A colour image of NGC7331 taken by the Schools' Observatory. Two stretches, one to highlight supernova and the other for the fainter spiral arms.

40 million years ago, a star in a distant galaxy (NGC7331 in Perseus) came to an extremely dramatic end of life as a supernova. We are only just starting to see this now as the light races past us. It's been cloudy for ages, so used the Schools' Observatory to capture this image.

A quick jaunt to one of my favourite places tonight to view the stunning new full dome show from NSC Creative. 😍 It's Madness, I tell you.

Yay!! Not captured from home, but I'm really pleased to have finally caught it. More details here: star-gazing.co.uk/WebPage/a11pl3…

Before it went all misty on July 12th, I managed to capture one sub of colour data to blend with my Ha image taken in September 2023. Those cosmic pillars are just amazing. More to be captured very soon.

I had overlooked this image taken by the SeeStar S30 while in Portugal last month. This is IC4604, a reflection nebula close to Antares in Scorpius. More details and my latest images are posted here: flickr.com/photos/eaglese…

One big question I got about the observatory is if we have ever pointed all the scopes at one spot? The answer is yes! This is the result of one such effort, 1650 hours of exposure in Ursa Major!

I had a cracking all-nighter last night. Well, it's not very long at this time of year. I failed to capture the solar system interloper yet again! But I was pleased to get more stonking Cyngus nebulosity. As the sky brightened, I swapped cameras to capture Saturn. 😁

I tried and failed to capture the solar system interloper last night. I think I was pointing the scope at the correct part of the sky.🤣 I'll be better armed from now on as I've got more details and added maps to my blog to help find it. star-gazing.co.uk/Blog

I had a very productive day and night yesterday. 😃 If you'd like to see more, visit my Flickr Page: flickr.com/photos/eaglese…

A very interesting object has been discovered, which looks like it could be an interstellar visitor to our solar system. More details and a map here: star-gazing.co.uk/WebPage/a11pl3…

From one extreme to another. My humble SeeStar S30 image of the Lagoon and Trifid nebulae, compared to the Vera C. Rubin Observatory image.

We've just come back from a holiday in Portugal. While there, I used a SeeStar S30 to track down some southern objects and dark nebulae within our Milky Way. If you'd like to see more details or my other images, visit my Flickr site: flickr.com/photos/eaglese…

Things are really kicking off around our pond today.
