Here are some of my better images of "Marsrise" -- right after the end of the #MarsOccultation. Happy to say I found capture settings that simultaneously worked for both Mars and Moon. No "cheating" and stacking them separately and then copy/pasting. Enjoy! Prints available later. 🧪🔭

I realised I never properly introduced myself since joining Bluesky! So hi 👋 I'm a self-taught artist with a particular interest in space art, and I mainly use soft pastels and acrylics. I live in Manchester (UK), I'm a tax adviser by day, and I have a little dog called Conrad ✨

Astronomy friends, what night sky events are you looking forward to in 2025? 🔭 In 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 we've got 2 lovely total lunar eclipses (14 Mar & 7 Sept) and a 40% partial solar eclipse (29 Mar). I'm also super excited about Saturn temporarily losing it's rings in March 🤓 📷 Kevin Earp @astrokev.bsky.social

This is when the Earth's North Pole is the most tilted away from the Sun during its yearly journey around it.
