Tonight I decided to try something new. I managed to detect Exoplanet TOI 3714b transiting its host star using my 190MN scope and 2600MM camera. Totally blown away that this is possble from my back yard here in the UK. Transit took 1H 38mins and was about 5% in depth 🤯. #Astrophotography #exoplanet
The Gaia DR4 page has been updated!

This is a one year advance notification of what is expected to be astronomy's biggest Christmas gift ever in 2026!
Diagram showing changes detected in one Rubin image including supernovae, variable stars, active galactic nuclei, and solar system objects. In total, each Rubin will contain up to 10,000 changes, ~70% of which will be variable stars.
One Rubin image = up to ~10,000 alerts! 🌌🔭
From supernovae to asteroids, comets, and more, Rubin will capture the Universe in action every night. ☄️✨
See what kinds of events Rubin will alert us to: https://rubinobservatory.org/explore/how-rubin-works/alerts
I’ll get my results for #AAS247

… not for one but for two talks!! 😳
NASA FINESST Astro results are out, plot with some numbers below. Congrats to the +450 who applied! I did not get it, but I know I gave my best. Simulations and cosmology were big this year, with fewer observational and stars projects.
