#BackyardAstronomy - A piece of space junk, a Lacrosse 5 / Titan 4B rocket body, will pass directly overhead this evening, passing bright star Vega in constellation Lyra moving from NW to SE. This is not a huge structure, so it will not be as bright as other objects. Away from city lights will be your best bet for good seeing. #KeepLookingUp

Nice view of both the #supermoon / #bluemoon, with planet #Saturn just above and to the right from downtown #ChattanoogaTN. #BackyardAstronomy

#BackyardAstronomy - large piece of space junk - in this case a Chinese rocket body will rise in the west this evening before fading nearly overhead.
A few clouds here and there. Brightness will be a bit low so away from city lights will be your best bet for seeing. #KeepLookingUp

#KeepLookingUp --- Tonight's best #SatelliteSpotting opportunity will be a decently bright pass of China's space station #Tiangong1, moving from NW around 9:33 PM EDT, going just above the North Star, then fading into Earth's shadow around 9:38 PM

Another beautiful and sunny day - perfect to test my new solar filter and the solar finder which fits my telescope perfectly.

Maybe a surprise for many, it’s challenging to find and track the sun when you’re not allowed to look at it directly without eye protection.
The little finder does a perfect job 👍🏼

I managed to shoot a nice photo of the sun, zoom and enjoy the nice details of the surface ☺️🔭👌🏻

#BackyardAstronomy:
Good news: super-bright pass of the ISS tonight from NW to SSE over the #WDEFNews12 viewing area.

Successfully saw the comet tonight. Even through binoculars, it was not all that bright and it took a few glances to make sure I was really looking at it
