My smartphone #astrophotography presentation recording is up. The entire meeting is recorded, but mine starts at this link: youtu.be/7RJhz5C67hU?...

The presentations before mine are from 4th yr students, and after is a young member of my #RASC chapter who had an adventurous summer of science!

Thanks for all the lovely comments and questions. I'm happy to help anyone get started with their phones or anything else! #astrophotography #SmartphoneAstrophotohraohy

ProPublica (former client) was started by a billionaire savings and loan couple.

So, yeah, great time for someone out there to emulate that action.

Anyone who has ever said cats are independent creatures has never tried to shut the door while going to the bathroom without one.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Today I turn 50. I'm holding up ok I guess. This is the first birthday I've had any weird feelings, mortality-wise, but it's still pretty cool. You can't get rid of me that easily 😂

I haven't done smartphone astro in a bit because I got an astrocam recently. However, I'm doing a smartphone #astrophotography talk on Friday. Toronto area folks, join us! It's free/open to the public (w/ paid parking). Here's the info: mississauga.rasc.ca/event/potpou... Attached are my own images.

You would be kicked out of any writer’s room in existence if you had the villains celebrating a Great Gatsby-themed party while taking away food benefits from millions of poor people.

I will never understand Reddit. Who downvotes a request for bookkeeping recommendations? And yes, I looked at older posts to see if it had already been asked and answered. Fuckin' Reddit, man 🤣

I'm not saying Trump is an authoritarian who would lock up reporters for investigating his party, I'me just saying his party members think that.

Behold: Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon. This is one of my favourite things I've worked on so far. #astrophotography #cometLemmon #comet

I'm in Mexico for work. Here's a picture of a lil rainbow in the clouds over the Gulf of Mexico.

Just realized I forgot to share this, NGC 2793, the Helix Nebula (a.k.a. Eye of God, for obvious reasons!) this is about 90 minutes of exposure time, and it looks great, though I want to do more to bring out the faint part at the lower right. Enjoy this beauty!

My first comet photo! This is C/2025 R2 SWAN which is fading, but it's up a bit later after sunset so it's been an easier target.

There's a much brighter comet in the mornings but I'm trying it later this month. (It's called C/2025 A6 Lemmon if interested.)

@cnn.com what do you think boycotts do? They add pressure by causing discomfort. It's doing its job.

I'm a lot more worried about people who need to fear for their lives because of Trump administration policy than I am about business owners who probably voted for this anyway.

Grow a backbone.
