Time lapse of Jupiter this morning with Io transiting and Ganymede coming out from behind.
Planet parade last night under pretty horrible conditions, but it was a spectacular sunset. Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and Mars all with their respective apparent diameters through the telescope.
Been up since 3:00 and taken 2 captures. What a bust for the first telescope time in months 🙁. Weather apps all predicted clear skies.
Always love the pair and framing of Aristotles and Eudoxus no matter which side they are illuminated from.
From the morning of June 6.
Thank you @SkyandTelescope for including this in your new article about the current planetary views in the morning sky. 🪐🔭❤️
First #Saturn of 2024 and also my first moon transit ever. The dark smudge is Titan.
Why a smudge? Cause Saturn is still really far away and lower in the sky which makes clarity more difficult. But look at those rings getting thin 👀
First day of kindergarten and #graduation day of high school yesterday. Where did the time go? 🥺
Rima Ariadaeus
Sometimes the context of sizes is hard to understand looking at circular craters on the Moon. For reference, this image includes Rima Ariadaeus in comparison to the surrounding area. This rile is ~186 miles (300km) long and 3.1 miles (5km) wide.

Watch a timelapse of the current solar activity, filmed from my backyard observatory this morning.
The sun is still insanely active, this is all unrelated to the show last week.
Montes Caucasus,Aristotles & Eudoxus Craters. I have always enjoyed this region. The craters are pronounced from the ragged terrain, the mountains leading up to them separate the day/night sky, all of which is nestled between the smoother Mare Frigoris and Mare Serenitatis.
First Quarter #moon from last night. Seeing conditions were incredible and the @Celestron C6R performed exceptionally well for high resolution imaging.
Such steady conditions last night. It was nice to be back behind the scope in the cool evening surrounded by my friends, the spring mosquitoes. 🦟
Shown here are the triplet system of Theophilus, Cyrillus, and Catharina along with surrounding areas going towards the terminator.
Cellphone on the hood of the truck shooting through clouds. Not how I imagined my first time shooting #Aurora but what can ya do 🤷🏼♂️Also didn’t think my first time shooting aurora would be in Texas…
