March 2026 Lunar Eclipse, Perth.

This was shot on my #Dwarf2 while my #Dwarf3 was busy doing a time-lapse.

Post processing in #Snapseed .

First time I have tried time lapse with the -Dwarf 3- oops strike that, I did it with the Dwarf2! #LunarEclipse #astronomy #astrophotography #Astrodon #SouthernhemisphereAstronomy #drivewayAstrophotograpy #backyardAstronomy #Smarttelescope #Dwarf2 #Dwarflab

Incidentally, we have MDA deployed this evening.

The Medium Dwarf Array, comprised of two #Dwarf3 and two #Dwarf2 .

If I set up our last Dwarf2 as well, it becomes the Large Dwarf Array, and if our friend comes over with her Dwarf3, it is the Very Large Dwarf Array.

I think we can all see where this is going.

Last night I promised that there would be Some Astronomy Happening.

Because we had SDA deployed on the front patio roof, we only had a couple of hours.

However...

I was able to get a far better shot of of #IC2177 ( the #SeagullNebula ) with the #Dwarf2 than I expected.

Sadly my attempt at #GUM6 aka #SH2_302 aka #RCW7 ( the #SnowmanNebula ) was a lot less successful.

Tonight, I am revisiting both. This time I'm shooting a full night for them. Let's see what we get!

Meantime, here are the shots from last night.

Finally, some clear skies to play with my #Dwarf2

Raw and enhanced views of Orion from Christmas night.

If I've time over the holiday break I might even take a trip to see it 🚀

I finally did it! I was able to find a clear morning and caught a glimpse of comet 3I ATLAS before it leaves our solar system forever. So pumped!

Got it! Here’s my stack of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon AND I was able to shoot through some nearby parking lot lights to glimpse comet C/2025 R2 SWAN. Not a bad night!

Trying again tonight and, with it just a bit higher in the sky, seems I’m getting some clearer frames of C/2025 A6 Lemmon.

May try for comet SWAN tonight, too.

Tough imaging through our light-polluted #Seattle skies but managed to get this of C/2025 A6 Lemmon last night. I’ve been unable to get Siril to properly process my shots but am happy I was able to get even this out of my Dwarf 2.
