This is Mars (at right) near the orange giant star Mebsuta,aka Epsilon Geminorum,on April 12,2023. Mars was 50 arc minutes from the star this night. It was closer the following two nights,about 20 and 16 arc minutes from the star. Mars was magnitude +1.1 while Mebsuta is +3.

Comet Nishimura (C/2023 P1) captured at dawn on September 7,2023 with the sky brightening with morning twilight colours. The comet was set amid the stars of the Sickle asterism of Leo the Lion,just rising in the east. The comet sports a faint blue ion tail,with the comet seemingly pointed toward the sunrise point; it was moving down and closer to the Sun at this time.

Mars (below) and Saturn in conjunction 1.3° apart in Sagittarus in the dawn sky on April 3, 2018. They were a little closer the previous morning but it was cloudy! The fuzzy spot to the right of Mars is the globular cluster M22.

A panorama of a fairly bright display of noctilucent clouds to the northwest early in the evening on July 7, 2022. Even so, this was about 11:50 pm MDT. The bright NLCs contrast with the dark silhouettes of the closer and lower tropospheric clouds. A gibbous Moon lights the foreground.

Venus (at left) and Jupiter close together in the dawn sky, and to the east of Scorpius, here at right, with reddish Antares between the trees. This was January 26, 2019. The two planets were closer together earlier in the week but clouds got in the way! Illumination is from the waning gibbous Moon off frame at right.

A close passage of Venus by the Pleiades star cluster (M45) on April 9,2023. Venus was closer to the Pleiades the next night,but clouds prevented a shot on April 10. But the night before closest approach was clear enough for long enough to get this shot of the bright planet and stars set in the deep blue twilight.

This is a stack of images demonstrating the number of satellites passing through the field of a wide-field telescope over a little more an hour. The field frames the Coma Berenices star cluster. This is from my home at 51° North, a latitude more prone to seeing satellites lit by the Sun well into the evening, if not all night closer to summer solstice. Most trails are north-south so they are likely NOT Starlink satellites but polar orbiting satellites. Interesting that the trails have different colours, likely from their solar panels or other structures reflecting blue and gold tints.

Venus above the Pleiades star cluster, M45, on April 4, 2020, in the twilight and moonlight. Light from the gibbous Moon illuminated the sky, so no long exposure would reveal much detail in and around the Pleiades. Venus passes close to the Pleiades only every 8 years. It was closer the night before, but alas, there were clouds! Some light cloud this night added the glow.
