A bit slow in putting this up, but this was maximum coverage of the partial solar eclipse from Cornwall last Wednesday. It was a evening with two sunsets.

Despite the clouds and wind, I managed to get a few images of the solar eclipse today

SH2-298, Thor's Helmet This was a difficult one as it was low down on the southern horizon and I just had a small gap between my neighbors chimney and some trees.

NGC 2237, this nebula now has just over an hours data in total. I will have to wait until next year to add to it, as it's disappearing behind the roof now.

M101, I have managed just under 2 hours of data on this target and hope to get some more tonight.

Dave @daveholmes1957.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

I managed a bit more data on M51 and hopefully will get more tonight.

M106 Not the best image, but seeing as this was taken between the branches of my neighbours tree, I'm happy with it. This will be a better target later on as it rises above the tree tops.

I managed to get a bit more data on M1 on Friday evening

The Flaming Star Nebula Between shooting the planets last night, I got nearly an hour of exposure on IC 405

My second target from last night was M 74

We finally had some clear skies last night. Unfortunately my neighbours decided to light their log burner, which wiped out most of the southern sky.. So it was aim north for M 81, through the aroura, which gave me some interesting colour casts.

NGC 2024 Flame Nebula Another quick 20mins capture from between the clouds. One day we will get a whole nights clear sky and I will be spoilt for choice. Until then I will remain ranting about the weather.

NGC 1499 The California Nebula I was lucky enough to get a small break in the clouds and mist for this target. Only 20 mins exposure time before the clouds came in again.

0141

Dave @daveholmes1957.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I managed to get 26mins of exposure time on IC 434 the Horse Head Nebula, during a rare break in the clouds and rain, last night.

NGC-6888 Crescent Nebula Still waiting for some clear sky, so back to re-editing some images from last month.

071

Dave @daveholmes1957.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

There is so much beauty in this universe. A tiny portion of NGC 6992 the Veil Nebula, which I images last week, but have just got around to editing.

Dave @daveholmes1957.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

So many clouds around, so I did a re=edit of M33 from last week. It still needs a lot more data, but it's getting there.

Just playing around with my new toy, a Seestar S50. We don't get many clear nights here in Kernow, but I managed about 40mins on M42 a few nights ago. i know there is loads of room for improvement, but it's a start.
