This episode contains my first ever scientific scoop and I had to make sure I didn't go live until they had published! 🎙️🔭🦛

Another great episode! I love Frank’s work.

People often ask which telescope I use for astrophotography. So I thought I'd share a bit about my gear. I have a wide-field refractor and a Schmidt–Cassegrain. In a future post, I will also share my underwater camera rig. #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #eck #photography

Live stacked Saturn from last night. The seeing conditions were horrendous but still got something. #astronomy #astrophotography #space #saturn

I hate today.

Another day, another patching a million little servers. www.php.net/archive/2026...

One of my personal favorite past episodes! 🎙️💃🔭🦛

Hey folks. Here's one of the animations I did showing an O'Neill Colony - basically a hollowed out cylinder in space. This one is 35km long and 9km across and spins once per minute (if I remember) to provide 1g gravity. Please repost! Spread the love! Made in #blender. #sciart #scifi

I have been working on visualizing the appearance of proposed space mirrors on the night skies. As the beam approaches it appears as a column of light emerging from the darkness. At the beam center of a 600 km high 54 m. mirror the reflection gives a light similar to that of 38 Full Moons, 9.5 Lux.

Please. Someone go see this and make a friend happy? 😀

Who says I don't?

The #1 episode of the past 30 days! 🎙️🔭🦛

I can't wait for this one to do it's thing! 🈴🦛🔭

@astroroyalscot.bsky.social Moniak Mead! I will happily figure out a way to repay you (including tons of cash) if you can figure out how to get it to me! 🥂🔭🦛

Beautiful! 🪐🔭🦛

NGC 7822, The Question Mark Nebula. I feel like it's been forever since I've imaged, and I'm pleased with how this one came out. This is the central region of what I hope to be 3x3 mosaic by the time I'm done. 🌌🔭🦛

I always said "If you can invent a way to put more minutes in the day, you'll be a bajillionaire." I guess The General Conference on Weights and Measures is VERY SLOWLY trying to do just that! ⌚🔭🦛

#Astrophotography is both easy and hard.

A haunted house where every room has several telescopes with expansive views of the sky through 100% perfectly clear crystal ceilings but you live in Western New York where the days are beautiful and the nights are cloudy. And it snows a lot.
