  1. Animation of #Asteroid #Flora approaching #NGC3628 the #HamburgerGalaxy in the #LeoTriplet 7th, 8th & 9th April 2025. Imaged from #Oxfordshire with a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor + #Canon1100D Moonlight has been a real pain!

  2. #TimelapseVideo of the whole of yesterday's #PartialSolarEclipse captured from #Oxfordshire UK with a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor, #ThousandOaks glass filter & #Canon1100D. I took a photo every 15 seconds for 2hrs. Unprocessed aside from cropping the video

  3. Drawing of #Sunspot #AR13615, the largest and most complex white light #ActiveRegion I've ever drawn, as it looked at 11:00 UT 24th March 2024. I created it from photos taken with a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor, Altair Herschel wedge, Celestron 3x Barlow + ASI120MC camera. #AstronomySketch #SunSketch

  4. The #Sun in white light and H-alpha on 3rd April 2023. Taken from Oxfordshire with a #CoronadoPST + 2x Barlow & #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor fitted with a #ThousandOaks glass solar filter + #Celestron 3x Barlow. #ZWO #ASI120MC camera. Lots of #filaments & #AR13270 was looking gorgeous

  5. My 1st attempt imaging #IC405 #Caldwell31 the #FlamingStarNebula. It needs way more data, but this was 89 x 90 seconds + 35 darks, taken from Oxfordshire with an astro-modded #Canon1100D with a light pollution clip filter attached to a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor

  6. #LunarOccultationOfMars 06:01 UT 8th December reprocessed. This image was taken as Mars re-emerged from behind the #Moon. #ASI120MC camera, #Celestrron 3x Barlow #WilliamOptics 70mm #refractor Full technical details are on my Flickr page #Mars #Occultation #LunarOccultation
