Last night was full of technical foibles and follies. 🤪 But considering this was the first telescopic astro session after moving, I'll take it! #Jupiter and its equatorial dark cloud bands.

M1, the Crab Nebula, approximately 2,000 10 second FITS subs. Stacked in Siril and processed in Graxpert and then Siril again. I think that's it for M1 for a while. On to new targets. #Astrophotography #Astronomy #BackyardAstronomy #Seestar @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

This is the Crab Nebula (M1). Located in the constellation Taurus, this is a supernova remnant at a distance of ~6500 light years from Earth.

#BackyardAstronomy - Early risers on Tuesday should look to the north between 4:44 & 4:47 AM EDT, the International Space Station will pass fairly low to the north horizon fading just before heading towards bright star #Capella in the NE. #KeepLookingUp

Located about 33,900 light-years away from Earth, M3 is a glittering collection of over half a million stars, bound together by gravity.

The Iris Nebula (NGC 7023) is a reflection nebula where a star illuminates the surrounding gas clouds. Here’s what I can see from my backyard.

Tonight I saw Mercury for the first time! It will be visible each evening this week. Look for it after sunset (below Venus).

Also went stargazing at Ward lake.

These moments were good medicine for my soul today.🥰
