WOW!!! Tap on the photo and check out the Comet my mate Tyson captured tonight and give his page a follow!

I would like to introduce Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS), a long-period visitor from the Oort Cloud that brightened to potential naked-eye visibility in April 2026. It reached perihelion, or its closest point to the Sun, on April 19, and its closest approach to Earth on April 26. It is best viewed by the southern hemisphere in late April/early May, just after sunset. I captured this stunning comet through my telescope just west of Kilcoy. Don't expect to see a massive bright comet in the sky; instead, look to the west, locate the constellation of Orion, and then move down towards the horizon slightly. Use a pair of 7x50 binoculars. The image above is a 10-minute and 10-second exposure. The comet will be visible all this week, but it will get fainter each night. Good luck, and I hope you all get to see this for yourselves. Cheers, Tyson. 🔭

Recently I photographed a roll of film in and around Gatton on my Hasselblad Xpan 2 panoramic film camera.

I had attached the 30mm lens which allowed you to shoot a diagonal field of view 94 degrees wide.

It’s a very cool camera with only 5500 worldwide. Definitely worth watching a video or 2 about this camera on YouTube if interested.

Once I get the film scanned and uploaded onto the computer I will share some of the images.

One of the Angels of the Sky flew past me today at home as I just happened to have the Canon 500mm f/4 lens on.
I could hear this chopper coming (wind assisted) when it was 24km away flying over Wivenhoe Pocket.
This is only a low res photo for Facebook.

If you quickly go for a look to the East this morning you will see these three planets appearing close together making a perfect triangle.

On Saturday the final (4th) round of the annual Gatton Jubilee Golf Club Championships was held for 2026.
As I was playing my round of golf in the morning, I decided to take my camera gear with and photograph some of the last groups for the day that were playing their rounds in the afternoon.
Congratulations to all the winners for each grade and a special Congrats to Dylan Kallinicos who was crowned the 2026 Club Champion.
