Please note, it is very unfinished, 100% of MA, CT, RI, NH and a lot of VT, with some of ME, PA and NY. I also recommend reading the full description of this map.

Great aurora show for the first time since October for me! Was also nice to meet up with @chimneybrick.bsky.social again! This video contains all my timelapses from when the aurora started to brighten all the way to the substorm.

The best image I pulled off my camera of the conjunction of Mars and the Moon, just after it reemerged from behind it! I don't have the best lens in the world but it was enough to see which is awesome. #photography #moon #mars

Got a nice clear (and absolutely frigid) night to do astrophotography on Sunday, and was able to get good shots of Triangulum, Andromeda, and Orion. #astrophotography #photography #galaxy

Took my telescope out into the cold tonight and was able to capture #Andromeda pretty well despite the light pollution. Absolutely love #astrophotography. Still waiting for a chance to head to less light-polluted skies. #deepsky #photography

With a non-zero chance of Northern Lights this weekend, it gives me another chance to post this map I have been slowly putting together. It is a map of aurora spots for the Northeast US! If you want a spot for the aurora this weekend, see below! #mawx #ctwx #nhwx #vtwx #aurora #photography #wxsky

Incredible frost last night/this morning. Almost a leaf-like pattern as the ice spread out. When I went outside last night at ~32°, I could hear the ice forming on all the surfaces around me, was quite cool. #winter #wxsky #Photography

Almost that time of year for me to try deep sky #astrophotography again. This is my attempt last year at #Orion nebula under Bortle 5 skies. Hoping to get another attempt this year with light pollution only 25% as bad.

While looking back on the mostly overlooked October 7th geomagnetic storms, I found this image that stuck out to me for how nicely the #Aurora is reflecting off my car. Wish I had the foresight to angle the car a bit more and get more of my windshield showing... #photography #wxbsky

Lovely #sunset from New Haven, CT this evening. #photography #wxbsky

Oct 7th, 2024, just a few days before the massive G4, we were treated to a much weaker but just as beautiful display. Stitched together timelapse of over an hour, showcasing all 3 phases of the Aurora. Credit to @tornadof123.bsky.social for helping take photos of me on my car. #photography #aurora

Honestly still remains one of the best days of my life. May 10th, 2024 was just incredible from start to finish. I need this to happen again so badly. #aurora #wxbluesky #astrophotography #photogtaphy

Four years of planning for three and a half minutes of pure awe, can't believe that was already months ago. #photography #wxbluesky #eclipse

The rare Connecticut funnel cloud occluding out the back end of this cell from July of last year. This is also the first funnel I've ever been able to capture! #bskyweather #photography #wx

#Comet #Atlas from back in mid October. Was really nice to be able to get this shot just from my backyard. #wxbluesky #photography

Manifesting colorful skies from either solar storms or any kind of clouds that would like to come back to New England and maybe give us some rain.

Incredible 22° halo around the moon tonight, bright enough to see colors with my eyes!! #halo #moon #astrophotography

More #aurora (there's nothing going on weather wise and it's barely rained here in the last month) also desperately need the ability to upload videos.
