Unfortunately the event last night was too low and too SW in sky to capture from my observatory site. Tonight the weather is the spoiler.

Great and detailed captures. Sadly it is typically clouded out here for next 5 days.

Some captures before clouds rolled in, single stills all taken with a Nikon Z7 camera on white light wedge, 5" Tak refractor on ap1200.

Thanks, pity about the clarity.

A capture of this massive sunspot region, morning of 7 Nov through slightly hazy sky. 5" refractor on ap1200 with solar white light wedge and ASI 290MM camera, colourized in photoshop.

A capture of Mars from mid evening with Tak 102nsv, ancient Meade x2 barlow and ZWO ASI290MM & manual ZWO 1.25" filterwheel. Wrong scope for the target but hadn’t installed the larger one, not a bad result for the 4" Tak. Left hand images are the R, G, B. Seeing was decidedly wobbly and firework smoke in the air.

Thanks. Forgot to mention, taken with Tak 102nsv and reducer.

I’m getting back to astro imaging after a very long time away, this is my first real attempt with a cooled camera for years, the newly acquired (only this week) ASI294MM Pro. A 60min capture in Ha, in 10min subs for the main structure and some 30sec subs for the core, early hours today. Darks and Flats calibrated. Next will be OIII captures, weather allowing.
