Short time lapse of #lunareclipse covering the 20 minutes when my skies were reasonably clear (although still with hazy clouds). Noisy frames had reduced signal due to haze but are stretched to match brightness. 37 x 10 x 2 sec + 18 x 5 x 4 sec RGB in 300 mm lens at f/4. #astrophotography

Premiers pas avec un spectrohéliographe. Le principe de l'instrument est d'observer le Soleil avec un spectro et de balayer sa surface. On a ainsi l'information spectrale sur toute la surface et donc la possibilité de reconstruir une image pour n'importe quelle longueur d'onde.

It's a 'Blue Moon' rise! The second Full Moon of May hence it's title. We get these more commonly than you'd think but it's still a beautiful sight tonight.

The Full Moon (Blue Moon) is very low in the sky tonight.
No chance of getting my scopes on it, especially as cloud is getting thicker too.
It looks quite atmospheric through the trees I think.

Here’s a quick look at the Andromeda Galaxy - it’s only a 15 minute exposure because it rose just before sunrise.

The light from this galaxy took 2 1/2 million years to get here. I’ll post a better picture in a few months when it’s positioned higher in a darker sky.

One of my favourite crater chains on the Moon - Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catharina, all spectacular formations of around 100km diameter, located on the western shores of the Sea of Nectar.

I appreciate everyone on this side of the pond will be in bed now but for the record, here's tonight's Full Flower Moon just now. It's also 'Micro Moon' being as far away from us as it gets! Goodnight all #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social
