Scosmico

There is a live on youtube tomorrow 8h30 AM BST from Astroneos, Brazil. The same group who have discovered some comets and asteroids recently. Comet Jaques, 2019 OK and others. Latest reports Magnitude 5.1. Coma 10". https://youtu.be/8-xlAL7uKno Today's live is still happening. Brazilian portuguese though. But everybody speaks astronomy.

close to Capela, 2nd of June

side by side you can see the gaps.

As you can see, even with stars set to 15 only few stars appear around M 57.

Sky Saffari 6 plus.

I will check if I can produce pdfs that can be used on my mobile at night.

I thought that would be the case. I am hopeful to find that can be accessed on the mobile. PDF or app.

Thanks Chris, I will have a look. I normally don't take laptops for my sessions. One thing less to worry about.

Hi Does anyone know where I can find star charts down to mag 15? Sky safari is not that good with faint stars around deep sky objects. Same around pluto. I have been taking advantage of recent great transparency and galaxy hunting for many nights in a row. Many thanks

Great action Would you mind sharing the communication as a template? Let's build on success.

You came back in good time. The transparency of sky has been amazing.

When I want to dig in I use high power orthos.

I had a go last night as transparency was quite good. For about 30 minutes I was nudging the telescope, changing eyepieces, finding starts at the limit of my telescope. But I cannot say I have seem something obvious. Perhaps if I had a star chart down to magnitude 15 I would be convinced that I have seem something that was actually there, and not a star at the limit of my telescope popping in and out.

This one in on my to do list now next time I go to Brazil. Star Cluster NGC 265 This image displays a cluster of stars called NGC 265. The cluster resides in the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the small galaxies orbiting our Milky Way galaxy.

Hi, that is just not true. Just a sensationalist newspaper article.

Crazy how small Mercury's disc actually is compared to the earth's disc.

can you see it crossing the skies over the UK?

Nick, I got a bit late for this one, have you got one for April? I suppose few of these targets sre still around. I am willing to check how accurate this seeing forecast is. Seeing forecast Regards
