On 19th April there will be a fairly spectacular astronomical sight. The thin Waxing Crescent Moon, Venus, the Pleiades, Aldebaran, and the Hyades all appearing together low to the west in the evening sky. A great #astrophotography and visual opportunity. 🔭 🧪

An other image from the same #Astrophotography night as the last image of Jupiter with Ganymede transit and the Io photobomb. Really have to try and get an other shot of Jupiter with its Red Spot visible, but somehow timing never seems to work out.

Last night I set up my telescope so we could all watch the planets while waiting for the new year to arrive.
After the fireworks had subsided, I attached my camera and captured my first astrophoto of the year featuring Jupiter and its moon Europa. #astrophotography
Happy New Year everyone!

The astronomy highlights for January 2026:
The year starts with a reasonably good meteor shower in the Quadrantids, albeit in a bright moonlit sky. There are also some good transits of Jupiter's moons and the Moon partially occults the Pleiades.
