My Aug 12th total solar eclipse image from 5 miles off the coast of Greenland. Lunar surface detail is visible illuminated by the full Earth. #earthshine #eclipse

International Space Station photobombing moon at 00.33 on September 17th. Sinus Iridum + Plato visible. Despite appearances the moon was 413x further away than ISS. C9.25 + ZWO ASI174MM camera + iOptron AZ Mount Pro. #iss

Might amuse you, anyone want to try? I’ll give you a clue, quasar is KUV 18217+6419. 3.5 billion year old photons. Taken with #seestar 9 min 10 sec worth of exposures.

Interesting, @DigiArchaeo has an unused fully furnished office in the market place in Banbury. I wonder why.

So my coffee @huel subscription has been upgraded to coffee caramel. That’s nice. Nicer still to have been informed it was happening in advance. Wonder if I’ll like it? Wonder what I’ll do if I don’t?

Well done @VictoriaPrentis. That’s the way the cookie crumbles Rishi.

130 minutes of evolving & devolving #startrails from Morocco last month.

The #iss transiting the sun from my back yard yesterday. The sunspot visible is AR3071. @Space_Station was 546km away. This is slowed down 2x. C9.25 at f/6.3 with ASI174MM camera + solar filter. #spotthestation

Very glad the @BoeingSpace #starliner has docked. The view through my 12in Dob telescope in my back garden at 22.12 UT. It was about 200m from @Space_Station . Manually tracked. #spotthestation

The #iss passing in front of sun yesterday at 13.38, As seen from the side of the Bletchingdon Rd near #Islip. The @Space_Station was 551km away and was in front of the sun for 0.69 seconds. Top left 2993 and 2994 sunspots. 70mm refractor + ASI174MM camera. #spotthestation

The #iss transiting the moon today at 1.23am. It was 659km away and in front of the moon for 1.01 sec. You can see it on right close to Vallis Snellius. It is in Earths shadow so visible as an outline. Used 70mm refractor & ASI290MM camera. @Space_Station

Can’t help thinking that @BBCNews might more usefully employ their camera crews by capturing news rather than their camera crews in action.

Whoever at @thetimes who selected this image has never attended a lecture online. Generally lecturers screen share rather than stand in front of a hand written whiteboard.

Very surprisingly my 127mm Mak (on a camera tripod) image of the 6.5 day old moon has been shortlisted in the 2021 @RMGreenwich’s "Astronomy Photographer of the Year" competition. #APY13

Here’s @Space_Station passing in front of the sun this morning. Composite of 83 frames. #iss was 714km away and it was in front of sun for 1.28 sec. Taken using 70mm refractor. #spotthestation

Spot on @gavinwilliamson

Here’s @Space_Station at 19.20 tonight through my 12in Dob in my garden. Manually tracked. #spotthestation #iss

Looking forward to hopefully a successful 7 minutes of terror for @nasapersevere this evening. My last Martian 7 minutes of terror was between 5.10 & 5.17am on August 6th 2012 at @NHM_London. Apologies for shaky camera work! youtu.be/fNXxLiR5dfw

The #iss through my 12in Skywatcher Dob on Monday night. Manually tracked. #spotthestation @Space_Station
