Lunar Imaging Session - June 27, 2026

The sky this evening is very hazy but I still try to capture the Waxing Gibbous Moon using my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode. Stack of 20 images at 1/500 sec exposure at Gain 0.

Solar Imaging Session - June 27, 2026

The sky this afternoon is partly cloudy and seeing condition is ok. Large AR4478 Region is a joy to observe and image on the Sun right now. AR4475 and AR4479 Regions are also starting to grow a little but pale in size compare to AR4478 Region. In Ha wavelength, AR3378 shows some flaring activity inside its core as well as AR3375, AR3379 and AR4477 Regions too! There are 2 large eruptive prominences visible in the SE and West limb.

The sky this evening is partly cloudy and also very hazy. No DSO imaging again and so I waited for some thinning of the clouds for me to image the First Quarter Moon which also show the Lunar X and V features near the dim terminator area. Image taken using using Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode. Stack of 20 images at 1/250 sec exposure at Gain 0.

The sky this evenjng is partly cloudy but I have a nice open western horizon for me to capture the Crescent Moon with still some Earthshine glow as well as a quicky wide angle shot of the trio using my Smasung S25 Ultra smartphone. Moon images were taken using my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode. Crescent Moon and with Earthshine taken with a stack of 20 images each at 1/250 sec at Gain 0 and 1 sec exposure at Gain 60 respectively.

Solar Imaging Session - June 15, 2026

The sky this afternoon is partly cloudy and seeing condition good. AR4465 Region as well as AR4464 Region are the 2 larger groups visible on the Sun's disk. There is also a Huge Ejection Prominence visible in the SW limb. Got to catch it as well as another shot a few minutes after as it starts to collapse back to the limb.

the sky this afternoon is clear and seeing condition is good. AR4464 and AR4465 Regions are the larger groups on the Sun's disk right now. There are 2 large prominences that are visible on the NE and SW limb. A huge long dark filament can also be seen at the SW quadrant as well.
