IN OUR GARDEN 2024

Did anyone see the moon occulting Saturn early this morning - this is VERY difficult to photograph on account of Saturn being so much dimmer than the moon, but I managed to get a few:-

Pre-occultation - Saturn is at about 11 o-clock:-

After the occultation - Saturn is at 4 o-clock:-

You can just about see the rings (they are edge on at present unfortunately):-

Also managed to photograph Jupiter - you can just see some of the horizontal cloud bands on this one:-

Astrophotography, also known as astronomical imaging, is the photography or imaging of astronomical objects, celestial events, or areas of the night sky.
 
This from my 'jungle' that tool over whilst I was ill, I'm battling my way through it, the green bin's full, one positive is the two bowls of blackberries,
So what next jam jell or pie?

Plenty there for the bees & butterflies to chose from. Plenty of white butterflies around but very few coloured ones, a few Red Admirals but not a Painted Lady to be seen. ( Except for the Great Granddaughter )
 
i am getting a lot of small bees come in from the garden i catch them in a cup with a piece of paper and put them put outside one did sting me but it did not hurt just itched for a while
 
My mother used to take cuttings wherever she was, I took her to the motor show at Earls Court, we were up on the balcony, she reached out to snip one of the pot plants, the pot wobbled and nearly fell onto the head of James Callaghan who was giving the opening speech directly underneath. :eek:
