Ok, so my image of the Crab Nebula isn't as detailed as the glorious JWST pic released today, but to be fair I was working with slightly smaller kit... (Crop from processed stack of 3x30s tracked exposures, Canon 700D DSLR/300mm lens, taken at @Kielderstarcamp

@Louiestowell My book "Felicette: The Space Cat" is now available in paperback! So that was great! Also, I'm back up at @campatkielder for @Kielderstarcamp with my new telescope and clear, dark skies forecast the next 3 nights!

Should look amazing from Northumberland. Don't forget shooting stars visible for quite a few days either side of the peak. One of our favourite showers.

Lovely Perseid meteor show peaks 12/13 August. Reliable in recent years. Caused by tiny dust particles from comet burning up. Prospects are good. Use naked eye. Be patient. Look high in NE sky. Better later. Dark locations favoured! @NorthYorkMoors @Howardian_Hills @NlandNP

This is a rather cool image. A star blowing up in a relatively nearby galaxy. Even so news does not travel quickly over such vast distances. This happened over 20 million years ago, but only now can we see it! @GoStargazing

Look in the upper arm of this galaxy- you'll see a star appear to blink in and out of existence. That's a supernova! Very recently discovered in m101: the Pinwheel galaxy (which I happened to be shooting when this happened)

The International Space Station returns to UK skies tonight with several bright passes at 22:38, 00:14 and 01:51 BST. Look towards the South for a bright star-like object moving Eastwards. Clear skies! #ISS #spacestation @astro_timpeake @ProfBrianCox
