Aurora visible from far south eastern Arizona tonight. #Aurora

Major dust storm just occurred in far south eastern Arizona. Taken from Paradise, Arizona #azwx

Due to staffing issues, the Tucson NWS is no longer sending up a 12Z sounding. This sounding is a meteorologist's most important short-term monsoon forecasting tools. This data is also critical for the accurate weather modeling of monsoon thunderstorms.

Video of landspout “tornado”. Less of a tornado more of a dust devil. #azwx #nmwx. South of I 10 along the New Mexico Arizona border.

Landspout. I hesitate to call a tornado! South of I 10 near the New Mexico Arizona border. #azwx #nmwx

Fire season in the SW will be BAD, especially AZ/NM.

Nebulosity near the star Atik in Perseus. Besides the H II nebula, there is also a lot of obscuring dust. The image is mainly LRGB using a Esprit refractor. #astrophotography

This is my first attempt at the Squid and the Bat. The image uses mostly HII and OIII. However, the OIII data (the Squid part) was insufficient, and I'll have to get more next year. It is VERY dim. #astrophotography

Rosette Nebula, NGC 2244. This image is a blend of LRGB and H II and O III. Taken with an Esprit 100 with a .75 Riccardi focal reducer. #astrophotography

Amazing structure in mountain wave clouds over Silver Peak Chiricahua mountains. #azwx

Hello BlueSky. #azwx

This shot was taken a bit later, on October 8. It was amazing to see Aurora twice this year!

I lost my beautiful best friend of 12 years on Thursday. Willow.
💔

I'm so glad to be here!

I took this around the same date. It was taken with an 80 mm refractor, f4.5, and a mono camera with LRGB. Processing became a PITA because of RGB star trails, which had to be removed and replaced.

The Seagull Nebula. is a 2-panel mosaic taken with an 80mm refractor.

Aurora from 32° north ( SE AZ) on Monday night. #aurora #azwx
