Great pictures

Irayo
It was a perfect warm day with absolutely no clouds in the way from beginning to end. I was also standing near the shore of a lake so I was able to see different things.
If I remember correctly your only total eclipse was in 1999?


Tonight I observed the comet as well as Jupiter and its four moons

Txantsan

Yeah, it was in August 1999

Next stargazing tonight: Galaxies of Virgo Cluster (all Messiers + a lot of NGCs) + few globular clusters in spring constellations Sky consditions were excellent so even faint galaxies were good visible

Sky was clear tonight again so I could observe again I observed again Virgo Cluster (mostly NGCs) and globular cluster (sky conditions were excellent so I observed some faint NGCs) and also nebulae in Sagittarius (especially M8 was great)

I did another solar observation - finally there is more sunspots again right now

And tonight before morning I observed more deepsky in Sagittarius and Scorpius, the best were globular clusters M4, M28, star cloud M24 and nebulae M8, M20 and M17

Wonderful

[Toliman]

Tonight sky was clear again so next stargazing: alot of galaxies in Ursa Major and Canes Venatici, few globular clusters, planetary nebulae M97 (Owl Nebula) and NGC6543 (Cat's Eye Nebula, interesting with strong magnification), some double stars in Draco and again nebulae of Sagittarius

[Vawmataw]

I wish I could hop between galaxies
Great targets

[Toliman]

Yeah, galaxies are great. Hope you can too

Already 1 week since the eclipse...

My goal now is to observe 10 eclipses in 10 years (so by September 2025), I'm currently at 9 and I might have two opportunities.

[Toliman]

Nice

[Toliman]

Sky cleared out for a while today, just enough for solar observation It's really interesting now, a lot of sunspots - some are quite big
