Thanks, Craig It was a beautiful night. -
Gorgeous images, Craig. Can't wait to see the sequence Reggie
-
Not sure, but my guess it that it's a satellite. Doesn't look very much like a meteor trail to me. Great shots! Reggie
-
Excellent, Richard! Your efforts paid off in spades. Gorgeous Whirlpool, and you caught the Southern Integral Sign, too. Bravo! Regards, Reggie

Catch Orion while you still can in the early to mid-evening sky as it's progressively moving westward. And as you gaze at the illustrious hunter, try looking at him as other civilizations did in the past (or do now). Here are some alternate ways of interpreting this constellation: Okay, here is the constellation we all know and love: This configuration was not only known as Orion: Here are some totally different interpretations: Clear skies!

Good point, Craig

Brilliant image, Craig! That's a real looker Reggie

I agree with Peter; they are best observed when high above the horizon whether morning or night to minimize the effect of atmospheric turbulence. Regards, Reggie

Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and the Moon have made some interesting apparitions over the past few mornings. Fortunately, I got a clear spell and was able to get some nice shots of the celestial lineup: Clear skies! Reggie

A Few Widefields from Last Night

Go for it, Chefgage. It's fun to trace out the stick figures on the sky -
Nice crescent phase. Great first attempt! Clear skies, Reggie
-
It was an exceptionally clear night and I couldn't resist taking some shots in between observing (with no less than three telescopes, lol). I include captions and line drawings when necessary in some of the photos to facilitate seeing the form of the constellations. Here we go! Orion (Betelgeuse looks back to normal!): Hyades, Venus and The Pleiades: Auriga: Gemini: Gemini and Auriga: Ursa Major: Bootes: Virgo: Leo: Clear skies! Reggie

Hind's Crimson Star 2020
orion25 replied to orion25's topic in Observing and Imaging Double and Variable Stars
For me, the best time to see it is from December to March with a decent south horizon. It's a worthwhile target -

Nice pink moon shots, Jonk! I really love Venus and The Pleiades through the tree branch ❤️ Clear skies, Reggie -
Thanks, Pete. It was a fun run of evenings

Thanks, George. I'm sure you'll be as spry and enthusiastic in 2028!

Inspired by @Fozzie, here's my collage of the Venus/Pleiades conjunction over the past few nights: Looking forward to April 2028 when this all happens again! 👍 Reggie

Great collage, Fozzie. I think I'll do the same! Did you know that this was a cyclical event (every 8 years)? Cheers, Reggie
