Steady air is in the forecast tonight. Time to setup up the Skywatcher 16 telescope. I'm in the mood for some narrowband imaging.
-
Saturn's Polar Hexagon has always been a challenge for me to capture. I think I got it this time! Had to push my Celestron C8 a bit past its optical limit to do it.
-
Had a decent imaging session yesterday evening with Venus. I think I dialed in the focus really well, which is very difficult to do in UV.
1st image is UV-A. 2nd is Near IR. Cloud details are only visible in ultraviolet light.
-
Clear skies. You know what that means!
-
Another cloudy night, but tomorrow evening is looking good. Meanwhile, I'm just messing around with my thermal camera again.
I might want to clean the dust from the inside of my PC.

It would be neat if there was an MLP based weather app. Rainbow Dash pouncing on a storm cloud pretty much describes this past weekend and is in the forecast for tomorrow.

The internet service at my grandparents' house is soooo slow. I think dial-up is a tad bit faster.
-
My largest telescope is ready to go. There's still a couple clouds hanging around.
It's neat how the heat from the back patio is illuminating the telescope in the thermal image.
-
Come on Rainbow Dash, there's still a few clouds around that need moving.
-
Last night was wonderful! The atmosphere was as steady as one could ask for. I will be posting more images of Mars and Saturn pretty soon.
The storm near the Polar Hexagon appears to have grown in size, since the last time I saw it.
-
Ah, finally! The clouds have cleared out. Time to setup my telescope. Mars and Saturn are out.
-
I'm finally starting to get the hang of this thermal camera. I am very curious to see what the Moon looks like thru it.
I really like the reflections from the cup of hot water in the thermal image.

Another cloudy, hazy night so I probably won't be able to image Mars. This is a good time to play around with my thermal infrared camera.
One of my telescopes, at room temperature, imaged at 2-5 microns
-
Forecast calls for the clouds to clear out later tonite. Might take another shot at imaging Mars.
I hope you get a lot of great pictures!

I know it's just because we've got used to it being so fast but still....jpg.16c8b9d688276452d7327ae92af8daf6.jpg)
I didn't know it was possible to see Neptune – and yeah, you can't see much detail there, but seeing an object so far away even that well is awesome!.png ":)")
