@PeterLewis55 You got some great shots of the Moon rising. I hope it stays clear for you.
Even if the clouds clear the Moon is obscured by trees and houses for me as it’s so low.
The Full Moon (Blue Moon) is very low in the sky tonight.
No chance of getting my scopes on it, especially as cloud is getting thicker too.
It looks quite atmospheric through the trees I think.

The iconic #Vespera, reimagined with extended
autonomy and storage + USB-C data transfer and a
tall adjustable tripod.
Reengineered optics for superior performance and
larger pixels, Vespera 3 deliver faster results suitable
for both live observation and astrophotography.
I’m absolutely thrilled with this image of the Iris Nebula taken with the Vaonis Vespera III
165 minutes imaging time.
Other images are M39 and M71, both 20 minutes imaging time.
All images are straight off the scope.
Thanks to FLO for sending the scope.

It's 'Golden Handle' night!
A fantastic Moon in a brilliantly clear sky. The hottest day of the year but no heat haze.

Vaonis Vespera III.
This scope continues to impress me. It initialised quickly again last night and locked onto every target quickly too. The battery life is superb.
