The moon is so bright tonight.

The "Pillars of Creation", as seen from my driveway. This is the central structure in Messier 16, the Eagle Nebula which is now rising very early in the morning.

A couple of images from the recent aurora sequence.

#AstroPhotography #samyang #AuroraAustralis #aurora #MilkyWay

An aurora fills the night sky in the upper 2 thirds, smooth water reflecting the colours in the foreground. An embankment with a few trees in silhouette to the right, a stone groyne and warning light at left. The aurora is banded horizontally, green close to the horizon, a pastel red and lighter pink above; and also vertically with columns appearing in the colour. One column has a more blue violet shade in this image.
A later image in the aurora sequence, with 2 blue tinged columns at the left, one directly above the blue warning light. 2 strikingly brighter and larger width in the centre, and faded thinner columns to the right in shades of pastel red

🚨 A STAR HAS DIED! ⭐💥

And I just happened to catch it from my city light-polluted backyard, using a 5cm aperture SeestarS50!

Check it out ... on the left is my image (only 25 mins of data). The cross hairs indicate a 'new star' appearing in galaxy NGC 3621. The right image is from Stellarium and I have annotated where the new star appears, and how it was not there before.

This is a type II supernova, so a massive star's core collapsed and triggered off an extremely violent explosion that we are seeing 22 million years later.

It likely formed a neutron star or pulsar!

It is incredibly bright and I encourage everyone to turn their telescopes towards it and get data / light curves!

I've finally started to sort out the eclipse photos from my big camera. This came just a few seconds after my diamond ring photo, so let's call this a ruby ring.

I'm not completely sure what's going on here to create the red color. I think the red is from the Sun's chromosphere. Then maybe the red is being refracted then scattered a bit by the high cloud cover we had during totality. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Solar eclipse as seen from my home in Reykjavík, Iceland.

If you look closely you can see a sunspot close to the centre of the sun.

Taken with a Canon 77D, 400mm lens with a Seymour Solar filter at the front of it.

The Milky Way over some interesting rocky hills, with a touch of green airglow.
