I just got a nice photo one can see the orion constellation. That image was taken by a smartphone.

Nice image, when we consider that it was taken by a smartphone It's your image?

[Tìtstewan]

This photo is taken by my sister.

Great, really good

Good image again



Finally I had clear night sky befofe morning dawn so I observed double stars in winter constellations.

[Toliman]

I had partly cloudy sky today evening (finally, previous nights were mostly cloudy), I took my telescope outside and I observed Saturn and few double stars and globular clusters on evening sky. Seeing was surprisingly very good so Saturn was great despite his low high above horizon, Cassini division was sharply visible and also few faint cloudy belts were visible on Saturn. From other objects, the most beautifull was globular cluster M15. It was nice, but short observation because more clouds came again.

I had clear sky after 2:00am so stargazed untill morning dawn. It was good observation although I am still tired, I just woke up now, HRH.

I observed nebulae in Orion, M1 Crab Nebula, Rosette Nebula, globular cluster M79 and many open clusters in Auriga, Gemini and Monoceros. Interesting structure of nebula M78 was quite nice surprise. I also observed tripple star Castor and several next doublestars in winter constellations.

Not so good news: They are building condominiums like mine where I stargaze. Fortunately it's the last one they can build.
Basically that means I have to walk a bit more to have a spot.

It's not good However at least good that no other can be built.
And how much more you will have to walk now?

20 meters? I don't know

Ah, it's not bad as I though. I expected that you will have to walk far more xD

Forecast is unsure but maybe I could have clear sky before morning twilight

[Vawmataw]

I might be able to see the Mercury transit before going to work (I'm going to come in later lol).

I hope my telescope will be able to see at least a small dot, but I've been told it's fine.

[Toliman]

I had clear sky tonight from 1:00 to 6:00am so I could observe. There was the Moon on the sky and seeing was surprisingly great so I mostly observe close double stars (with distance less than 2 arcsec) and I was mostly successfull. And after moonset I observed open clusters in Auriga and Gemini constellation + globular cluster NGC2419.

I might be able to see the Mercury transit before going to work (I'm going to come in later lol).

Forecast looks not good here but there is still little hope. However never mind, I enjoyed last Mercury transit (2016) enough.

I hope my telescope will be able to see at least a small dot, but I've been told it's fine.

Yeah, 7 cm aperture is big enough for seeing of Mercury as small dot.

Good to know. I don't want to go to work later for something I finally cannot see. hrh
I'll have to walk a bit to see the Sun but there's not enough snow to complicate walking.

HRH, yeah I understand completelly.
I hope that you will be succesfull with it and you will have clear sky in right time.

[Vawmataw]

But now that I mentioned it, that might change

Hope that no and that you will have clear sky.

[Vawmataw]

It was not supposed to be a very sunny day so we'll see...

There is a little hope for partly clear sky after noon, but it's really only little hope so I will see too...
