Well no Bortle 2 sky tonight #Aurora #NorthernLights

More from tonight’s #aurora

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?

#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.

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

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!

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!

I'm working on Galaxy #C12 the fireworks galaxy, 22 million light years from #earth With another clear night forecast for tonight, going to get more data for proper post processing, this is just using the #ASIAIR app. #Astrophotography #space

C12, also known as NGC 6946 or the Fireworks Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cepheus. Its nickname comes from its high rate of supernova explosions, which have been observed multiple times over the past century. Details in Alt

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 David Blanchflower BSc Liverpool Astronomical Society Brendan Martin 🇪🇺💙 BBC Sky at Night Magazine TheCosmosCorner
