Waxing Gibbous Moon from 6-24. Stacked video taken with the SeeStarS50 M13 - The Great Cluster in Hercules. This is my 2nd attempt on this target, and I managed to get the background galaxies this time, although maybe not with as much detail as I hoped. Link in the comments to my full write up. Tonight’s First Quarter Moon. Single photo with the SeeStar S50 Solar Image, 5-31-2026 iPhone shot of the Crescent moon showing some earthshine with Venus. NGC 4490, the Cocoon Galaxy. An interacting dwarf galaxy pair at a “close” 25M light years from earth. An interesting one to photograph and even more interesting to learn about recent science surrounding it. Link in comments. The moon from the evening of 26 April. Enjoyed photographing M3. Globular clusters are one of my favorite objects, but can be challenging to photograph well. This is my second attempt to capture one. NGC 5907, an edge on spiral galaxy in constellation Draco. About 40 million light years from earth, a supernova was spotted by Yasuo Sano on 22 April 2026. This image was captured on 27 April. Typically supernovae will brighten for around 2 weeks then fade away over the course of 2-3 months.
