Just noticed 13P Olbers on stellarium while checking the altitude or 12P Pons-Brooks. Then checked SGL for any info. Prolly too feint for untracked DSLR shots.

Cloud and drizzle over the UK Would of loved to get a photo of those three.

Sinking into the murk yesterday evening April 9th. Probably the last chance to photograph it. The crescent moon will be in conjunction with the comet tonight, the weather forecast is not good though hereabouts.

Mostly clear skies yesterday evening. The Comet is harder to photograph now as it sinks lower at dusk.

Saturday April 6th A gap in the cirrus for 5 mins allowed a couple of shots this evening. It wasn't really dark enough, but the clouds thickened up again before dark. Thin clouds and a bit of editing on the phone has bloated Jupiter. zoom at 120mm APSC

A brief clear gap Wednesday 3rd from the backyard with phone Seems to be having another outburst again. https://earthsky.org/tonight/12-p-comet-pons-brooks-outburst-millennium-falcon-bright-2024-eclipse/ https://www.spaceweather.com/ (April 4th Archive)

Another phone pic from Yesterday 3rd March

The skies were a bit "mucky" in East Anglia yesterday evening (Monday 1st April). Just to see what happened I tried to pick up comet 12P with my phone, It wasn't great but it shows in the photos.

Saturday 30th March A couple more from the backyard. Single 20s exposures ISO 1600-6400

Awesome 🧐

Awful news I really enjoyed his vlogs , and WITNS on YouTube. He did come across as slightly thin/frail at times. He lived for his passion of the night sky. RIP Alyn

March 29th First time I've seen the Comet through binoculars (swift 10x50s ) this evening 20.10GMT , easy to pick out. A bit of annoying cloud had to drift in, then the Comet sunk behind the roof. Managed to grab another ariel photo, so a short but sweet observation. Zoom lens at 260mm f5.6 20seconds ISO 3200

This was early Sunday morning 00.30 GMT Aurora struggling against 99% moon.

These are from Friday 22nd March, moon about 95% Single shots with Astrotracer

I hope your neighbor didn't mind 🔭

Very good visibility yesterday evening with the arrival of cleaner and drier air from the northwest. Shame the moon was about 90% full. I haven't seen this comet naked eye, but got a couple of shots in camera. The comet definitely appeared brighter than a couple of weeks ago, plus the sky was clearer yesterday than it had been for about a month.

What's this cloud arriving from the South , surely not ? 🤣 🫣 https://www.sat24.com/en-gb/country/gb

There were clear spells in the evening of Wednesday 6th March, so took a couple of shots of 12P/Pons-Brooks before it sank below the roof. The sky was VERY hazy with pollution being imported from the continent, and this made the light pollution worse. The clouds returned shortly after. Single 20 sec exp with Astrotracer and 55-300 zoom. Ariel view of 12P/Pons-Brooks

@ Marvin Jenkins You say the clarity was amazing due to strong winds and heavy rain. Do you mean the heavy rain and strong winds had moved off, and improved the air quality behind a cold front?

Thanks , I'm guessing there is WiFi on the Seestar that connects to your phone, if you have signal.

Does the Seestar need to be near a mobile signal? If your out in rural areas sometimes the signal drops off.

Trying to pickup Aurora and just seen a decent meteor traveling from the NE at about 40°. It started in the N and tracked down towards the NW through Cassiopeia lasted about 2 seconds. Magnitude about -2 ish there was a slight covering of cirrus clouds.

I think this particular set of satellites may of been more visible , as they may have been recently deployed and still relatively in low orbit? I agree that light pollution is already degrading astronomy/astrophotography. Adding another layer of pollution with satellites is frustrating for anyone who cares about night skies.

Noticed these when walking back from town last Thursday.
