Apologies I’ve been MIA. I’ve been organising our home before baby Luna gets here… only 7 weeks to go. 🥹
Just completed the junk room and the garage. I have to take breaks every 15 minutes because it’s so tiring.

Processing Astro data is like artwork… eventually you develop your own personal style…
Mine is a bit like being punched the face by a rainbow. 😂
😂 look, Life can be incredibly stressful at times so it’s nice to have a pop of colour to bring a bit of joy to life.

What you’re seeing here are different chemical elements
Red = hydrogen.
Blue = oxygen.
This is the Crescent Nebula, Ian & I took this photo with a 17” scope in the California’s desert for our February calendar image

This was 2016, proudly holding my first ever space painting…
I’d just left my job as a video game executive producer after having a huge nervous breakdown
It was the first time I felt like I was working on something that gave my life a sense of purpose.

The calendars launched yesterday :)
If you zoom in, you can see that each of the pages are perforated so you can continue to use the prints once the year is over :)

Behold the Eastern Veil Nebula, a haunting supernova remnant that lit up the skies over 10,000 years ago!
It took a month to capture using our little amateur telescope under the clear Texas skies.
This is also Decembers shot in my 2026 calendar (link in my bio)
