Exploring the Suffolk Virginia Night Sky – Astronomy, Astrophotography, Telescopes, EAA – Planets and Stars and Nebula and Galaxies – Looking, Learning, Sharing… Let's see what we can see…
I have been traveling for work the past couple of days. I took the SeeStar with me, unfortunately cloudy nights prevented me from doing any observing while on the road. I returned home to a nice clear sky so I put the…
A bright nearly full Moon, a mostly clear sky, and a little cooler than it has been. The image on the AllSky Camera looked like it was day time out even after Sunset due to the Moon being so bright. Not the…
The Clear Outside forecast was not looking all that great, earlier in the day the forecast looked OK, but by early afternoon the forecast had worsened quite a bit. At around 8 PM the sky looked at least mostly clear so I…
I have thought about picking up a SeeStar S50 a few times, it has made it into my AgenaAstro cart more than once. After seeing some of the images captured, and watching a NightSkiesNetwork.com broadcast, using the SeeStar S50 during the Solar…
It is galaxy season! It was a nice night for observing. A crisp clear sky and temperatures in the mid-to-low 50s F. Not a lot of humidity in the air, so seeing was nice and dew was at a minimum. Last nights…
Nice clear night. A little cool, but still a nice clear Moonless night. I was setting up more to make sure everything was ready for the Solar Eclipse, but decided to have a quick go and capturing some light since it was…
Another clear and cold night, with no Moon. The last couple sessions I have been capturing data of the Drunken Dragon Nebula (LBN 762) for post-processing, for this session I decided to go back to doing some EAA. I uncovered the scope…
A very nice clear night. Temperatures in the mid-to-low 50s and a 34% waxing Moon. Hunted a few galaxies, two of which I have visited before and a really interesting one I have not observed before. Orion was rising high enough in…
A cold and clear night. Temperatures in the low 40’s which is the coolest yet this fall. EAA is great cause my office was nice and toasty :). I had a plan to capture a few of the objects on the CloudyNights’…
I am tried something a little different here. I wanted to capture data of Messier 33 over a couple of nights to see what I could come up with. Mostly so I can get some post-processing practice in Siril. I collected 1…
