For #WingFriday on this #USGP weekend, a great view of the Circuit of The Americas from my British Airways #A350 flight back from AUS earlier this year. ✈️🏎️🇺🇸


Here’s my take on #comet Tsuchinsan/Atlas… imaged from Chingford NE London on 19 October with my StellaMira 90mm EDT & ZWO 533MC camera. Once the comet had set I turned the scope to image the ‘Pac Man’ nebula NGC281 In Cassiopeia. #Astrophotography BBC Sky at Night Magazine



Taking advantage of a rare clear night over NE London last week my Askar FMA180 scope was ready to capture images of the Double Cluster & California Nebula in Perseus, & the Flaming Star nebula in Auriga. #astrophotography BBC Sky at Night Magazine


So I decided to go for the complete lap, & here’s the result of a 31.6 million second (give or take a few!) exposure😀. Apparently we did get some sunny days this year! The SolarCan #SolarCan
