Last night, I observed the Venus/Jupiter #conjunction with my #TeleVue 85mm scope using a #Delos 6mm eyepiece. Saw Jupiter’s cloud bands, Red Spot , 3 moons & also had planet Venus in the same 100x field of view. Still my favorite scope after 20 years! Thanks @TeleVueOptics

This animation shows the estimated shape of the Veil Nebula. It has to be more or less spherical due to nature of the supernova explosion.

This is the best shot I’ve seen of C/2022 E3 ZTF to date, a panorama created by Chris Schur from Payson, Arizona. Chris shot it on January 27 and just look at the detail in all the components of the tail! Magnificent!
