Bright halo CME heading directly for Earth. Impact will be likely early on November 13th (UTC). Strong (G3) to Severe (G4) geomagnetic storm watch will likely be added. SolarHam.com

X5.1 solar flare around AR 4274. Proton levels are already on the rise. Wide area of coronal dimming evident meaning a large Earth directed CME is likely. SolarHam.com

One of the things I like to do is practice post-processing using other people's data during the many long lulls between times I can complete imaging a target. This data of the Fish Head Nebula and NGC1333 were shared by Hunter Outten on discord. These are my results:

Managed to get some time in on the Western Veil last night. Hopefully I can grab some more data on it before its gone for the year. So far I have 4 hours HOO. #astrophotography

Did a quick and dirty imaging session of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) last night. First time I have successfully done a comet align in post processing since the comet itself moves so fast against the background stars. #astrophotography #comet #cometlemmon

It has been a hot minute since I have been able to get out with my telescope, but the other night I managed to capture M33, the Triangulum Galaxy in HaLRGB. Total exposure time about six hours. #astronomy #astrophotography #space

A nice prominence eruption was observed on Thursday morning off the west limb beginning around 07:00 UTC (July 3). This resulted in a fairly bright coronal mass ejection (CME) that is directed to the west and away from Earth.

The Saturn-mass planet candidate is probably newly formed and orbits a young star that's only 6.4 million years old.

Still a work in progress, but here is my draft of the Crescent Nebula. Processing this particular object has its own unique challenges which are helping me develop my post-processing skills. #astrophotography #astronomy

Ok, guys, this does indeed look like a false alarm. Some bad data was submitted and got sent out on AAVSO's network. Had a follower confirm that T CrB is no where this bright. Its always important to confirm data independently in this field.
Some caution here with T CrB. We might have a nova or it could be bad data. I’m looking for more data for confirmation. #BlazeStar #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Science #DeepSkyPhotography #TCrB
