Soooo, I’ve been sent this beautiful telescope to test out (when the skies finally clear!)
Initial impressions - build quality is wonderful and the factory fitted options are so good!

Today’s partial solar eclipse! Woohooo!!
So glad I managed to capture this, I cannot tell you how anxious I was checking the forecasts and radars for the last two weeks 😭

Great night out doing astronomy last night 🤩✨🙌 seeing the planets lined up in an arc was lovely!
I did some deep sky imaging capturing galaxies, dark nebulae & did a live stream of Jupiter & Mars 🔭

Faint integrated flux nebula see around Polaris, the North Star ✨
This dusty region is lit up by our own Milky Way galaxy. The integrated flux of all the stars is enough to light up this faint dust

Mars at opposition, January 16th 2025.
Mars is much smaller than it was in 2018/2020, but I was still able to resolve clouds and detail on the Martian surface 🙌🔭
Photographed from my garden with a (pretty big) telescope

Now onto a target I've wanted to capture for quite a long time!
The Tadpoles Nebula is really cool and with my telescope setup, I can get up close and personal with it.

Jupiter and Europa last night - photographed from my garden in the UK.
Conditions were mostly cloudy, but brief gaps revealed the incredibly bright dot in the sky that is Jupiter.
The striking bands on Jupiter's surface never cease to amaze me 🤩 #astronomy #astrophotography 🔭
