Time lapse of first half of today's partial solar eclipse as seen from The Hague. 310 x 165 x 1.2 ms Ha < 0.7 Å in Lunt 40 at f/10. #astrophotography

I wasn't kidding when I said the end of the eclipse was at low altitude

Sun or Jupiter? Anyway eclipse is over.

Nearing the end with the eyeball phase of the eclipse

Meta observation of the telescope shadow with crescents from the pattern of the balcony railing

Fun to see a protuberance disconnected from the sun. Also my ellipse fitting for live stacking appears to have survived the worst

Pretty close to the minimum I think

Halfway there

Update: Entering the Pacman phase of the eclipse

Eclipse well underway now

Here it comes

Well here goes nothing. Set up and waiting for the Moon.

An inner city location is not ideal for observing meteor showers but caught myself a bright #Perseid here. The meteor appears in a single 1 sec exposure of a small sensor planetary cam with a 4.5 mm CCTV lens. The image is a maximum stack of 21 frames to reduce background noise. #astrophotography

There's a nation-wide network of cycling routes and a checkpoint numbering system that makes it easy to plan and navigate

Flying saucer cloud

Stormfront arriving at sunset. Never seen clouds quite like that here before.

Time lapse of #Moon moving past #Venus in its orbit before fading into clouds. 71 x 50 x 6 ms UV-CutOff in Celestron 8" + 0.33x reducer.

Also there was a second plane I was a bit late in starting the capture.

A later telescopic view of #Moon and #Venus near closest approach. At this scale the phase of Venus can be seen. 100 x 8 ms UV-CutOff in Celestron 8" + 0.33x reducer.

And here a stacked view for better quality but without plane. 100 x 8 ms RGB in 300mm / f4.0 lens.

View of this evening's #Moon + #Venus conjunction with one additional interloper. Single frame 3 ms RGB in 300mm / f4.0 lens. #astrophotography

Swan family outing in front of our house

Shrinkflation is getting ridiculous

The final frame with shadow of Callisto as it is a bit difficult to spot in the time lapse.

Friday night's #Jupiter system with Europa shadow transit (including a brief appearance of Callisto's shadow). 100 x 2000 x 15 ms RGB in Celestron 8" + 2.5x powermate + ADC. #astrophotography

Tracked #Jupiter down to an unreasonable 14° altitude just because I wanted to capture Europa leaving the disk and got caught off guard by another shadow entering, this time of outermost moon Callisto far "off screen" to the upper left.

Meanwhile on #Jupiter: Europa shadow transit in progress.

Fish and chirps.

Time lapse of #Moon passing #Jupiter Wednesday night (this is the actual motion of the Moon moving in its orbit). Covers 3 hours of real time. View is stabilized on Jupiter. Ganymede + Callisto are visible next to Jupiter. 379 x 85 x 100 ms mono in 50 mm / f1.8 lens. #astrophotography
