  ~ The solar surface with scattering of sunspots ~ It’s our first clear sunny day in weeks and it was a delight to see some larger sunspots on the surface of the Sun. My image was taken with a Seestar S50 telescope with its attached solar filter capturing a raw movie file and stacking within the unit. I’ve also found an easier way to find the Sun when the Seestar has trouble locating it, by manually slewing there and using a sun finder called Sol Searcher by Tele Vue :-D

~ Venus, Jupiter & Crescent Moon ~ It’s always so beautiful to see the Moon and planets together in a twilight coloured sky, this conjunction with the crescent Moon and Venus, then with the planet Jupiter has just been lovely to view over the last couple of nights. The Orion constellation is now going down in the western sky, the Moon and Jupiter are both in the constellation of Gemini. My images were taken with a Canon 70D camera with a 28-400mm Tamron lens attached to a tripod.   ~ Venus & Moon Conjunction ~ After so many days of heavy rain the sky cleared enough to view this beautiful conjunction of Venus with a new 2-day-old crescent Moon in the early evening sky :- ) My images were taken with a Canon 70D camera and 28-400mm Tamron lens attached on a tripod.   ~ Saturn & Mars at Dawn ~ Oh my! The dawn sky this morning was just so beautiful with the planets Mars and Saturn rising in the east and the stunning colours of the dawn sky :-) Image was taken with a Canon 70D camera and Tamron 18-400mm lens, ISO400 with 1-second exposure time. The star chart is from my favourite FREE App called Stellarium.
