Lovely Comet Lemmon as viewed from the shores of Lake Huron on October 25th. This is a single tracked shot of the comet with a visibly blue and jagged ion tail.
The Comet image is blended with a foreground image shot untracked. #comet

WOOHOO! My very first APOD ( Nasa’s Astronomy Photo of the Day) I am so pleased and honoured that the APOD team selected my crazy plasma time lapse. It was a pretty unusual sight. They rarely float in the air ( err, I mean space….) like that. #astronomy

My first totally analog photo print!
I took the picture with a zero 45 pinhole camera at 50 mm with 4 x 5 black and white sheet film .
I develop the film at home and then used the film negative to print a cyanotype in the sunshine!!

The gorgeous Sunflower galaxy Messier 63 located 27 million light years away this big spiral galaxy remind us of Sunflowers, especially the seeds!
Shot with my Big C11 scope and the ASI2600MC colour camera for 6 hours on the fine evening of the April New Moon. No filters!!

I will admit to a small obsession with ARP Peculiar Galaxies ( see the pictures from my big ARP picture book)
Ok I may just love all galaxies….
Here is NGC 3718 shot over 2 nights from the Ottawa Backyard at 1960mm foal length

Blackberry Anthotype I have had this image outside in the sun since February with a negative on top of a paper coated in blackberry juice. It came in earlier than planned due to a sudden snowstorm still, I’m quite pleased with it and I think I’ll start another blackberry image ASAP #anthotype

Wedecided to leave at 3 am and drive up the coast of the magnificent Bay of Fundy, known for the highest tides in the world.
Glad we did! ( PS my husband is a saint for driving 5 hours that day!)
