A clear night gave me the chance to finish the Heart Nebula project. Last night I got the extra data needed for the Hubble palette. The blue region is oxygen, red is hydrogen, and the green is sulphur.

FWIW I would like someone like you to be there if that was me on the ground. Good folk are sparse these days! Nice one Mike.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! 6+ months of work by SO many people is converging on a fantastic thing for researchers online. We want to democratize access to research infrastructure online, for good, and we've put together an amazing team to make it happen. ❤️

The Heart Nebula - IC 1805 - last night. This is currently using the 'Foraxx' palette - when I have the extra data I'll make a Hubble palette version. Picked this as it's currently on a perfect overhead path - the best! Slightly amazed how bright and big the nebula is.

Wow - what did you do? That's excellent

Back then, you made me a beautiful Witch's Broom teapot, with the nebula spanning up the spout. I love it so much. I am so thrilled to know how you shot to stardom making space pottery treasures!

Conditions last night were just about perfect, so I put the telescope out to capture Andromeda in narrowband. You can really see the hydrogen regions (red) where stars are forming. ✨

That road is full of abandoned rubbish on the verges - and it doesn't go anywhere!

Most interesting. The root cause was the minute wheel (centre wheel) having worn to a ridge on its arbour, which was grabbing the rear plate pivot. Machined it to round, fitted a new bushing, and all is well again!

Today's project is to service this clock (1840 fusee) which stopped this morning, after a good 5 years without attention. Probably needs dismantling and cleaning! 🤓

Andromeda, our nearest neighbour last night. M31 is so vast I can only just fit it into a frame on my scope (with a reducer!) It's six times bigger than the moon by width - if we could only see it by eye. We see a smudge on dark nights. Also M32 (above) and M110 (below). @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

v1.9: Adds the missing Expedition Charts and DX Report tools from Club Log, plus some improvements to Log Search (in the Check tool). Should be available in your app store in under 24h. Thanks for the feedback! Slowing releases to once a week now the big surge is done.

Your software is excellent. You may have picked a soft target picking on Apple Music (could it be any more bad?) but you built it without billions of dollars. That's *very* cool.

Club Log app update on the way... Live Alerts:  Added Live Alerts options for band slots and mode slots. Live Alerts are also now consolidated into fewer alerts where possible. Live Bands: Made it possible to select individual bands and modes on the Live Bands tool, reorganised the 'filters' menu.

Glad it's not only me that gets a little excited when these start to come back. The familiarity of the autumn and winter sky is so lovely. Especially Orion and the Pleiades. Good luck getting your shots!
