They say a thousand words are worth a picture [or something like that], so hopefully this is an acceptable thread for this link : **LINK**

There's a great moonrise happening in Gloucestershire at time of posting – just breaking over the horizon to ? N of E, huge and exactly the colour of a pumpkin..

Apologies for the delayed response, Gary … I failed to notice your post.

I have just checked, and the link works perfectly on my iPad:

The vagaries of Windows and FireFox are beyond my comprehension

Another hi-jack by me … but it didn’t seem worth starting a new thread:

I'm on an astrophotography holiday at the moment, although the weather has not been kind at all!

I managed to add to my Jupiter collection this evening.

RGB + a percentage of an IR as 'luminance'. My ASI 178MM camera and 150PL scope. I tend to more subtle colour these days rather than maxing the contrast, less spectacular but closer to what you would see through a telescope.

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

That’s a wonderful image, Neil … and I use the word literally

Thanks for providing a good start to my day !

It is quite astonishing how far amateur astrophotography has come in my brief time.
