On a whim, I booked two nights in a guest house in the middle of nowhere in countryside France. The main target is comet Lemmon. I carry my Starwatcher star adventurer 2i including the aluminum tripod, my camera with several big lenses and a camping battery.
I. Don't. Drive. 😅
Wish me luck, and clear nights.
Solo para decir que si les parecía bajo el nivel actual de distopia en el que vivimos hay una astrónoma canadiense @sundogplanets que esta muy metida con este tema de Reflecting Orbital, una empresa que pretende poner espejos gigantes en el espacio para puedas contratar luz solar de noche, ignorando todos los desastres a varios niveles que esta supone. Esto deberia estar en la agenda y ser objeto de debate --› https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/115345346648445621 #ciencia #astronomia #astronomy #lightpollution #contaminacionluminica #gestionambiental #satellite

This is not the best picture you'll see today, but it is mine. Improvised early morning session from my balcony from the middle of the big City. My first comet too.
Astronomers Startled to Spot Abundance of "Biosignature" Molecules in a Failed Star's Atmosphere
｢ On Earth, phosphine is a byproduct of decaying organic matter and one of six key elements necessary for life. It’s extremely rare beyond our planet, making it a promising target in our search for extraterrestrial life ｣

Oh hellow you...
(when you find a star, where there should not be...)

Shot in the dark (sic) : d'après mes savants calculs (sûrement à l'ouest donc), le WE prochain (10/11) sera l'un des meilleurs pour tenter d'observer la comète Lemmon (se rapprochant, et encore assez loin du soleil le matin). Mais faut être motivé (ça commence vers 2/3 heures du mat jusqu'au lever du soleil). Est-ce que vous connaissez des gens avec un ciel pas trop dégueu et pas trop trop loin de Paris qui se chauffent pour faire un truc dans la nuit du ven. ou du sam. ?

Last images of the morning from both telescopes. Aimed them to the #planet #Jupiter. This first image is by the Odyssey Pro and the second from the s50. Though you can see Jupiter clearly on the first image none of the moons are visible. In thebs50 image Jupiter is to bright, but you can clearly see its moons #Ganymede (to the left) and #Callisto (to the right). #unistellar #odyssey pro #space #astronomy #amateur #seestar #S50

While we were all fighting the fascist during his first term, we maybe missed this magnificent celestial event. The passing of Comet Neowise (C/2020 F3).
Neowise was noted as the brightest comet in the Northern Hemisphere since Comet Haley-Bopp in 1997. It was discovered in March of 2020, then reached its epoch on July 6, 2020.
(Source: no idea. I found it on my computer. If you know, please share.)
Ok this was a "secondary target" for tonight, but it came out surprisingly well... 120 lights, 60s each, from 2:30 to 4:30 am. Part of those flares are dew 😅
(and now, to bed!)

I just realized that instead of the pleiades which are going to sit just here for the eons to come, I could have tried Comet Lemmon... I'm not a smart man. And upcoming nights will be cloudy 😢

Last night primary target, M81 and M82, again. Not sure the result is better than the previous night, I'd have to come back at them later...
196 lights 60s each (but with clouds in part of the session, also: more moon)
