Mercury!
Early risers can catch our smallest planet in the south eastern sky an hour before Sunrise. It's very low!
The very faint star below it is called Acrab, a double star 530 light years away.

Last night I decided to collect more data on old faithful M45, The Pleiades.

Sadly, cloud/rain returned by midnight so prematurely I shut my Dwarf3 down. Thought everything was lost but, connected to a laptop, it was still there!

Some Sunday listening! In our new album the Kp index, a measure of geomagnetic activity, from six solar rotations is sonified and then imbibed with the flavours of early chant, jazz and ambience. Enjoy! 🔆🌎🎼🎵🎹

Pleased to announce the launch of our new album, featuring music inspired by measurements of geomagnetic activity as monitored by the Kp index. At @bas.ac.uk we use the Kp index and forecasts of the Kp index to drive our space weather models and forecasts. 🌎🚀😎

It's Friday and the @darktrain.bsky.social with Kate Bosworth has been in for an upgrade. Still the same stellar tunes as far as I can tell but the new leather seats are pretty plush. It's the law.

There might have been, um, a few satellites passing by during the long exposure. 🧪🔭

What if you could capture a two-hour sunset in a single photo?

This composite was built from ~6,000 photos taken on a night in mid-July, each contributing just one column of pixels.

Look closely and you’ll spot stars starting to twinkle in the upper left as the night begins ✨🔭🧪

Perhaps you’re growing a bit tired of my moon shots. That’s ok. 😆

But for the rest of us, here’s celebrating another beautifully crisp October evening in southern Vermont, with the waxing moon to carry us through calm heavens into a soft autumn night.
