A brand new crop of Hummingbirds find their way!

29/7/2020

Though most of the local Hummingbirds are looking rather stressed and moulting plumage, the young of this year are coming into their own and strutting their stuff!
This young Anna's male is getting his adult feathers and I think he's discovered his MOJO!
​Happy Wednesday from Hummingbird Haven N Saanich! ... cheers TerryV

Looking up at the night sky ... A portion of the vast Milky Way

Its been an amazing week observing Neowise and I feel somewhat starstruck.  What a vast solar system we live in and all the stars and planets beyond are simply amazing! Thank you for looking, liking and thinking about where we live...So far this is the only planet we have.  
​Lets keep it !

ISS (International Space Station  orbits across the 5 images above , passing behind the comet's tail!

A lot of folks have asked me how to see the comet .. It has faded a bit in the past several days.  Darker sky is better, 11PM is ok, but midnite is better. Also a dark place away from lights of your house or town.
Look into the NW sky and find the Big Dipper.. With some optics (even small binoculars) cast your gaze just below the Big Dipper's base ...

To the South in the night sky you will see 2 planets Saturn (top left) and the bright star like orb to its right is Jupiter.  With bino's you can easily see 2 of it purported 79 moons!
