The Sun --- and sunspots (close!) - TODAY (5 Nov 2025)
Hi all,
Today I did the wider view (similar to before), and then extended the FL to check out the interesting sunspots and prominences area of the Sun, today (5 Nov 2025).
Just the longer FL attached here - full disk data are separate.
Thanks for looking!

Galaxy M100 !
Galaxy M100 !
Distance: 60 million light years
This was the last of three targets I had on my last night out. I have already posted the other two results. So, here is this one. From my backyard here in Las Cruces - portable setup. For the curious, I have also recently updated my "Equipment" page on my website talking about the new hardware, here: http://jeffjastro.com/equip/

Updated --- my Astronomy page
Hi all: I have updated my astronomy page's "equipment" area to include a couple of pics of my new telescope and new mount.
I think it is accurate to say: This new equipment has been my dream - dream to go after very deep sky and difficult targets. In particular, my personal favorite of galaxies. The new scope and mount did not disappoint, and you can see the results of course further down in my blog with this new setup.
Here is a direct link to my equipment page on my astronomy site (check it out!): https://jeffjastro.com/equip
Here I am including a screenshot preview of the page:
