Viewing Report 9th June 2026

11pm – 01:53

I opened the dome tonight and looked to image something with the Esprit 150. I quickly found a Lynds Dark Nebula in the Milky Way just rising, LDN 621

LDN 621 – 1 hour 30 mins of 300s subs

This was particularly low down when I started imaging at 23ยบ altitude. The sky was still rather bright as we were approaching the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere on 21st June. There is definitely some interesting structure within this part of the sky, I will surely revisit once astronomical darkness returns and the altitude is higher.
