Paramount Observatory

Paramount Observatory is a private project of Les Girvan, to allow me to show some of the astronomy activity I undertake from our home location in Liverpool, UK

Take a look at our recent objects.

Well, this will be my last post on X. This platform is not a nice place to be, and as like MANY others, I am moving to #BlueSky using @paramountobs.bsky.social if you choose to move and continue following

@CathAdams1973 Thank you

[Paramount Observatory @ParamountObs]

I am so pleased to get this image of #cometC2023A3 ☄️

I only gad a short window and managed to get 7x30's subs. It's definitely gaining altitude in the early evening, so I will be checking each night and hopefully seeing how it changes as it receeds.

@BruceWayneier @AstroBackyard @DavidBflower @LiverpoolAS @HaSungazer @skyatnightmag @TheCosmosCorner Thank you

[Paramount Observatory @ParamountObs]

So happy to get this shot of C/2023 A3

Need to do some cleaning up, but great to get 5 mins on this object, which is very low on the horizon from my location.

@DavidBflower Yes, I am in great anticipation of viewing. I just think it's going to be too low in the evening sky for me, trying to find a local spot with a clearer view of the horizon!

C12, also known as NGC 6946 or the Fireworks Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cepheus. Its nickname comes from its high rate of supernova explosions, which have been observed multiple times over the past century.

Not a great night, only managed to add a further 27 images to the process 😔

I'm working on Galaxy #C12 the fireworks galaxy, 22 million light years from #earth

With another clear night forecast for tonight, going to get more data for proper post processing, this is just using the #ASIAIR app.

I wonder how bright this is going to be, adding to all the other bright objects' photos bombing our #Astrophotography images.

@SiriL_Official @NebulaPhotos @AstroBackyard Wow, this is a great update 👏

[Paramount Observatory @ParamountObs]

I'm not sure what's going on here, but my stars, whilst colourful, they just look weird! I used #Siril to recompose them, as without the adjustment, they looked over saturated, need to figure out what's going on.

On such a beautiful day, if you like space, lie back & take a hour for some interesting conversation. Don't forget the sun block : https://t.co/aZOTzJdtkT

Very Nice Bren 👍

@ParamountObs @LiverpoolAS @AstroBackyard @DavidBflower @skyatnightmag I’m on the Llyn Peninsula hoping for some deep sky imaging but no chance

Took the time to stack and process one of my images from the night, M51.

As galaxy seasons, looking to add more data to build the detail.

So pleased to have managed to get a night of imaging done last night. starting with my favourite Galaxy M51.

I have a plan to image a host of galaxies to process through the summer months.
