueSky using @paramountobs.bsky.social if you choose to move and continue following #Astrophotography #astronomy #Space

I am so pleased to get this image of #cometC2023A3 ☄️ I only gad a short window and managed to get 7x30's subs. It's definitely gaining altitude in the early evening, so I will be checking each night and hopefully seeing how it changes as it receeds. @CathAdams1973

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. @AstroBackyard @DavidBflower @LiverpoolAS @HaSungazer @skyatnightmag @TheCosmosCorner

I'm not sure what's going on here, but my stars, whilst colourful, they just look weird! I used #Siril to recompose them, as without the adjustment, they looked over saturated, need to figure out what's going on. #ZWO #ASI533MCPRO #Astrophotography

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… @LiverpoolAS @DavidBflower @AstroBackyard @skyatnightmag

Took the time to stack and process one of my images from the night, M51. 12x300s (1 hour) Celestron C11 ASI533MCPRO Optolong L-Pro filter As galaxy seasons, looking to add more data to build the detail. #astronomy #Space

So pleased to have managed to get a night of imaging done last night. starting with my favourite Galaxy M51. I have a plan to image a host of galaxies to process through the summer months. #Astrophotography #MoonHour

So planning for the #Eclipse2024 and it's like the weather gods just don't want us to see this event. 😩

More time re-processing old data while the weather is not playing ball. Decided to redo M27 running through #Siril I am quite pleased with the result today, colours are better and less noisy.

Whilst it's raining so much, I've taken some time to reprocess some old M31 data, brushing up my skills using #Siril I am finding different screens show so differently, anyone else find this and how do you deal with it? #Astrophotography
