Spinning while I cook dinner. It's been a while since I listened to this. Exceptional for all 4 sides.

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

Went outside monday, to my light polluted front yard, and pointed my camera at a portion of the sky that I could see nothing but black sky. No stars were visible to my eye. C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) was not visible to my eye. And yet... #TodaysPicture

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
Has the Halloween candy eating contest started? I thought I heard the starting bell.

I wanted to shoot the #FullMoon rising over #CityCenter but recent consruction took away my view from the front porch. Sigh. I did catch a helicopter with the #Moon though! #TodayPicture

I didn't have my camera on my evening walk, so these are iPhone shots.

We recently visited Kolob Canyons at Zion National Park. We realized it would be a great place for a Milky Way photo. We came back later that night and we did it! #astrophotography #astrosky #nightsky #milkyway #nightsky #kolobcanyon
