New Jupiter...
Finally some clear skies - has been abysmal for nearly 8 weeks now - have been slowly giving up hope. Also had a small disaster with the scope too the whole set up got rained on....

Jupiter...
Starting to look glorious - still not had many clear nights to actually try....
However getting the hang of the new scope, details look amazing vs the old scope....

Uranus...
Little attempt at Uranus earlier this month. Using the new scope. Not sure if I have managed a little detail on the surface. ...

The Comet that split - C/2025 K1 Atlas - is now in 3 parts....1 part has been given its own naming as K1-B.
Last night I got it, the two parts closer together are just about visible in my wide set up - if you pinch and zoom you can see it.
K1-b isnt visible in mine - must be quite faint or got removed as noise in the stacking.
The Comet is travelling so fast - might give it a longer run tonight and get a little timelapse. Its currently closer to us than the sun is - less than half the distance - its the close pass to the sun that has caused it to break up....

The Alien...
Ojects in Space sometimes look familiar, but other times very much Alien. Especially this one which is the opposite end of the Veil Nebula to the witches broom I posted recently....
This is the Eastern side, which to me looks like the head of Aliens ( A movie from the 80s for those young enough not to be familiar). ...
Natural colours are Red and Blue, but I took some artistic liberty with this version. ...

Wide load...
😍 wide load coming through.....hahah - Cygnus area of the milkyway is one of my favourties - and I have always wanted to do a wide capture using the astronomy camers rather than the Nikon. ...
Testing my portable wide field imaging set up for deep space. (forgot to take a pic of my set up), but I managed to guide the little tracker mount. ...
I used my old 294mc for this - with a 50mm lens and the Lenhance - this allowed me to test at home and reveal the milkyway that I would never get with just the Nikon and Lens at home. ...
Going to do another post on the actual nebula contained in this one. Its got several that I have had the telescope with recently. Can you spot the Witches Broom that I post a close up of? ...
Cant wait to take this out somewhere dark, looking forward to the crisp winter skies - this is 1.5hrs...

M101 - Pinwheel...
look at that - I did a thing - I got a galaxy and got it well. Galaxies have been a nemesis for ages, but with the new Astro camera I can do it. Even though I still have a small scope. ....
