So help me, "future-copters" or whatever you call these craft *are so cool*. As is the whole idea of a parachutist diving off of one. What's the story here? Honestly I never gave it much thought, but in the meantime, you can still enjoy my painting of "A moonslit airdrop".

The clouds have taken over again this week! Unfortunately, the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party for tonight, May 13th, is CANCELLED due to overcast skies. We know it's disappointing — we're bummed too! But clear skies are ahead, and we hope to see you out under the stars next week at the Westport Observatory. Stay tuned for updates!

Five clear nights during an unusually long stretch of good weather yielded my deepest and highest-quality image of Messier 101, the Pinwheel Galaxy, to date. Three sessions used the UHC filter on the RGB sensor, with two more marking the first light of my new ultra-narrowband H-alpha filter.

Messier 66 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo, located
approximately 36 million light-years away. It reaches its annual
culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed in early March.Part of the famous Leo Triplet, M66 features distorted spiral arms shaped
by gravitational interaction with neighboring galaxies.

Messier 65 is a spiral galaxy in Leo, ~35 million light-years away. Part of the Leo Triplet, it shows signs of tidal interaction with its neighbors and reveals intricate dust lanes through a telescope.

Out and About – Night Sky
Here are a few images of the night sky that I have collected as of late 2024. Included are some Aurora shots, two different comets, a lunar eclipse, the Milky Way and some light pillars.
Northern Lights in September 2004, seen by the Monolith at Vigelandsparken in Oslo Some purples and greens behind a group of girls in the park A bit of the Milky Way in October of 2024, seen over cabins high above Voss in Norway
(we can’t see the galactic core here at this time of year) Looking the other way, I think I caught Pleiades near the top of the sky and Jupiter is the bright light On 15 October 2024, we went out to find Comen Tsuchinshan-ATLAS from our neighborhood in Oslo
(Clear skies and a fairly bright comet made it easy enough to find with help of a sky map on my phone — and my better half could see it by eye via binoculars) On 31 October 2025, we went to a nearby beach, Hvervenbukta, to attempt to find the Comet A6-Lemmon
(Cloudy skies and a much fainter comet made it much more difficult to “see”– can you find it?) On 7 September 2025, the lunar eclipse was just starting to end by the time the moon finally appeared over the hilly horizon of our neighborhood in Oslo Just a normal moon, but with a bit of earthshine along with that waxing crescent An almost full moon, caught in some tree branches On a cold night back in January, the ice crystals in the atmosphere reflected lights from the ground into light pillars
(I thought at first it was some sort of bizarre albino Aurora…silly me!) #AuroraBorealis #LightPillars #LunarEclipse #MilkyWay #Moon #NightSky #NorthernLights #Norway #Oslo #Photoblog #Photography -

🌕 The full Moon is already rising across much of the world, its brightness shaped by geometry, regolith, and the quiet surge of the opposition effect. If you wish to linger with its light, the article opens the path: https://TPC8.short.gy/j033N64o
