See if you can spot Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon this evening
In the constellation of Bootes. This chart is at 19:00 on the 21st October to help you spot it. Prof Massey from the @royalastrosoc.bsky.social has put this video together for us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jJI...

I've got my "BigRig" running after 2 yrs off. 2 min exposures of Messier 27. Gone the "short exposure - many subs" method made popular by the Smart Telescope revolution. 4 days so-far. Full details on my website here: deep-sky.uk/astrophotogr...

Late to the party on this one, but WOW at the @vrubinobs.bsky.social images released yesterday. Stunning. Jaw-droppingly beautiful. Amazing.

Pepsi & Dexter waiting for their walkies. Unpatiently! Bribery with treats was required...

A smile for your Wednesday.
Dexter & Pepsi, my whippety-lurchery things having a well-deserved snooze after their walkies. #dogsofbluesky #lurchers #dogs #whippets
We tried boots ahead of the snow storm. 🥾
It’s was a no go. 🤣

Thousands of overlapping objects at various distances are spread across this field, including galaxies in a massive galaxy cluster, and distorted background galaxies behind the galaxy cluster. The background of space is black.

Hi Dan. I take it this is M0HOW?
The Bubble Nebula taken with my SeeStar S50 on the 27th September 2024. 375 x 10 second exposures stacked.
The ISS went over at 18:20 today, and I managed to capture it on my newly refurbished allsky camera.

How was the Crescent Nebula created? Looking like an emerging space cocoon, the Crescent Nebula, visible in the center of the featured image, was created by the brightest star in its center. A leading progenitor hypothesis has the Crescent Nebula beginning to form about 250,000 years ago. At that time, the massive central star had evolved to become a Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136), shedding its outer envelope in a strong stellar wind, ejecting the equivalent of our Sun's mass every 10,000 years. This wind impacted surrounding gas left over from a previous phase, compacting it into a series of complex shells, and lighting it up. The Crescent Nebula, also known as NGC 6888, lies about 4,700 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus. Star WR 136 will probably undergo a supernova explosion sometime in the next million years. Jigsaw Challenge: Astronomy Puzzle of the Day
