I was camped out in the fells just north of Hamsterley Forest in Co Durham and I looked for Mars about 0330 but even then it was too light!Mind I did managed to catch M4 about midnight with my 10x42 Viking monocular making it my lowest M object in 2024!The weather has been diabolical and hardly a single day without rain since July 2023 began.We've been locked into these low pressure systems before but never for 11 months it's like being in a wet grey black and white Sir Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes film without Nigel Bruce to cheer things up!

The Snake-bearer has a nice open cluster to watch, IC 4665, easy to spot with a small telescope, or Bino. And easy to find too :)

Thanks Pete and Paul. Always enjoy your chats. Did anyone catch that aurora event a few weeks back? I got a great show. Made a GIF to upload with over a thousand exposures, and the spot group that caused it has come back around. Looks diminished now, but still has potential for strong ejections.

Come to the Bay Area, near San Francisco. You can see Scorpius quite nicely.

I predict that C/2023 will be the brightest comet in exactly that part of the sky on that night at that exact time.

Actually the Red Giant does not feed the White Dwarf. The White Dwarf pulls off gas from the Red Giant.

It's an asterism - an unofficial pattern - so you can theoretically call it what you like. Of course for names to stick they need to become popular. Different countries also have different unofficial names for it.
