Spring is "galaxy season." Things line up so we're looking into deep space on spring nights (not blocked by the arms of our home galaxy as we are during summer), and well, amazing stuff can be seen. I was observing a galaxy group called "Markarian's Chain" last night with a 12.5" reflector, peering at fuzzy blurs 50 million light years away. Thought I'd set it to music! https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccx6hg6LZjR/
Don't forget, folks! The Perseid meteors peak overnight. https://www.space.com/32868-perseid-meteor-shower-guide.html
Heya folks! Annnnd we're back. The Perseid meteor shower is approaching, peaking on August 11/12. What if you're like some of my buddies, and are blind? Or it's raining? Listening to 'em is a great way to observe. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa14fOybJ4qTosQPa1TJdcw
I got to learn how to use a thirty foot telescope last night. It was "out of this world!" https://joshurban.substack.com/p/shoot-the-moon?s=w
