Good morning, skeeters and Happiest of Caturdays to you!
A post by messier51 that’s a like drawing of a rudimentary cat in a light pink rectangle. This one is labeled “Kitten is Completely Full of Crimes.” A larger version of the drawing is on its right, having outgrown the pink rectangle. This one is labeled “Adult Cat contains the Same Amount of Crimes but it does not dominate all of their behaviors.” The image caption is “my observation from 2 months of kittens.”

Last night i took advantage of good seeing to observe one of my favourite astro objects #messier51 #Whirlpool - I used to sketch these faint fuzzies - but using the same optics and an astrocam has transformed my time under the stars … compare March ‘25 with March ‘12 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🔭 #EAA #Astrophotography
