I love calculating & chasing eclipses,shadows,transits,occultations on faraway worlds. The sun, moon & planets are my friends 'cause I got class 8-9 bortle sky.
We're having a rare hurricane (Senyar) gliding across the straits of malacca, and now crossing over Peninsular Malaysia to the east coast. It's been raining non-stop for almost 2-3 days, with overcast sky for the past 1-2 weeks. Incredibly rare to see that hurricane indicator in the Windy app here!

Super sunspot AR4274 is still massive, but slowly turning away from us. Zooming in some nice granules.

Rare clear evening sky. Taking a shot on C2025 R2

Thanks for the alert. It’s gonna be a close call from Kuala Lumpur. For Gamma Cap, ingress will be around 8 minutes after sunset. Unfortunately I will miss Delta Cap.

Added a few more frames for stacking. The tail was more obvious this time.

Failed attempt to get Comet SWAN25B this evening. Probably to faint for simple DSLR setup. Unfortunately the horizon view from my roof top observatory was even worse . Minorplanetcenter is reporting the current mag is at 9.4

I am back after long hiatus. It’s been a wild few months for me.

Finally decided to get the Lunt Solar Wedge for white light solar observations. Looks promising using my small 420mm TS65Q.

Old friend, Lagoon Nebula rising in the east. Rushing with the brightening dawn sky. Managed to get 15 minutes total exposure.

Used the star removal tool in the DwarfLab app. Not bad!
