Good morning, world. May this week be more peaceful than the last.
A Cheshire moon hangs in the deep blue sky of fading night, with an orange sunrise creeping up from below the black tree horizon.

At around 7pm, my husband called me into the TV room, he said "Someone went nuts with a gun in Sydney"
What a horrible Sunday.

Thursday night is the last supermoon of 2025 (the Cold Moon) but we've got heavy cloud forecast! So I snapped it right quick, a day early. I'm quite pleased with the results - what d'ya reckon?

Nice #Moon halo last night 😀 #Astronomy #Weather
The nearly full Moon seen through cloud. A subtly coloured halo of light surrounds the Moon, caused by ice crystals in the clouds refracting light from the Moon.

On my playlist this week. I hope to get a new turntable next year, the auto arm is kaput so I have to settle it on & off a record manually.

The 3.5% lit crescent #Moon rising this morning 😀 #Astronomy #Astrophotography
The 3.5% lit crescent Moon rising early on the morning of 18 November 2025. Some dark clouds are above the Moon and there is a tree branch to the right. The Moon is a thin yellow-white arc of light against a pale yellow sky. The unlit portion of the Moon can also just be seen as a faint circle against the sky.

A good month for #Astronomy, with the Orionids meteor shower, a couple of comets and some nice clear skies.

Green Orionid meteor captured above the planet Jupiter on the morning of 22 October 2025, at 04:15 UT. To the lower left of the meteor is the open cluster M44, known as the Beehive Cluster, in the constellation of Cancer. Image of comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) taken on 23 October 2025 at 19:04 UT. The comet is a green diffuse object in the centre of the image, with a structured tail sweeping up and away from the head of the comet. Stars are around it and seen as small trails due to the stacking process. Equipment and settings: Canon 250D DSLR through an Evostar 72ED telescope on a Star Adventurer mount. 21 stacked images at 10s exp, 420mm fl, f/5.8, ISO-1600.
