📍Straight of Gibraltar

Sky watching last night Did anyone else see Jupiter and the four Galilean moons appear from behind the Moon last night? It was a great night; Saturn and Titan, Jupiter and her 4 visible moons, Mars was out and Orion and the Summer Triangle were easy to see with the naked eye!

A lovely day in the neighborhood

Some fun with iPhone 16 pro 30s exposure and processing in Siril 🙃🙃

And apparently, Venus is in a crescent phase too 🌙✨ So we got a double crescent tonight!… read more
