Not the best conditions, but I was imaging until 4:30 this morning, and I absolutely loved every second, with just me and our amazing universe. 🤩More of my pics here: www.flickr.com/photos/eagle...

Crikey! Own up! Who arranged this eclipse on one of the hottest days? That heat was a killer, but eclipse was good fun. Neighbours trees didn't interfere too much.

We're ready for later, but I can swap the glasses for a 3-bedroom house, if anyone needs them. 😂 You'll need to wear safety glasses in the UK throughout as it's a large partial eclipse from here. But you can use a colander to project the image. Maximum eclipse just after 7pm BST.

Another couple of images taken a couple of nights ago. If you'd like more details or to see more of my other images, please visit my Flickr Site: www.flickr.com/photos/eagle...

I finally got a night to do some imaging, and despite being a bit murky, I captured this before going to bed. Comet 220P /McNaught after brightening.

A fantastic free Space Event is happening in Wolverhampton next month. Please come along and enjoy the day! Please share this post, thank you

I've been having a play this evening. I've produced a nice GUI for using RC-Astro's CLI Xterminator tools that's just been released. Still tweaking, but it's getting there. As if I don't have enough to get on with. 😂

I found out at the last minute that an 11th-magnitude asteroid, 1997 NC1, was going to pass by us over the next few nights. I quickly set up the SeeStar S30 Pro and took a few shots of its position in the sky in Lyra. ⬇️

The Snake Nebula (Barnard 72) and surrounding dark nebulae in Ophiuchus. Taken from La Palma, 19th May 2026. Sharpstar 61EDPH II and ASI 4400MC.

Anticrepuscular rays spotted on the morning of the 14th of May at La Palma.

Milky Way panorama taken from La Palma with a SeeStar S30 Pro last week.

The Cats Paw and lobster nebula in Scorpius. Taken from La Palma with a SeeStar S50 Pro, processed using PixInsight and Affinity.

Continuing the equine theme, this is the Dark Horse Nebula. The Pipe Nebula on the left makes one of the horse's back legs.

What an amazing area of sky. So much going on here. It's a pity Antares and Rho Ophiuchi are so low in the sky from the UK. ☹️

Nebulosity around Messier's 8 and 20, The Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae in Sagittarius. Taken from La Palma last week using a SeeStar S30 Pro. Processed using PixInsight and Affinity.

Just had a week in La Palma. We had some great skies, but disappointment in the place we stayed at. I did manage to get some nice images with the gear I managed to take with me. I'll post more about it as soon as I've finished processing them all.

It's publication day for Mastering the Multiverse, the latest instalment of the Supervillain Academy series from @dkbooks.bsky.social! Black holes, time travel, wormholes, dark matter, and the big one: do we actually live in a multiverse? Available everywhere books are sold 😀🧪🔭

That's been fun, trying to find new images in the Artemis II images to produce stereo images. These two work really well together.

The latest 3.2 version of Affinity now has new Autostretch filters for astrophotography. A very quick play doesn't seem to give as much flexibility or better results than Tone Mapping, but further experiments might produce better results.

We've just got back from a relaxing holiday in Hurghada. I took a day trip out to Luxor to see some amazing ancient sites I've wanted to see since I was a child. I could even whisper into King Tut's ear. www.flickr.com/photos/eagle...

It's been an amazing couple of weeks for me. We sent people back around the Moon. How cool is that? This is my favourite image they took, which I reprocessed. Want to see more? www.flickr.com/photos/eagle...

Congratulations to the Artemis II crew on their safe return from their amazing and successful mission. You and everyone else involved has made this 64 year old feel like an excited 7 year kid again. I'll be admiring these amazing images for hours. Onwards and upwards... 🚀 🧑‍🚀

No words from me from now on...

I'll ignore all the Rubbish AI slop currently appearing online and concentrate on the real images being released. My appropriate soundtrack for tonight will be The Song of Distant Earth. It also brings back happy memories of my first visit imaging at COAA many years ago.

Now that's what we're waiting for. 🤩

Aren't orbital mechanics beautiful? This is the path the Orion Capsule will follow when it and the Moon reach their rendezvous point.

They are approaching one another fast now. I've waited a long time for us to revisit the Moon, and it happens later today. 😍

On the left is my best image of Mare Orientale, just on the Moon's western limb. I am so in awe of the view the Orion Crew will have of this huge impact feature later today. It is a huge bullseye-shaped lunar sea as shown in the simulation on the right. Go, go Artemis II.
