The Pleiades and Hyades star clusters in Taurus are visible on the Eastern facing star cam on the Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea. Venus should appear from behind the Keck 1 telescope dome soon. You can already see the glow from the planet. The star cam is very sensitive.
Nice dark sky on the Eastern facing web cam on Mauna Kea. You can see Saturn just to the right of the vertical line of the view. And just see the Andromeda Galaxy way over to the left in the view.
The Pleiades and Venus have just risen from behind the Keck 1 Telescope dome.

More Bodies Discovered in the Outer Solar System
The outer Solar System has been a treasure trove of discoveries in recent decades. Using ground-based telescopes, astronomers have identified eight large bodies since 2002 – Quouar, Sedna, Orcus, Haumea, Salacia, Eris, Makemake, and Gonggang. These discoveries led to the “Great Planet Debate” and the designation “dwarf planet,” an issue that remains contentious today.

Nice dark sky on the Subaru Telescope Meteor cam right now (14:50 UK time). I saw a nice bright Perseid meteor a few minutes ago.
Jupiter and Mars also visible and in conjunction. Mars just above Jupiter in the centre top of the view.
Orion also prominent. Always looks weird on its side to me. It’s upright here in the north!
The bright star on the left is Capella in the Auriga constellation.
