Comet C/2020 M3 ATLAS

11 Nov 2020 32 24 253
I heard of a new comet (at its closest this Saturday 14 Nov) and, as last night was clear I decided to try finding it. That's Orion as seen from the Southern Hemisphere and the comet off to the left (see PiP) - it's greenish and fairly dim. I should add that this image is heavily cropped (well, it was a 100mm lens after all), but it still looks good full screen.

Scorpio and Jupiter

I was very impressed the other night by the clear overhead view of Scorpio and Jupiter (see notes for details). Best viewed large on black.

Clouding over

Looking at the night sky up past Orion (those of you in the Northern Hemisphere would recognise this inverted), as clouds began to roll in and call a halt to proceedings. Details in notes and best viewed large. I know Pam would be interested in this.

Southern sky

A merged panorama of the southern sky, images taken using the Astrotracer facility on the Pentax K-1. Some details in notes. This really does need to be viewed large on black. Explored. Here's a suitable musical link.
