Mars has come within 38 million miles of Earth. This is the closest it will be to us for the next 15 years. Got this shot after midnight this morning with the C8/ASI290MM/IRRGB filters, and the 1.5x barlow. Enjoy!

Bill Nelson: SpaceX is planning uncrewed Starship HLS lunar landing in late 2023 and human landing in late 2024. (Personal guess: uncrewed landing late 2025, Artemis III landing late 2026).

The skies cleared and I got this shot of Venus within the Pleiades cluster this evening with the Canon T7i piggybacked atop the C8. This alignment won't happen for 8 more years.

MOXIE made enough oxygen to allow a dog to breathe for 10 hours. It far exceeded scientists’ expectations in how it performed, and paves the way for future human missions to “live off the land”.
Also here’s a direct link to the article:

Just processed pics of Jupiter and Saturn from last night taken with the C8/ZWO/ADC/Filter wheel combo, both in RGB. May have more pics of Saturn later this month but this will likely be my last of Jupiter for a while as its position in the sky is less favorable now.

NASA's VIPER rover is destined for a region west of Nobile Crater on the moon's south pole.
The rover will be delivered to the moon in late 2023 by Astrobotic's Griffin lander, launching on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy.

GOOD NEWS.
Surgery’s done! And it went very well indeed. They didn’t have to do a hip replacement after all, as the ball was okay. The cracked bone was reinforced with a metal rod. So now I can bear weight safely on the leg again.
Also Ship 28 did its spin prime today.
