- Mars and the Beehive from last night. 9 May 2025. My last picture of them. At least this year. Getting too tricky to capture them from my back garden. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour
- I've started some Mars and the Beehive exposures, despite the sky being a touch too light. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography
- On this day in 2022 I was capturing a Waxing Crescent Moon. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

- This week a failed Venus probe will fall to Earth. Probably won't break up on descent but little chance of landing on someone. Except me. I'm jinxed. 🔭 🧪
- Although Mars and the Beehive are past their closest, still a fine sight in binoculars and an excellent photo opportunity. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

- Reposted by David Blanchflower BScVery please with this single image of the #solar disc, taken with the #OM-1, 1.4TC, #300mm f4 Pro and some #Baader solar film. 1/1000 f5.6 ISO200 Processed in #Adobe Camera Raw, 1st one actual size, and 2nd one cropped for detail. That's one enormous #sunspot :o
- Reposted by David Blanchflower BSc#Astro-bluesky I am talking to 11-13 year olds next week about astronomy-related careers. If you have a cool picture of you doing your job (especially from women) be it in science, engineering, IT, business support, project management etc. I would love to have a picture to show what we do. 🔭🧪
