On Aug. 12, 1981, the great grandfather of the computers we all know today was born: the IBM PC. Who, among all the nerds, excited then, could predict that 40 years later the grand-grand-children of the IBM PC, with ifinitely more computing power, will be used mainly to watch porn and spread hate?

A WL and a Ha from this morning. Nothing spectacular but its nice to see that the Northern Hemisphere is now catching up on spots (Double Peak) after being dormant for a great deal of last year

Day 5 of my Global Meteor Detection System. Just one camera at the moment but some nice Perseids captured last night despite the cloud cover and moonlight. #meteor #perseids @southcheshireastro.bsky.social

Moon and Venus conjunction. A bit of a grab shot as cloud and rain was rolling in. 2 mins later, they were gone. It looks dim, but the moon is correctly exposed. DSLR and 400mm lens

Jupiter. 20250102 Probably my best image yet. Ganymede and Io are the two moons visible.
