Saturn and Neptune at Opposition and Rare Shadow Crossings (Sept 2025)

September brings Saturn’s brightest moment of 2025 as it reaches opposition — and with it, a rare series of Titan’s shadow transits. Visible from Middle Tennessee, these crossings won’t return for another 15 years, making this the perfect time to turn a telescope or camera toward the ringed planet.

Chasing a Supernova in NGC 7331: Nights 1–4 in Middle Tennessee

✨ A star exploded 40 million light-years away, and its light finally reached my telescope in Tennessee. This annotated capture of NGC 7331 highlights Supernova 2025rbs, a rare chance to freeze cosmic history in photons. After four clear nights and nearly 22 hours of imaging, the supernova stands out in the arms of this beautiful spiral galaxy — a reminder that patience and persistence pay off under the stars. 🌌
