I like to go fast. Moved to Boston in 1976 to attend MIT. Decided this was home. The Cradle of Liberty. Retired software engineer. Some of my software flew on the Space Shuttle. Motorcyclist, photographer, hacker, reader of all kinds of things.

Here is an older Honda CBR I found on Mt. Auburn St., Watertown, MA. Note the analog instrument cluster. Still a nice looking bike.

My plans were to have a wall of sunflowers along the street. But the wind and the rabbits got seventeen (17) of them. Still, a few made it. 😎 #summer You can see some bees. Sound up for crickets.

Presenting Melotte 111, aka, the Coma Cluster.
Imaged on June 13th, 2025 in Truro, Massachusetts.
This target was again over 90 degrees away from the Full Moon, so the Vespera Pro was able to reject the bright light very well.

Last December, I got myself a tiny robotic telescope, a Vespera Pro.
This past June, I was able to image M13, the Hercules cluster while we were in Truro, attending the Provincetown Film Festival.
