Agent (final)
Great time to look at Orion. Well positioned right after twilight
One of my favorite constellations for various reasons
Beetleguese. Which if you look around on YouTube, apparently it’s gone supernova several times in past few months.
Orion Nebula
Other things like Horsehead
Quick astronomy news
Let me know if you want more of this during my live streams. Not necessarily going to make a habit of this, but some things I find of interest in the world of astronomy
Hidden things right in front of us
Newsletter I get from the NRAO - National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
Speaking of Orion…
Something as well researched as Orion still shows new things.
Active star forming areas.
James Webb Space Telescope and the Very Large Array recently discovered what they’re calling JUMBOs in the Orion Nebula. “Jupiter-mass binary objects”
Kind of a conundrum. Free floating not near stars.
Fun football themed story: central black hole in our galaxy is apparently shaped like a football due to high rotation speed
Speaking of hidden worlds…
Bok globules
NGC 281 Pacman Nebula. Taken with Seestar and run through Siril.
Seestar.
I’m not the only one out there with two
Two Seestars on one mount: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si9KRsBLH2g
Conclusion
I have a couple of more Siril-related videos planned, plus another eclipse video. So stay tuned for that.
Going to have some good clear nights here this week. Debating doing a live observing stream. What do you think? I’m probably going to do a live stream on Tuesday at noon CT / 18:00 UTC. If it works, it might be a little adventure…
