@PLAION_UK That looks fantastic. Get Cyclone running on it!

@MuseumCommodore TI-99/4A

@XMartinsMusicX Some good albums there, especially Moon Safari. For me Big Calm, Morcheeba or Pieces in a Modern Style, William Orbit.

[Tim @retromit]

@XMartinsMusicX All the albums are brilliant and filled with classics. Siren (Love is the Drug and Both Ends Burning) is right up there, but if I had to pick one it would have to be Avalon. Brilliant album throughout.

@exQUIZitely First computer was the TI-99/4A. Still have it and it still works! Learnt a lot from that machine, then moved on to a Spectrum and eventually a C64.

@allrockmusic New Order. Technique is a fantastic album.

@WG_RumblePants After Richie, I did like to listen to Tony Lewis. Another from the same period, but different style, was Ray Illingworth. Good times.

@bagshaw2112 That was my Mum’s favourite for Saturday teatime!

@ShiiineOn_ Round & Round. A fantastic album.

Another clear night so was able to get Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon again. #comet #cometlemmon

[Tim @retromit]

Seems like we’ve had permanent clouds recently, but managed to get a few pictures of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon tonight. #cometlemmon #astrophotography #SeestarS50

@DrJeniMillard Pictures taken from Wallacestone, near Falkirk, UK. First time seeing the aurora, and what a fantastic experience. All shot with an iPhone 14 Pro Max (3s exposure).

[Tim @retromit]

Had a great show of #aurora and #NorthernLights last night, but all clouded out tonight. Gave it a good go, but nothing to show tonight. At least we have some great pictures (and memories) last night!

@aurorawatchuk Wallacestone, near Falkirk. Still can’t believe what we saw. Let’s hope we get another chance tonight. #aurora #NorthernLights

A good reminder to keep an eye on the whole sky, not just the north, if you’re in Scotland or northern England.
