Physiology experiments on my bike for fun… white is power, red is heart rate. Wonder if there is a wearable constant blood pressure monitor to integrate as well?

The best part of useless university admin meetings is sitting at the back and processing telescope data from a few nights ago. Quick processing of 6.5 hours of Heart Nebula data… need to nod sagely to make the ass Dean feel important, but happy to see what my redcat51 did here.

It’s the sad time of year when it is too dark to bike home safely and I’m stuck biking inside on Zwift. Plus the buses here love to pass the bikers and then pull into the lane and stop. Saw this is Basel, bike lane goes behind the bus stop!

At first I thought my camera had a glitch, but after reviewing individual frames, it seems like there was a whole train of satellites that messed up my Comet Lemmon shot! #astrophotography #A6Lemmon

Best part of having a meeting on the other side of campus is the shortcut through the gardens this time of year.

This is my first time… and great set of talks to start.

Most scenic bike ride ever… from Interlaken to Stechelberg, locked bikes and took the tram to Murren, then back.

When hikes look like this, you also need to stop for photo breaks! We will be up this way for a bit and then to Basel for the Basel Breast cancer meeting!

Early yesterday morning I caught Comet Lemmon going past the Little Pinwheel Galaxy. At mag 6.2 it is rapidly getting brighter. 15 x 5 min images on Redcat51 with ASI533. #comet #Lemmon #astrophotography #cometlemmon

For reference, this is the same settings for the moon. Nexstar 5SE riding on the AM5 mount with the ASI462 and a 2x Barlow. 2500mm equivalent. Clearly need a bigger OTA!

A once every 15 years thing… Titan is transiting in front of Saturn. In a few minutes I’m hoping to catch the shadow as well. #astrophotography #saturn

Always get more nervous for my student talks instead of my own… but sitting at the back I can see a lot of heads nodding in agreement for Anthony’s talk about our BioID data.

Live view on the telescope while sitting on the couch… still amazes me how many advances in the past few years for backyard telescopes! M31 with a 5 min exposure.

Second time biking East Lansing to Mackinac on DALMAC this past few days, we rode that long blue line all the way up the state. Fully supported, camping at high schools with meals along the way. Lots of fun with 400 new friends!

Strong aurora forecast so we sat outside and saw a lot of satellites and only a tiny bit of aurora.

Weekend paddle down the Au Sable River, 35 miles of a beautiful river. So many birds from eagles to kingfishers and warblers. Recharged and ready to review the last few R01s in my pile now!
