ParticipantGood to see this coverage of UZ Boo and especially to see the appearance of SH’s. Hopefully these will grow.
The sky here last evening was dreadful: I could only see Vega, Altair and a very coppery Moon.Nothing from me tonight because of the strong calima. Vega and Arcturus are obvious, Deneb and Altair with some difficulty. The moon is rising. Na light pollution from El Paso / Los LLanos about 2-5km away is visible, as is that from Santa Cruz on the other side of the island with a 1500m high ridge between us. Remember that La Palma has strict regulations against emitting light upwards and they are obeyed by and large, especially municipal street lighting.
One of the worst nights I’ve seen in a long time, and I haven’t even mentioned the thin patchy cloud.

ParticipantHi all,
A real drop in brightness, much fainter tonight. Here are 50 more measurements from here in the UK.

ParticipantHi!
I captured something of a series yesterday night from my backyard. 5 min exposures now and considerable error bars so the movements are possibly noise.

ParticipantHi!
Unless there is something seriously off with my routine, I captured it at around magnitude 13 yesterday. Here is a series designed for mag 16 (Clear filter, 5 min exposures).

That’s amazing Magnus!
Poor weather here last night, but I reckon there’s a decent chance I’ll be able to get it again tonight.
