The Colours of Sirius – Day 2 ✨🌈

A bit more progress in capturing the beautiful colours that the brightest star in the sky shows due to atmospheric turbulence, constantly changing the wavelength-dependent refractive index along the line of sight 🤓

This time with my defocussed 15x70 binoculars, filmed with my iPhone at 120 fps (so slowed down by 4 x).

Will try again tonight with the 3 x tele lens, if I can line it up / get any photons 🤷‍♂️

A very pretty conjunction between the Moon & Venus in clear cold skies this evening 🙂

There was some excellent earthshine to be seen, sunlight reflected off the Atlantic lighting up the otherwise dark part of the Moon 🌒

And it was easy to see that Venus was a crescent, with sunlight striking it in pretty much the same as it was hitting the Moon 🌙
