Londoner. Lots of varied interests including natural wildlife of all kinds, astronomy, global travel, opera, music, culture, sport and entertainment. Family Man. I share my photos. Politics free zone.
This evening's very low Moon an hour ago, barely 10 degrees above the horizon, before it disappeared behind the trees. 87% waxing gibbous. #astronomy #astrophotography
Oh, I was there (of course). Yes, Jane Weaver not the strongest vocal but worked for Entangled - see photo - (to come). A fantastic night. Pure Prog. Perfect!
Tonight's very low Moon - waxing gibbous 73%. Nicely filtered by Earth's atmosphere. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social
I always remember the Bergkamp testimonial game. I also remember taking this photo including my 3 favourite all time Arsenal players and the wonderful Johan Cruyff
Can you spot X & V? These are optical effects when sunlight hits the ridges of the craters on day 7 of the 28 day Moon cycle. #astronomy #astrophotography
Tonight's 54% first quarter half Moon! It's also Lunar X & V evening! The clair-obscur optical illusion that happens for a few hours. See the next post for a close up. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social
My Timehop reminds me that, 57 years ago, humans first walked on the Moon. Apparently today is known as 'International Moon Day' to commemorate that achievement! This is my First Day Cover purchased back in 1969. #astronomy #astrophotography
Beautiful evening Moon in the dusk! 44% waxing 'crescent'. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social
The Moon and Venus! I'm back just in time for tonight's beautiful close coupling of the 15.9% waxing crescent and the Roman goddess of love! #astrophotography #astronomy @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social
Good evening all. How's your week been? Here's my current view before tonight's football.
I had trouble sleeping so popped out into the garden and spotted Saturn 'near' the Moon!
Are you ready? One hour till kick off so killing some time with a rising Moonshot, of course! #astronomy #astrophotography
Baby Frogs on Lily leaves enjoying their Sunday morning in the garden pond! #wildlife #nature @lgspace.bsky.social
I took this at 2.56am. Saturn was super clear (Mars and Uranus were behind a tree!)
77% waning gibbous at 3am. 8 inch Dobsonian telescope and Samsung S24 Ultra phone camera. #astronomy #astrophotography
Here's my view at full time as the brave minnows were finally sunk! #astronomy
Good morning. Last night's 85% waning gibbous Moon captured during half-time as Cape Verde were giving Argentina an almighty scare! #worldcup #astronomy #astrophotography
Today's Solar observation reveals 96 individual Sunspots in just 3 groups, all extremely active. A pity, aurorawise, we have a short night and a pretty full Moon. #astronomy #astrophotography
Froglets! The Tadpoles have finally shed their tails and fully hopping. Using my phone camera, I captured this tiny one (probably a few dozen have survived) and is barely half an inch long. Won't leave the pond for a few months. @lgspace.bsky.social #nature #wildlife
A piece of the 'Strawberry' Moon has been nibbled as it rose tonight! Only 96.8% of the waning gibbous remains! #astronomy #astrophotography
I loved the singing and playing last night. The new production is a bit marmite and its ending snuffed out what should have been the joy from Elvira and Arturo. Musically fantastic, visually dull. The on stage trumpeter aside!
It's the Natural History Museum. The only bit of Moon rock owned by the UK. Can't touch it though, not that I see the point or the benefit of touching an inanimate object like that. Might as well be a piece of pumice!
Always the first sign the Moon is on the wane are the craters on the north eastern rim. #astronomy #astrophotography
Whilst Britons are asleep, here's a bright and brilliant Moon shining over them. 99% waning gibbous! I really ought to join them 😴 #astronomy #astrophotography
Here's a wider view taken with my phone. You could almost taste the Strawberry and cream! #astrophotography
Tonight's 'Strawberry' Full Moon rise! Yes, lots of wispy clouds and a tough time getting it exposed well but a beautiful sight nonetheless. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social
