The moon was really mooning the other night. #astrophotography #space #moon #nyc
She’s round. She’s tidally locked. She’s admired by billions. The moon, pictured here, just hanging out in the sky, living her life - like a boss.

Got a nice shot of M33 (Triangulum Galaxy) a couple nights ago! Not bad for #nyc

Got a quick shot of M31 (Andromeda) last night! Kind of awkward positioning, and a little too much star removal - but I still like it. #astrophotography #space #galaxies #urbanstargazing #nyc
Lovely Andromeda (or M31) as seen from my bedroom window in nyc.

Someone needs to get his eyebrows done #schnauzers #nycdogs
Arthur, a standard schnauzer, does his best impression of a unicorn - as only a schnauzer in need of a haircut can: tongue halfway up his nose, brows akimbo.

Got to see some amazing things in the Caribbean - namely M8 (Lagoon Nebula) & M17 (Omega Nebula) #astrophotography #space #lookingup
Lagoon Nebula as seen from St John, USVI Omega Nebula as seen from St John, USVI (imho it kind of looks like a creepy mask?) Another shot of the Lagoon Nebula. Such sparkles!

Had a nice break from all the rainy nights lately, and was able to get a passable shot of M29 (passable when you factor in nyc light pollution anyway…) #astrophotography #space #nyc
A 47 minute shot of M29 (Cooling Tower Cluster) in the constellation Cygnus. I’m happy with it, but there’s significant light pollution in NYC. Gotta work with what you’ve got I guess?

Truths have been told at #nokings #nyc
A delightful New Yorker brings facts “fascists can’t get it up”. No pills for this unfortunate ailment - democracy is the only cure.

Spent some time with my favorite star last night (Vega). #astrophotography #stars #space #nyc
Vega is a lovely star in the Lyra constellation. LOOK HOW LOVELY SHE IS.

Managed to get a shot of NGC6888 (Crescent Nebula) last night! Should have let it go a while longer - but I was feeling sleepy.
#astrophotography
This is a photo of NGC6888 - also known as the Creacent Nebula. Space is so cool.

Dogs are genuinely the best creatures, IMHO. Here’s mine, protesting my declaration of “going inside”:
Arthur, a glorious schnauzer, protests going back inside after his afternoon stroll by laying in the middle of a brooklyn sidewalk. “But first, dear treat lady, we must bask in and enjoy the warm sunlight, its cool dancing shadows spread beneath these sturdy verdant trees, and sing with one voice, “fuck trump”. And so it was. And so it shall ever be.

Spotted on my run this morning #nyc #running
An adorable polka dotted worm snake looks at itself in a mirror. Such handsome. The aforementioned handsome polka dotted worm snake is large and glorious. It stares at itself admiringly on these brooklyn streets.

Late nite play time with my baby seestar s50. She knows what space is all about.
Whirlpool galaxy looking all gorgeous …. Just out there. So pretty. Swirly and pretty. Fish head nebula looking at me with its weird guppy face. It’s so nice.

Tried out the Seestar s50 last nite. It went very well. #lunarsky
This is the moon! This is also the moon, but a bit more zoomed in. Even more zoomed in picture of the moon, I was trying to get the medium between the visible slice of the moon, and the part we can’t see.

Update: couldn’t wait for evening, so gave the seestar a go just now.
Holy crap it’s the actual SUN. You can even see some sunspots. Please know that I’m extremely, irrationally excited.

Lolcry at cnbc not needing any more context to answer the question of “how markets are moving now”. The photo says it all.

Arthur continues crushing doghood. #dogsky #nyc
Arthur, a meticulous schnauzer, gets the last crumb of treat from his snoot, with his tongue.

Arthur is absolutely crushing doghood. #dogsky #nyc
Arthur, a noble schnauzer, permits a few photos to be taken, while perched on a rock beneath Brooklyns finest bridge. Arthur, a stately schnauzer, picks his own nose with his tongue before singing the songs of his people at a squirrel.

May not really look it from the pic, but this was a VERY BIG BIRD.

Pretty sure it’s a red tail hawk? #birdsky #nyc
This freakin giant red tail hawk is BIG. Think, “ok, yah I’m seeing the dinosaur connection now” big.

He’s throwing a tantrum. This guy is SO defensive. You are telling me that this emotionally volatile person is in charge of the CIA?!
John Ratcliff, Director of the CIA, throws a tantrum.

Throw back to this absolute UNIT going bananas on a pumpkin on Roosevelt Island in NYC. #squirrelsky
This squirrel is an absolute unit, eating the absolute fuck out of a pumpkin on Roosevelt Island in NYC. Get in there, buddy.
