Woken early by Felix Astronomicus and saw the sky was clear, so got a quick shot of the Moon. CFF135 🔭, #TeleVue 2.5x powermate, #Touptek 585 mono. Pleased that I got most of Hadley Rille. Best 100 frames from 1000 frame video. #astrophotography

Close up of the Moon showing the Apennine mountains, with Hadley Rille. The three major craters near the Apennines are Archimedes with lava filled floor, Autolycus and Aristillus. Following the sweep of the mountains you come to Cassini with A and B craters clearly seen. Then the Alpine Valley and Plato.

NGC7293 (Helix Nebula) imaged in HSO earlier this month with @astronomyedinburgh.bsky.social remote Murrell 12" Newtonian 🔭 at #Trevinca in Spain. 71 x 300s Ha, 96 x 300s Oiii, 171 x 300s Sii. Processed in PixInsight. #astrophotography

The Helix Nebula (NGC7293) is a planetary nebula in Aquarius. It is one of the closest planetary nebula to us and was formed by an intermediate to low mass star shedding its outer layers at the end of its life. The red colours are hydrogen-alpha, the yellowy clouds indicate some silicon2, and the blue colours are oxygen3
