I finally got round to trying to get my head around producing a pseudo-Hubble Palette image from a one-shot colour image. It needs a little bit more work, but I'm really pleased with how this has turned for a first rough attempt. Onwards and upwards (hopefully).

We have had a brilliant day speaking to visitors at the Cantley Gala. We even got to observe the Sun through the solar scope, Seestar and special solar glasses!🌞

A fun evening with the 10th Doncaster Scouts. We had a sky safari of the constellations, an ISS fly by and even a dance of satellites from Starlink, which provided a great opportunity to discuss sky pollution and mega constellations.

Here is Benji observing Jupiter #astronomy

Tonight we enjoyed a fantastic talk by Georgia followed by some observing in the domes! Our members were treated to observing the Moon, the Pleiades, the Great Orion nebula and Jupiter with its 4 Galilean moons

@The_Hockadayz Hello, we have had the Orionids but that photo looks like it it was during the day so it would be unlikely to be that large to be seen during the day.

[Doncaster Astronomical Society @DoncasterAstro1]

@LoriCandela1 Hello sorry this notification didn't come through. I will be contacting the committee to decide on our venue and future meeting plans.
