Hello Folks.

There is something both imposing and serene about this building.

"Villefranche sur Mer", South East of France, a beautiful town founded in 1292 by the Mediterranean Sea.
"Villefranche sur Mer" means Villefranche above the sea...

Villefranche-sur-Mer has been the filming location for dozens of movies (James Bond: Never Say Never Again, To Catch A Thief, Ronin, The Transporter, etc.). I once drove along the entire coast of the French Riviera and was very impressed.

59 results for Villeranche-sur-Mer as filming location:

Got a new toy (smart telescope). This is the M57 Ring Nebula. This thing's going to keep me up nights...

Cool. How about a pic of the telescope itself?
Haven't taken one yet. :p Probably tomorrow, need to send one to my boys since they are interested. It's a Unistellar eQuinox2 and it's pretty amazing. Set it up, let it calibrate ("find itself"), then tell it where to look or (like me) select an object from the huge catalog of things and it automagically finds it. Controlled and viewed from my phone (ordered a tablet tonight to make it easier to see) so I sit inside on the warm couch instead of on the cold deck in the wind.

I got out early enough tonight to catch the comet (C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), which is invisible by eye, but the telescope did a good job:

@DonH56 -- do you live in a dark sky location, or are you using an interference filter (or both, or neither)?
:)
These images are pretty incredible from my extremely amateur sky-gazer perspective!

We're not dark sky, but we're not that far from good dark sky sites (30 or 40 miles). If it weren't for the streetlights at the snooty prep school ;) in the center of our village, it'd be pretty good here. Heck, we still get some decent Milky Way nights now and again, when the air's clear enough.
