Just observed the 3I/ATLAS #interstellar comet with my 8 inch scope. Diffuse circular object with a hint of a core. Visible with direct vision at 5.30am. I can confirm I could not see anyone on board! 🔭

Telescope experts. Here is Polaris taken inside of focus. Why are the inside focus rings more fuzzy? 🔭

Just observed the galaxy pair UGC 9650 and 9668 (Markarian 839) in my telescope. Both are about 170 million light years away in Ursa Minor. A pair of galaxies in the same field of view is always special. #astronomy 🔭

Just been out observing a star that exploded 40 million years ago in my 8 inch telescope. Here is a picture taken by my friend Chris. The supernova is the bright white blob. #NGC7331 #ukastronomy

Amazing to see the mountains of the moon and detail in the sunspots during the #eclipse. We are blessed to live on earth and be able to witness this.

Just been out observing galaxies with visually my 20 inch dob telescope. Found this lovely triple in Canes Venatici, ngc 5223, 5228 and 5233. All three were visible with averted vision. Here is the DSS image of the area. #telescope

Wow, well worth waking up for. My first ever view of Omega Centaurus. I used 15 x 70 binoculars from Madeira. A lovely bright oval shaped fuzzy ball in a pretty star field. Very obvious and mesmerising. #astronomy
