I hope you all have Solun' The Pocket Planetarium on your p900s, its a fantastic app.
Down here in upsidedown land the sky looks very different. The milky way for example, dominates the sky like a huge glittering wispy ribbon. Its quite stunning.

i used to have a mate at uni who was really into stargazing and stellar photography. he used to bring his shots in for us to "ooh" and "ahh" over. i was really keen on getting a telescope for my 21st, until i realised i have nowhere to keep it. hopefully once my house is finished i can do something about that.
here are some shots of Cassiopeia A which was in the news earlier this week:
The colours in this image of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A represent different energies of X-rays seen by the Chandra telescope. Red, green, and blue represent low, medium, and higher X-ray energies respectively.
The bright green outer ring marks the outer edge of the shock wave generated by the supernova explosion. The red jet extending towards the upper left of the picture is rich in silicon (highlighted in more detail in the next picture). The bright blue fingers located near the shock wave on the lower left are composed almost entirely of iron gas, ejected from the core of the star in a direction perpendicular to the jets.

This false-colour image highlights the jet and counterjet of silicon atoms around the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, detected from their X-ray emissions by the Chandra space telescope.

I'm afraid I haven't been doing much astronomy recently, although when outside during the day last week with a pair of binoculars watching passing planes, I found a dot of light that wasn't moving. Quickly grabbing my telescope, I focussed on it, and it was a planet! It appeared to be in a half phase, I'm not sure whether it was Mercury or Venus. I hadn't realised you could see these planets during the day, I thought the magnitude of the sun obscured even these bright planets, but I was wrong.
It was quite bizarre, doing astronomy during the day!
