Last night I was imaging #Saturn with our #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor, #ZWO #ASI120MC camera and #Televue #Powermate 5x. Refractors can be so versatile when you put decent barlows on them! Best 50% of a 1,000 frame video. #Oxfordshire, UK

#Sunspot #AR14366 looking impressive at 12:19 UT 4 Feb '26. I had a long enough gap in the clouds to get a very quick visual look then captured a single video before the clouds swallowed the Sun again. #CoronadoPST, 2x barlow & #ASI120MC camera, best 50% of 1,742 frames #Oxfordshire UK #ActiveRegion

Animation of #prominence activity from #AR14048 during a C-class flare on 29th March 2025, during the #PartialSolarEclipse I had to manually crop and align the images as best I could to try to show how quickly the region was changing #CoronadoPST 2x Barlow #ASI120MC camera, #SkywatcherAZGTi mount

3 years ago today I captured the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn. I missed the closest part of the conjunction 3 days earlier due to bad weather, but they were still within the frame of my ZWO ASI120mc planetary cam attached to my 190mm Mak Newt. 🔭📷
