We watched Venus and the Moon yesterday evening when we got back from work. As the other two have been visible in the south-western night sky for quite a while now, they are things I tend to gawp at when I’m taking the bins down to their drop-off point !
I have several friends and family (all astronomy experts)… who are “up there somewhere” and I like to have a quiet chat, while I marvel at our skies here… we can see so much more than we could in UK…
some fabulous photos…
Can’t seem to view that page. Not sure why, but the embedded picture I can see is the Great Orion Nebula, which coincidentally was my target for the first astrophotography session I have managed since late September. I managed to capture about 7 hours of exposure late New Years eve and early New years day. I’ll post a photo when all the processing has been done.
Don’t know why you can’t open the link…
It’s a straight forward BBC News item… but here’s an idea of some of what’s on offer…
It makes an interesting read, too…
Thanks @Stella . There are a few there on my list of future targets including the pinwheel galaxy, seven sisters and the aptly named pacman nebula.
Edit: As for the link, I’m on a VPN that makes it look as if I’m in the UK. I think this may be why bbb.com addresses dont work. I’ll try it on the main PC, which isn’t on the VPN later.
I think that’s hilarious…
Vain hope at the moment. We’ve had DAYS of freezing fogs. Getting very depressing. 
Oh dear… we’ve had a few days of sun/bright/perishing… and tomorrow it’s back to rain 
so I’ll have to wait a while to seek Venus in the mornings.
Sky? Haven’t seen it in nearly a week.
There was a yellow/orange thing in the sky around 08:30 this morning when I did the bin run.
Anyone know what it was? It’s gone now.
It’s bin and gone then 
I’ll get my coat 
3rd April 2022… The Early-Bird catches 'em…
The weather here has been so bad, that I haven’t been able to get my telescope out since the 1st January. There was a brief interlude later in January, but I was back in the UK for a family funeral. Since then, not a single suitable day. Bloody awful.
If you’re not sure where Uranus is… 
check tonight… 3rd April
