Beautiful image, the Moon did look very nice again last night. I was out with the binoculars, like John mostly due to the very gusty wind! Saw a few Perseid's as well.

Its very easy to get so involved in imaging that you hardly look away from the PC screen. Nice just to observe and just let the photons collect on your eye and forget the world for a while. I saw a few meteors last night, including a real beauty, don't think it was a Perseid as it was heading towards the radiant, rather than away.

Didn't get the scope last night, but it was good to be out under the stars again. Sounds like you had a good night, a bit windy over here at the moment.

Sounds like a successful evenings work, still so windy last night at times!

Congratulations, watching the Moos ever changing positions is fascinating. As @GraemeC said astronomy can be very dynamic, nothing more so than the Galilean moons, perhaps maybe the surface/Proms of the Sun at times.

Very nice widefield view of the "king" of the planets!
-
A fine effort, plenty of detail visible there.
-
Slim pickings again today, always good to out imaging though!

+1 for the HEQ5, does everything i need it to do, plenty enough payload capacity for anything i am likely to own as well.

They do look very nicely positioned, especially with the GRS looking central as well in the illustration.

Not sure if this was posted, i guess it probably was, i searched but could not find reference to it on here. Originally on Saturday the 20th July.
With July 2019 marking the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, eyes across the world will be turned to the skies. To celebrate this seminal event, Wales's NASA-recognised astro-photographer Alyn Wallace sets out to capture his ultimate moon images, taken in iconic locations around Wales.Along the way, Alyn will celebrate Wales’s internationally recognised and protected 'dark skies'. , Alyn’s attempts an ambitious shot of the rising full moon over the Brecon Beacons: bringing the story of the moon landings to an iconic Welsh landscape.
A very enjoyable programme with all trials and tribulations us astrophotgraphers go through regularly. Still available on the BBC i player.

Seeing the "news" stories surrounding the "black" Moons this month is hilarious!
A couple of quotes i particularly enjoyed are
"Sadly for those of us in the UK, tonight's black supermoon will only be visible (or should we say, invisible) for sky gazers in the US. However, all is not lost for us Brits - a black moon is scheduled to take place over the UK on August 30" 🙂
"This year, the UK will also see three super new moons occur on August 1, August 30 and September 28. But, a super new moon is less exciting for space fans because it is invisible from Earth" 🙂
Shouldn't laugh, but after the enjoyable coverage of the 50th anniversary of the Moon landings 🙂
I guess it keeps astronomy in the mainstream news, so its not all bad! Black moon........... 🙂 🙂 🙂

amazing what you can tease out of the data.
-
Superb quality as always Darryl, the detail in and around the GRS is stunning!

I find seeing almost impossible to predict! high pressure, low pressure, jet stream, local atmospheric conditions, the list is pretty long. One thing is for certain though, clear skies are so infrequent, time so limited its worth getting out every time you can.
For what its worth i do look out for high pressure and no Jetstream overhead.

The "L" channel still would have been worth processing to be honest. Live and learn we have all been there 🙂
