I took this picture of the “Pacman Nebula” NGC 281 in Cassiopeia. More of my astrophotography hobby.

Took some more astropics last night with my new telescope. These are the best I’ve ever made. Here’s the Horsehead Nebula and the Orion Nebula.

I watched Star Trek Section 31 last night. It was a big disappointment. It didn’t even feel like Star Trek. 👎

This is Mr. McCluck. He showed up in our yard a few months ago and has been here ever since. Yes, we’re feeding him.

Some astropics I took last night from my backyard: On the left is the Orion Nebula (M42) and the Crab Nebula in Taurus (M1).

Fencing again after a nearly decade long hiatus!

I’m doing the docent thing today at the Hall of Human Origins at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.

We had clear skies last night, so I took out my imaging telescope. I’ve imaged these objects before, but I decided to do them again with some enhanced telescope software. All photos by me. 😀 1/5

I’m enjoying a morning sitting at home with a cat in my lap and sipping coffee while watching birds visiting our feeders. So far I’ve seen … 1/2.

I took this during totality of the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.

Some of the best astropics that I’ve taken.

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) taken at Gambrill State Park, Maryland in October 18, 2024. The anti-tail is visible in the deliberately overexposed reddish image. Photos by me.
