  1. It cleared up a bit out of nowhere at Kielder #Starcamp last night. We all went running out to set up telescopes that were covered up because the previous forecast was rubbish 😂

    I rested my iPhone on the bridge, took a quick 10-second exposure of the #MilkyWay - look at how many stars!! And this is on a mobile phone. Amazing. Hoping we get a chance to properly fire up the telescope tonight, and fingers crossed for the rest of the week. #astro #stargazing #DarkSkyPark #LightPollutionSucks

  2. The sky over the #Lauwersmeer National Park (np-lauwersmeer.nl/english-info) in the Netherlands tonight which is also an International #DarkSkyPark: darksky.org/places/lauwersmeer - 60 seconds with ISO 1600 at f/2.8 straight up with Cassiopeia accidentally centered and the #AndromedaGalaxy in the field. See x.com/cosmos4u/status/18448821 and x.com/cosmos4u/status/18448833 and x.com/cosmos4u/status/18448838 for more - the SQM reading was 20.9 to 21.0, not as good as it can get, perhaps because of lots of humidity in the air.

  3. Opening Friday 22nd March at BottleWorks, Wild Intrigue is exhibiting "Noctalgia: Dark Skies Matter", created by Ouseburn-based artist Bethan Maddocks.

    Exhibition details at wildintrigue.co.uk/event/nocta
