September 9, 2026: Pit stop! In the middle of a 3-sol (Martian day) drive to a new location called Idubi, the Perseverance rover made a stop to capture this stunning Mastcam-Z mosaic of Shishangeni Crater. Because Perseverance is equipped with auto-navigation capabilities, the Mars 2020 operations team can tell the rover where to stop during its drive to take mosaics like this and can trust the rover to take the images once it determines it’s where it needs to be.  In the picture, we can see ejecta from the 25-meter wide crater impact off to the right side. This mosaic is made up of 26 individual frames and has been created with an enhanced-color stretch to show greater visual contrast. Credit image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS.

A slight detour for me today.

One of the problems with living in Scotland is that the sky doesn't get fully dark during the summer.
Last night was our first "proper" dark since May, so the telescope came out to play.

I concentrated on one area for about 45 minutes, knowing the Milky Way was in that part of the sky but not expecting to get very much from it.
Oh boy, was I wrong!

Zwo SeeStar S30 Pro, ISO 200, f/5, 2750 sec. Portrait image.

A portrait orientation colour photo of the night sky. The image is full of stars and diagonally from top left to bottom right is a close-up of part of the Milky Way. Top right and bottom left corners have been heavily edited to remove local light pollution.
