I've always wanted my own private observatory dome. They look cool and the telescope is always set up and ready to use.
-
I could so do this right now. lol. Had a very busy day at work and didn't get much sleep last nite.
-
Hey!
Thanks for the follow!
-
Good night everypony! Tomorrow is gonna be a busy day at work.

Hmmm, Mars is getting a bit far away to image well. I think this will do it for the 2018 apparition.
See you in 2020, Mars!

@Cash In, this apparition was pretty good considering that Mars was low in the sky for viewers north of the Equator. The good news is that Mars will be much higher in the sky during its next closest approach in 2020. I am looking forward to that one!

Time to go see what Mars is up to.

@Celtore, I hear ya. My trees block most of the southern sky.

@Cash In, he he, Mars is doing fine. It's apparent size and brightness is much lower, since it's moving away from us pretty fast. Planet season, with the exception of Uranus and Neptune, is pretty much over for 2018. It's long exposure astrophotography time.

@Phosphor270 I’ve been a fan for 3 years now. The thing I love the most about it is the Princesses!!
-
@DarkShadowPonY, thank you!
@DivineGlow1000, my favorite thing about the show is the relatable characters (AJ and Twilight for me).
-
The sky is transparent. Gonna go stargaze with my refractor telescope. No imaging gear, no electronics, just simply enjoy the beautiful sky.

@Tacodidra, I almost fell asleep while laying on the patio. lol. Stargazing is quite relaxing.
@DivineGlow1000, I think I paid around $310 for that telescope. It's a well made achromatic refractor with no plastic anywhere. Everything's metal, even the dust cap.
The mount is about $200. It's an Explore Scientific Twilight I mount. Has slow motion controls too.
@Sondash Studios, Thank you! This is an Aquila 90mm refractor made by Yuzhong Optical Instruments.

@Trix or Treat?, I think I'll go grab the nightlight. lol

The weather is absolutely beautiful! The humidity is low and the sky is just as blue as it can be. More cold fronts please!

I am thankful for that cold front. If it would have been a day or 2 late, Hurricane Michael would have likely moved more towards my direction.
@Sondash Studios, hope everything is alright.

Love the new banner!

Sometimes, even the clouds can be amazing.

Got a busy work week coming up. Good night everypony!

Caught a break in the clouds. Venus crescent phase was there smiling at me in the finderscope. Happy Smile Day from Venus!

I missed my chance to image Venus' thin crescent phase. Clouds rolled in during the evening hours. Hope Rainbow Dash keeps the sky clear tomorrow because the opportunities are diminishing rapidly as the planet begins to disappear into the Sun's glow.

I don't know why, but I find Sunset Shimmer's sad face to be adorable!

My 1st Uranus image of the 2018 apparition with the 8 inch telescope. I can't wait to see what my 16 inch telescope can do!

@Stone Cold Steve Tuna, thanks!
@Tacodidra, I love the color too. It is unmistakable when looking at it thru the eyepiece. I can actually see the planet with the naked eye. It's near the edge of my vision and my skies are dark enough. It looks like an extremely faint background star.

Nice weather always makes the day better! 
Thanks, and the same to you and Venus too! 
I hope Dashie does what she's supposed to, and you get those images! 
Though I still prefer Starlight's face in that same scene (you know which one). 
How do they make these ponies so adorable?
