[Theme] Show us your best moon (and solar system) images

[Øivind Tøien]

To followup on the current solar storm reported in the May thread ( https://nikongear.net/revival/index.php?topic=11202.msg208822#msg208822 ) it has already reached a maximum strength of Kp 8. Lots aurora images from US "lower 48" have been posted at Spaceweather.com, while there is no dark to enjoy it here. First a recall when the culprit, AR4100 started appearing again for the 3rd time May 25, previously posted in the May thread, and then a capture of its current position in the upper middle frame from today, June 1. Nikon 500PF+ TC-20E III and Baader AstroSolar film ND 5.0 on ASI678MC astro camera,  stack of the best 15% of 1500 frames captured in 12-bit mode. Open in new tab for larger versions.

Thanks Nasos. The last one was helped by a lucky short period of good seing in the morning.

Yesterday, the sky wasn't really favorable for those who wanted to observe the lunar eclipse. I'm glad I chose a different location than my usual spot in the middle of the fields, where I'm always alone. Many people went there, including families with children. Even though they couldn't see a single minute of the eclipse, the children had to go to bed before the clouds cleared, everyone was in a good mood, a very pleasant evening, sociallly speaking.
Finally, the clouds parted for a few minutes only.
