Lunar #occultation of #Saturn on 21st August 2024 from #Oxfordshire, UK. 2x speed, captured with a #WilliamOptics 70mm #refractor 3x Barlow + #ASI120MC camera #SaturnOccultation #WaningGibbous #Moon

Lunar #Occultation of #Saturn from early morning on 21st August 2024, captured from Oxfordshire, UK with a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor, 3x Barlow and ASI120MC camera. These images are composites. These events are a huge challenge technically! Video to follow

Drawing of #Sunspot #AR13615, the largest and most complex white light #ActiveRegion I've ever drawn, as it looked at 11:00 UT 24th March 2024. I created it from photos taken with a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor, Altair Herschel wedge, Celestron 3x Barlow + ASI120MC camera. #AstronomySketch #SunSketch

The #Sun in white light and H-alpha on 3rd April 2023. Taken from Oxfordshire with a #CoronadoPST + 2x Barlow & #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor fitted with a #ThousandOaks glass solar filter + #Celestron 3x Barlow. #ZWO #ASI120MC camera. Lots of #filaments & #AR13270 was looking gorgeous

IC433 The Jellyfish Nebula in Gemini is the remnant of a supernova explosion from 5,000 years ago. Hydrogen within the molecular cloud is excited by the shock waves from the supernova creating the lattice like filaments.

This is approx 4hrs of 3min subs using a William Optics Zenithstar 61 telescope and ZWO ASI 533 MC-Pro camera

My 1st attempt imaging #IC405 #Caldwell31 the #FlamingStarNebula. It needs way more data, but this was 89 x 90 seconds + 35 darks, taken from Oxfordshire with an astro-modded #Canon1100D with a light pollution clip filter attached to a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor

Just reprocessed my image of IC410, the Tadpoles Nebula, from my home observatory in Manchester using a #williamoptics #Redcat71 telescope.

#OrionsSword + #M42 the #OrionNebula taken from Oxfordshire 16th Jan 2023. #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor + astro-modded #Canon1100D on an EQ5 Pro mount. 105 x 30 seconds + 23 darks for the main image, the core was 21 x 8 seconds, all shot at ISO-3200.

#LunarOccultationOfMars 06:01 UT 8th December reprocessed. This image was taken as Mars re-emerged from behind the #Moon. #ASI120MC camera, #Celestrron 3x Barlow #WilliamOptics 70mm #refractor Full technical details are on my Flickr page #Mars #Occultation #LunarOccultation

I think this is my favourite nebula photo that I've taken to date. I shot this earlier this month from my back garden here in Wales. Everything came together just right for this one image of the beautiful #RosetteNebula (or #NGC2237).

Shot using a #zwo 533mcpro through a #WilliamOptics #Zenithstar81 attached to a #Skywatcher HEQ5Pro mount

2 years ago today we imaged the #Jupiter #Saturn #conjunction. They were so close together than they were visible at the same time in the eyepiece of our #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor! They were even closer on 21st December but we had solid cloud/rain that night. We will never see them this close again in our lifetime so I'm really happy we got to see this #planets #PlanetaryPhotography
