This was maximum in Southern Ontario, about 8% is all we got - cloudy day but a few sunny breaks.

Yes, I was up early too...

Looking at the pictures I posted I see some artifacts near the center top of each photo, looks like a pair of bright stars - they aren't in my original photos - can anyone say what might have happened?

I have had skies for a week now - every night around 10pm EDT I hobble out to the corner of the farm where I can see to West and and take a few photos. Jupiter, Venus and Mercury low in the sky - last night I zoomed in on Mercury and noticed a companion - the star Mebsuta, Castor's waist.

Jupiter, Venus and tiny Mercury peeking in and out of low clouds. May 31st 2026 9:50pm.
The only place on my property where I can see that part of the sky that isn't blocked by tall trees. Supposed to be clear skies this week - perhaps I'll get a better shot.

Cloudy and snowing here in Southern Ontario - no Aurora for me - maybe it could still be around tomorrow night or the next night.

Well, I did have my cheap camera with my 18-200 mm lens mounted on my cheap star tracker (iOptron).

So it was a bit more than just a "quick snap" . Without the star tracker the comet was just a green dot. People who have iPhones or Goggle Pixels often get better pictures than my setup...

Sure, go ahead.

There are so many better photos out there, I'm surprised anyone would be interested in a photo from a cheap camera...

I took a photo of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) with my Canon Rebel camara on the 16th at 8pm EDT.

Any later and it drops down below the wall of tall trees at the North-West of our farm. Any earlier and it's washed out by the setting sun...

Very nice! I see a small satellite as well... I see more of them all the time.

5:30 EDT Clear and calm here in Southern Ontario - took a photo of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon).

The comet is getting brighter and I can just make out a bit of a tail with my modest equipment...

I saw 4 or 5 meteors on Tuesday morning from the general direction of Orion betwen 5:00 and 6:00 am- could those have been early Orionids?

I had a very clear sky this morning - I wasn't sure where Comet c/2025 A6 was so I took a photo of that area of the sky with my 18mm lens. I captured a tiny green dot left of the lower constellation Lynx.
I might try again with a bigger lens or I will wait until later in October...

Is Uranus in that picture somewhere down in the lower left?

Nice picture David.

I tried a picture of Star Trails from my backyard on May 15th this year - I seem to have captured a small plane trail and a small meteor as well...

I looked at the actual pixels of the Satrun/Neptune photo before it was compressed and I could just make out Saturn's moon Titan...
focus could have been better...
