First astro image for 15 months - Jupiter
Hi All, Not used my scopes for over a year and was getting close to listing them on eBay. However, had some time off last week so decided to have another go at imaging. Took a while to remember how to align the scope but it all came flooding back...eventually. This was my first ever view of Jupiter ...

Fitswork image processing software
Just stumbled across some free image processing software from Germany. Seems to have lots of advanced features for processing astro images and works with file types created by CCD cameras (FITS) and DSLRs. Here's the website: http://freenet-homepage.de/JDierks/softw_en.htm The noise reduction and LR...

Lately in the Lincolnshire, Grimsby area there has been quite a few of those Chinese lanterns in the sky. They are orange in appearance and move very similar to the ISS. Mark Mmmm. Chinese lantern - could be, I suppose. Certainly travelling in the direction of the prevailling wind and 'flickered'. ...

Strange orange point of light???
Just seen something very strange. Completely clear skies - just shown my father-in-law an Iridium flare at 19:02. Then at 19:22 noticed a bright orange single point of light travelling overhead from west to east. The speed was about the same as the ISS (i.e. far too slow for a meteor) and the mag. w...

Broken tube ring
