  1. Excellent photos Adam, Neowise is clearly the Astronomy event of the year so far for me, over to you Mars later in the year!
  2. 2 visits to the countryside Friday/Saturday morning, just after midnight and again before Sunrise. It is just amazing to see this hanging in the sky just above the northern horizon. The tail looked quite a bit longer from the last time i viewed it through my 15x70's, going to take a tripod and my 20x80's next time as well.
  3. Incredible sight again tonight/this morning. A real treat in my 15x70's, a lovely bright nucleus and a very long broad tail. It's a must see object!
  4. Looks amazing even from the light polluted Biggleswade skies. A majestic tail visible, the best comet since Halle Bopp.
  5. Superb set of disc's.
  6. Less than 300mm for both, the wider image probably around 125mm.
  7. The forecast looks a bit mixed for the next few days. Lovely and clear at the moment, but cloud and rain due overnight. Hopefully it stays around for a while yet.
  8. A terrific sight in the early hours of this morning, couldn't resist a few photos for the record! Simple DSLR shots on a fixed mount.
  9. I had them all back willingly, they all went in a rustic low fence I have been making. The smaller green parts have been chopped up and scattered around my raised beds.
  10. Yes trio of the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter was a welcome sight at that unearthly hour 🙂
  11. Comet Neowise is putting on a very good just before dawn at the moment. It looked wonderful in my 15X70 Binoculars this morning. A very very easy spot just below and to the East of the constellation of Auriga. A very broad fan tail is easily observed through them. Not quite visible to my naked eye though, it will interesting to see how it develops over the coming weeks.
  12. How annoying Helen, did you get any views at all?
  13. Just woke up from a quick hours nap before work, 1st thing i thought about..........Neowise. My wifr thinks i am mad, but you have just to love astronomy! What a great mornings viewing!
  14. Both those images pretty much show the perfectly. Not been able to see it with the naked eye, but an easy spot in binoculars. A lovely well defined braid tail visible.
