Hi!
I'm Justin. I'm almost 40, I (unfortunately) live in Texas, I've been working in gaming since 2015, and I repost a lot of art, astronomy, memes, and occaisionally politics (extremely anti-fascist).
There's no algorithm here, so I repost more than I did on Twitter. Reposts save lives!

I was going to just get three hours of this and move on to something else, but now it seems promising and I think I'll try to get four more hours tonight. It's IC405, the Flaming Star Nebula. #Astronomy #astrophotography

This is about seven hours of The Pelican (IC 5070) in Cygnus. I think I'm going to work on this for another night or two and see if I can improve the detail. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Dusty Orion
3 weeks ago I got the chance to travel to dark skies for the first time in over 2 years! This is an image of the famous Orion nebula plus the Running Man Nebula, all against a backdrop of dust and gas.
61 x 3 mins (+ 60 x 10 sec exposures for the bright core).

Took my #Dwarf3 to Breckenridge for Thanksgiving and tried imaging M31 in the freezing cold.
185 subs later, I think the Andromeda shot turned out awesome. Shout out to @naztronomy.com and his amazing Siril script for smart telescopes.

did my first interview in almost two years and I think I nailed it. feeling really good about my chances. my salary req is probably higher than most of the people they're interviewing but my experience and skills are pretty much perfect for the role.

I be been working on processing a 4 panel mosaic of the tadpoles and the flaming star nebulae. The colors are giving me a bit of a fight but here’s where I’m at so far. First off we’ve got a tight crop of the two main targets.

This is the Sculptor Galaxy. It is 25° below the equator in the sky. This makes it a very low object in Minnesota. From Texas, however, this is high enough that I was able to get over 6 hours of exposure time on the object on a recent trip.
