Noctilove astrophotography barn door tracker

The buzz from the recent total solar eclipse plus a nudge from an enthusiastic friend gave me the bug for imaging once again.

I picked up a second hand Sky-Watcher Skymax 102 telescope recently on Astro buy and Sell website.

Finally a break in the clouds gave me the chance to capture comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) this evening.

I was out at dusk training for an upcoming marathon when I noticed the a big auroral display filling the sky.

I’d been keeping my eyes glued to the aurora forecast eagerly awaiting the arrival of multiple X class CME’s from giant sunspot group AR 3664.

First light with the new SpaceCat / RedCat 51 telescope was a tough choice.

A couple of clear nights tempted me to improve upon my ‘first light‘ image for the ZenithStar 73 scope.
