Major X1.14 flare from sunspot region 4298 Follow live on spaceweather.live/l/flare

Best of luck in your fight Dylan O'Donnell (@erfmufn). You got this!

Strong G3 geomagnetic storm (Kp7) Threshold Reached: 20:31 UTC Follow live on spaceweather.live/l/kp

An active region behind the limb(old AR14274) lets loose with an X1.9 at 1201, 249 UTC, the associated asymmetrical halo CME is not Earth directed. It's unusual to see an old region that was quite active 2 weeks ago still firing off strong solar flares. #Sun #CME #Spaceweather

Here is another image I have been working on. This is part of the Veil Nebula which was formed from a super nova explosion 5,000 - 10,000 years ago. So far I have 6 hours of imaging time in HOO. #astrophotography #astronomy #space

My latest image: The Pleiades (M 45) also known as the Seven Sisters, and in Japan it is referred to as the Subaru cluster which is what the car brand is named after and the stars appear on Subaru logo. LRGB, 9 hours of integration time. #astrophotography #space

Major X4.05 flare from sunspot region 4274 Follow live on spaceweather.live/l/flare

An energetic and fast moving CME has blasted from the Sun early on 11 November. SWPC forecasters are evaluating the situation and will make any needed geomagnetic storm watch adjustments soon. Stay space weather aware at spaceweather.gov

Major X5.16 flare from sunspot region 4274 Follow live on spaceweather.live/l/flare

AR 4274 just produced an X1.7 solar flare peaking at 07:35 UTC (Nov 9). An Earth directed CME will be likely. More to follow. SolarHam.com

@LisaBromfield I am gin connoisseur myself too hehe

So I found the perfect gin…Stargazer by McHenry’s Distillery 🤩

@AstronomyMag I was about 15 at the time Hale Bopp came around, I took this image using ISO2000 film and a 35mm Minolta Camera. Looks like I caught a meteor in the upper right.

Do you remember Comet Hale-Bopp? Thirty years ago, this comet changed amateur astronomy. Here are some stunning images to remember it by. bit.ly/3X00XLE

@AccidentalAstro @VulkanAPI @hellogames Good game!

I just saw that my favorite game, No Mans Sky, uses @VulkanAPI on Windows and Steamdeck. Heck yeah! @hellogames

Thanks to Hunter for sharing his data regularly so those of us with cloudy skies can get some practice in. Like him, I share my data too so others who wish to post-process my data can also gain experience.

One of the things I like to do is practice post-processing using other people's data during the many long lulls between times I can complete imaging a target. This data of the Fish Head Nebula and NGC1333 were shared by @DelmarvaWx (Hunter Outten) on discord. These are my results

Another project I have been working on is the Pleiades. It will probably take a while to gather the data I need because all the cloudy nights, but I am looking forward to the challenge of processing it. #astrophotography
