IC1848 - The Soul Nebula. I am officially blown away by the detail in my first real SHO image. This is just 30 mins on each filter. I can't wait to see the results when I get several hours on it.

After 73 days, Heba, Kamran and Lewie have ended their hunger strikes.
For weeks, tens of thousands of us have been begging Lammy to meet with their lawyers. They had ample time to respond, but did not listen. The government still refuses to engage.

Amongst the bluebells, cat and I lay today basking in the spring sunlight, watching bees landing on the dandelions and lungwort. Birds landing without a care on the seeds
Waddlebog, the Elder wood pigeon without fear walking up and down the celtic knotwork stones, ignoring both cat and I.
Bliss.
