Stay safe everyone and a very good point about observing the Sun through smokey skies!Our thoughts to everyone across NSW, QLD and the rest of Australia experiencing difficulties with the bushfires. Please be safe. Obviously the seeing isn't too good for astrophotography but shots of our own star at sunrise and sunset are dramatic and beautiful. Share your bushfire/star photos in the comments. REMEMBER: Even though it feels like you can directly look at the sun when it's like this, you really shouldn't. Let your camera absorb the photons - not your retinas!

The Moon is getting close to full and to help celebrate the 50th anniversary this coming week of the launch of Apollo 12 - the second mission to land on the Moon - here's an image of the lunar crater Copernicus, taken by David Grey on the 8th Nov and posted to the Sky-Watcher Australia Facebook group.

He used his recently acquired 12” Sky-Watcher Goto Dob. 3x Barlow at the nose of a ZWO ASI294 Pro cooled camera.

Thanks for sharing this great image David!
