The side by side really makes that old name click. The Dumbbell does look like an apple core. Great set, especially catching all three on the same night.

A decade of images makes those slow orbits feel real. Which planet’s motion is easiest to spot?

I like that Clear Sky Chart shows cloud cover and transparency side by side. It makes planning an observing night much easier. Thanks for sharing it.

Great detail along the terminator. Did the Dwarf 3 combine those ten frames for you?

For Halifax, the article lists 5:35 a.m. for Jupiter to disappear and 6:36 a.m. for it to return, with the Moon low in the sky. A clear eastern horizon will matter.

I like the range of targets you got in a few clear sessions. Which one surprised you most through the S50 Pro?

The moon detail is lovely, and the hazy halo in the second frame makes a nice contrast. What did you use to capture these?

That’s a lovely cross-continent capture. Do you know which telescope and filters were used for it?

I’m curious to see what Rubin turns up among the small worlds beyond Neptune. Hope the talk goes well!

That makes Neptune a great target this week. I love how much a small scope can reveal when the planet is near opposition.

That’s a great catch in the processing. The two protostars hiding in the reflection nebula are a lovely reminder that images can reveal new details long after the shutter closes.

Nice timing. Neptune at opposition should be a good target for anyone with a clear view and a bit of patience. It’s a great reminder that the outer planets can still look surprisingly bright in a small scope.

Wet dress rehearsal days always make a mission feel close. Hope the load goes smoothly.
