This is NGC 4565, the Needle Galaxy, in Coma Berenices. #astronomy #astrophotography
M63, the Sunflower Galaxy, in Canes Venatici. I've been sitting on 8 hours of this for about a week, thinking I could get another 4-hour night. Another 4 hours would have helped. But the weather is just not cooperating. #astronomy #astrophotography
The globular cluster M12 in Ophiuchus. #astronomy #astrophotography
Last night I was able to frame Jupiter and Venus through my 106mm Takahashi scope. And they continue to appear closer together. Also, last night I got four of Jupiter's moons. #astronomy #astrophotography
M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, in Canes Venatici. #astronomy #astrophotography
The past four nights of the Jupiter-Venus conjunction. They will now move gradually apart. #astronomy #astrophotography
The Jupiter-Venus conjunction last night. If you missed it, it's going on tonight as well. #astronomy #astrophotography
This is the globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules. I really, really, really wanted to get nine or ten hours of this, but the fog had other ideas. If I get another clear night in the next few days, I'll reprocess this and post a revision. #astronomy #astrophotography
I thought today's sun was an interesting example of how active regions often form in lines or bands. #Astronomy #AstroPhotography

Jupiter and Venus hovering over the trees last night. This was taken with my smallest telescope, my little RedCat 51. They'll just keep getting closer together through about the 9th. If you can get in close enough, you can see three of Jupiter's moons. #astronomy #astrophotography
