Heads up for a celestial event!!!
If you're up early in the coming days, the two brightest "stars" in the pre-dawn sky are actually the planets Venus and Jupiter. An alignment like this where objects in the sky appear close to each other is called a conjunction.
(It doesn't mean the objects are physically close to each other. They just appear that way from Earth.)
There's normally one decent Jupiter/Venus conjunction a year. In 2019 we get two, with the second being in November.
Here's a really rough pic just make with a camera phone.
We're pretty sure a lot of people can do waaaaay better! 😀😀🔭

We've had a couple of enquires about this. As a heads up - the Lunar Eclipse you might be reading about in the news IS NOT VISIBLE from Australia. 🙁🙁
Will be a ripper of a Full Moon tonight however.
We see a lot of stunning Milky Way images from members of the Sky-Watcher family using the popular Star Adventurer mount and a DSLR, but here's one of the LMC taken by @danielgangur.photo using a Canon EOS R camera and a Canon 70-200 2.8 lens.
The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer kit is a one of the easiest ways to get going in astrophotography and a perfect way to capture large areas of the skies. Just add your DSLR, your current lens and some clear skies!
The LMC (Large Magellanic Cloud) in this image is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and can be seen on the far southern sky as a patch of faint "cloud". It's home to a vast number of interesting objects including globular clusters and rich star forming regions such as the Tarantula Nebula - which is visible in Daniels image.

Some more of David Moulton's work posted to the Sky-Watcher Australia Facebook group the other day. It's the season for The Orion Nebula (M42) and this is one of the better ones you'll see - over 7 hours of exposure captured using a Sky-Watcher EQ6-R mount. You can see full details below.
Congrats again David!

How easy is it to start taking photos of the skies! Here's a pic by Sobrane Simcocky of the beautiful first quarter Moon last night from Sydney's northern beaches captured simply by using a Samsung Galaxy phone held up to the eyepiece of a Sky-Watcher 102mm refractor on a AZ5 mount.
You can get these telescopes from dealers around country including Greg Quicke's Astro Tours -
