Final processing of the Leo Triplet of galaxies. I’ve teased out all I can given the data I have and my novice Siril skills! The M65, M66 and NGC3628 galaxies are 35 million light years away! These images are a result of 2.25 hours of exposure with my 85mm refractor…

This is the most Kentucky football play possible. Gotta just cancel the entire program.


Clouds came out unexpectedly and I only got data on half of what I had planned to capture but it was still a fun night. Here is a quick processing of the data from the “Pacman” nebula (NGC281) with only 30 minutes of total exposure time. Over 9,000 light years away in…

Just a note: the images in my gallery (com.xipteras.org/Astroimaging/S…) are early results — taken during my first month with my new Vespera II. Actually, they don’t represent its true capabilities. Since then, my results have improved significantly, and you’ll find many newer images…

As is pointed out below, the SpaceX Falcon rocket will do more launches and carry more payload to orbit this year than the Space Shuttle did in its entire history

Falcon 9 vs Space Shuttle, all launches in one chart. F9 is on track to launch more times in 2025 alone than the Space Shuttle has in its history. Hard to overstate how successful SpaceX’s approach to reusability has been.

Here’s a close crop from the photo I’m sharing with my email subscribers tomorrow. My latest print release is called “Stardust” and it involved traveling to the southern hemisphere to get the shot, something I’ve never done before! If you want to join I have a link in the reply.

Time-lapse of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from last night showing its motion relative to the stars over the course of about 32 minutes.

Eddie Van Halen on playing the solo on Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’. How much he got paid, cheekily getting the ‘permission’ of his band mates, and adding his magic to the hit song. Very cool insight!

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from the night before last. In this image I stacked the stars and comet separately then re-combined them to avoid the trailing of the comet or stars from the motion of the comet.

Finally tried to get a shot of comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) but as I feared, I was staring into a massive sky glow from the city. But the arrow shows where it is and you can see the tiny, fuzzy thing if you zoom in. This is just quick editing with Apple photo editor. Canon…

It’s a great question but as Bernard Goldberg’s landmark book “Bias” showed 24 years ago, the folks in the MSM are incapable of asking, let alone answering, these introspective questions.

2 mile run then walked the dog. I love this weather and glad my running (and left foot) is starting to feel stronger each time I go out. Soon I’ll be at the 10k goal of what I used to do for my long runs.
