Currently in Cleethorpes with my parents. It's a bit of alright.

#cleethorpes #UK #seaside #beach 📷

My parents stood with their backs to the camera on a promenade. They are reading the info board for the beach that can be seen in the background. The beach is sandy and the sea is far out.

A sandy beach. There are wet patches and in the foreground there are some sand dunes with grass growing. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds.

On the left is a path. On the right is some sand dunes.the sky is blue but mainly covered with white fluffy clouds.

A view of #Taurus with its two prominent star clusters: the Hyades, the "V" shaped face of the Bull and the compact Pleiades (7 Sisters). Visible are #satellites, aircraft and several meteors (abrupt short tracks). The #planet #Jupiter puts in an appearance at lower left. #astronomy

Oh I love the Satsuma Street designs 😍 I've yet to stitch one though

Katie M 👩‍🔬🌌📷🧶 @katiemmakes.bsky.social · Aug 20

I finished a WIP. Although I'm still classing it as a WIP until it's ironed and framed 😂

Another night having a look at the sky. It really is one of my favourite things to do ❤️🔭

We saw Saturn and learnt how to identify the Pegasus constellation 🐎

And of course it would've been rude to not take a look at the moon 🌖🌕

#astrophotography #space #moom #photography #UK #nightsky

Photo of the moon taken through a telescope. The moon is just under half full and the meteor craters are absolutely stunning along the terminator line. The moon also has a slight glow.

Working on my best friend's birthday gift! First time using evenweave rather than aida and I think I like it!

The sky in Leeds at 6am this morning was absolutely stunning ☁️🌄

#photography #sky #sunrise #uk #Leeds #science

Houses in the bottom half of the photo and the sky above them. The sky is peppered with mackerel clouds and fades from pale blue down to orange pink behind the houses.

I went to RSPB St Aidens yesterday for the first time and absolutely adored it. I have more photos I took on my camera to go through but these are the ones from my phone.

This Lego shark hopes the same for you!

I'd say these were lower in altitude? But I'm not sure how I would know?

Katie M 👩‍🔬🌌📷🧶 @katiemmakes.bsky.social · Aug 10

Oh thank you! A bit of Google I thought it was Altocumulus Undulatus. It was very cool!

More photos from last night's #astrophotography session.
Annoyingly I forgot my camera mount for my telescope so these were all taken on my phone!

#womeninscience #photography #moon #nightsky #uk #yorkshire

Photo of the moon with a lot of black background. It is extremely bright and creators and showdown can be seen.

Photo of a closer shot of the moon. It's taken through a telescope eyepiece so there is a slight reflection at the top. There is a massive impact creator on the moon and the trails can be seen clearly jutting out.

I think this is the Albategnius impact creator at the top as the image is reflected.

A long exposure taken on my phone. If you zoom in you can see so many stars!

Hey #astrophotography and #science people!
Does anyone know why the clouds are looking funky?
First bit of stargazing for this winter. It's warmed the soul ❤️
