Coincidence...Just an anecdotal observation here. Nothing really important.
Just to say I was stunned how bright Venus was this morning. I had left the curtains slightly ajar and She basically woke me up and I was able to make shadow pictures on the bedroom wall with the light.
Coincidence...
I noticed it about 7:15 this morning when walking the dog. Next to a nice small cresent of moon
No, I was very careful to distinguish between the Moon and Venus
I could make two shadows, one with the moonlight and the other with Venus. The curtains were only far enough apart to see one at a time.
And it was Venus that I saw first. (And which woke me)
Top5s have some great insightful stuff and this was one of those videos. Didn't realise Voyager 1 would take so long to reach the closest edge of the Oort cloud, even though it's travelling 1 million miles a day It will take 300 years to reach that area, and 30,000 years to reach the outer edge of the cloud!
Question, where do people purchase their eye pieces from?
I only have a 19mm plossl, a 2x Barlow andforsome reason a 5x Barlow.
I believe my scope can take a 50mm eyepiece, although I probably wouldn't want to do that right now...probably after a couple.

We're in the middle of the Atlantic right now and the mornings are crisp and cleat at 06:00. Venus looks stunning next to the moon. I've been asking some of the guys what they think the bright light is next to the moon, and they are all saying "the north star". I'm like, you do realise you're looking south.
Everyone is fascinated to know that it's a planet.

Was in the lake district the past week, had a chance to try my luck at capturing the stars on Wednesday night for the first time which went OK.
Interested if anyone know's what star is in the top left of the picture?
Bright orange with a what looks like an orange ring, but isn't
Its the Andromeda Galaxy
