🌌 LAST CHANCE TO SEE TITAN’S SHADOW 🌌
On Aug. 19, Saturn’s largest moon casts its inky shadow across the planet—one of the final transits of this season! Visible in backyard scopes, this show won’t return until the 2040s. WAS member Dana Weisbrot will be aiming for an even sharper capture than this July effort. Don’t miss it: https://spaceweather.com

Still riding the coattails of National Science week in Australia.

Took this during the first half of the evening. Then the cloud came in and that put laid to my SMC plans. But for early experiments in mosaics it has worked well I think.

I just launched a sign-up page for my stargraph "beta program"! Super excited!! I'm finally satisfied enough with it's accuracy to share my invention with a few other folks. I'd love to find 10 or 20 people who might be interested in trying it out and providing some feedback.

Stargraph is a telescope attachment that pairs with your smartphone and acts as a digital guide to the night sky. It uses an inertial measurement unit to calculate where the telescope is pointed and then provides recommendations, Wikipedia insights, alignment guides, and more to help you learn about the universe above.
