The #waxinggibbous #moon at 53%.

And she’s only about 241,500 miles away from us.

I was finally able to get #Jupiter’s #GreatRedSpot pretty well. (Friday, Oct. 24, 2025)

I’m still learning the ZWO ASI 678MC camera and using the SharpCap.

It’s still not as clear as I hoped it would be. But I am learning.

It is interesting what we can see with just a few changes in the camera settings. I was able to capture the #constellation #Orion and #Orionsbelt.

I made a gif that shows #Jupiter’s rotation, as its famed red spot makes it easy to see.

Not my best but at least I was able to capture #Jupiter’s rotation a tiny bit. (Check out the position of the #RedSpot.)

I took this with my #Celestron NexStar 8SE telescope and ZWO camera on Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025.

I need to invest in a few heater.

I was able to capture the planet #Saturn on early Saturday morning. (Sept. 20, 2025.)

That dark smudge at the bottom? That’s the shadow of the moon #Titan.

Early this morning, I was able to capture the #planet #Saturn. Not the best but one of my better ones of the planet.

I used my #Celestron #NexStar 8SE and my #ZWO ASI 678MC camera.

I’m hoping to use my new #Svbony Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector soon.

On this date, July 20, 1969, the human race first stepped foot on the #moon.

#NeilArmstrong and #BuzzAldrin were the first men to venture onto the #lunar surface.

Pilot #MichaelCollins was in the command module above them.

A fireball lit up the sky over Georgia and the Carolinas on June 26, 2025. In Henry County, a fragment crashed through a home's roof and floor. On June 29, Ed Albin found a 14.33-gram piece in McDonough, confirming its extraterrestrial origin.

Meteorite hunters chase treasures after fireball streaks across Georgia

It only took Ed Albin a few steps on Sunday to spot it as he wandered onto an empty construction site in Henry County, about 45 minutes southeast of Atlanta.

The storms and clouds finally moved away here in Orlando and I was able to capture the #WaxingCrescent #moon this evening.

I used my #Celestron #PowerSeeker 127 EQ & my iPhone 14 Pro.

The moon is at 31%.
