    Here is a collage of images I've taken of the sun and the planets at the r.j.s. observatory over the past few years. Mars is the latest addition. Earth is there in spirit, because it's hard to get a good perspective shot, lol!

    Haha, good catch. It should be between Venus and Mars but I only included photos I took of the other planets.

    I hope this posts!

    Two of the night sky's reddest variables were photographed at r.j.s. observatory over the weekend. 119 Tauri (the Ruby Star) can be seen with the naked eye just below Zeta Tauri and is a variable red supergiant in the last stages of its evolution. R Leporis (Hind's Crimson Star), just below the constellation of Orion, is also a variable supergiant but with an abundance of carbon in its atmosphere contributing to its deep red color, especially when it is dim. It is a bit fainter than 119 Tauri and must be viewed through binoculars or a telescope. I like to use my reflector scope to see both of these stars as their red colors form a striking contrast to the background (especially R Leporis):

    Thanks, Mak. Good to hear from you. How's the stargazing? Send me an e-mail some time.

    Playing a little catch-up here. I got some cool images from the Great Conjunction last December. I used a combination of wide-field DSLR and planetary imaging techniques. It was quite an experience to see the two gas giants in a single telescopic view!

    Hey, Mak. I have been well. Enjoying my two-week holiday from work with family and the stars. I only recently checked in to see if the site was fully (or partially) functional, lol. I hope you have been well :)

    How's it going Reggie? Glad you're well and enjoying the holiday. I'm fine thanks. The site seems to be working again. As you can see, I've posted a couple of reviews lol. I just had my 139th session this year. A bit hazy but not too bad. I had a really good three and a half hour session on the 23rd.
