Got the shot I was hoping for: C/2025 R2 (SWAN) and the Eagle nebula. @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social @astronomy.blue

Made a video of C/2025 R2(SWAN) 15-10-2025, 5-min intervals (75 min duration) - note the small tail pointing away from the Sun and in the direction of travel. It’s leaving the Solar system - back in -700 years (my ashes will be waiting …🙄) @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social

Jupiter and Venus. You can just about make out Ganymede.

Jupiter and Venus with some background laughing - a typical Australian early morning chorus.

The Lagoon nebula (M8). Can you see the Bok globules? I’ve rotated the image 90 degrees and you can make out a monster cradling the massive star Herschel 36. @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social

The Moon from ~36800 km. Every so often the moon, planets and stars cross the field of view of the camera on board the Himawari-9 geostationary satellite. Here’s a nice sequence taken during 20 mins.

My favourite nebulae - Gabriela Mistral and Gem cluster. PixInsight allows grids and annotation and my scientific leanings make it irresistible not to include them.
