It has been raining all day and surprised to see any of it TBH
a close up high resolution image of the moon showing craters, mountains, and maria. Best 30% of 1474 frame 180s video taken with Orion ShortTube 80 telescope and ZWO ASI178MM camera, stacked with Autostakkert and processed with Registax and Photoshop.
I have had my Orion ShortTube 80 refractor for 30 years. I used it a lot in the 90s with a film camera. Now it is relegated to guide scope duty attached to a ZWO ASI178MM camera. Last night I let them show what they can do on the waxing gibbous moon. Not bad! Details in ALT. #astrophotography

The Pleiades star cluster (M45) captured over 25 hours. The blue glow is starlight reflecting off interstellar dust. The surrounding brown structures are the Integrated Flux Nebula, incredibly faint clouds lit by the glow of our entire galaxy.

Happy Tuesday! We had a nice simple sunrise with beautiful golden colors today that belied the 12° temperatures. Tap for full size, particularly since it's a vertical. I hope you have a great day!

More than 350 schools closed today, -11oc windchill, high winds, strong gusts & heavy rain all with severe travel disruption.
And one of my boys schools sends an email after 7:30am to say “School IS OPEN” 🫣🤣
Let me think about it….
