Just seen a super image by Damian Peach, taken about 1 hr before my last Saturn image. He identified a ring spoke on the left side B ring. Comparing the images (i've annotated his), I think I may have also captured this. If so, this is a first for me, which is exciting! 🔭

The sky was clear for a time last night, until the mist closed in near midnight. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Given how many times my e-mails begin with "apologies for the late reply," I was delighted to learn that the famous letter of Le Verrier to Galle that led to the discovery of Neptune apparently begins with something like "apologies for not having replied for a year to your letter about Mercury." 🔭🧪⚛️

New astrophoto! I captured the reflection nebula van den Bergh 158 (vdB 158) and the structures of LBN 534 over one October night, 4 h 10 min total.… astrocamp.eu/en/van-den-b… #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #Astrophoto

🌫️ A foggy welcome to November in Billingborough! The pale Sun filtering through the mist and autumn branches makes for a wonderfully atmospheric start to the month. 🍂🔭🧪 #November #Autumn #Lincolnshire

This image of the Andromeda galaxy is the best I could do last night with only 33 minutes of data before the clouds covered the skies. @seestar.bsky.social #s50 and then lightly post processed in Lightroom #M31 #andromeda #astronomy 🧪 🔭
