00:00- To the UK weather: NEVER, EVER THREATEN TO BLOCK OUR VIEW OF THE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE ON FRIDAY OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW CLOUDS HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE AMATEUR ASTRONOMERS WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE YOU SPOILING OUR VIEW. BE CAUTIOUS! #astronomy 😂
- And #Mars is back! Here's a video of it reappearing from behind the lunar limb. So lucky the weather stayed clear 😀 #MarsOccultation #Moon #Astronomy #Astrophotography #NorthYorkshire #Occultation

- Managed to capture Mars, Jupiter and Saturn last night through my 6SE. Pretty pleased with the results as I haven't done any planetary work for ages! Surprised to have picked up some features on Mars too. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Planets @skyatnightmag
- So I'd only just pressed the camera button and this happened! 😁 A #Perseid meteor flashed past #Jupiter - very lucky catch 😃 #Astronomy #Astrophotography
