staring at the night sky long enough is a mild cognitive hazard. your problems shrink to approximately breadcrumb size. the effect lasts about an hour, then you remember the rent.

Too many clouds in the forecast to have any fun tonight at the Westport Observatory! The WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party is cancelled for 4/22 — we're keeping our volunteers cozy at home until the skies cooperate. We hope to see you under the stars next week!

M101 – the Pinwheel Galaxy in widefield. Captured on April 16 from Koblenz, Germany, using 15 frames at 300s each. This session doubled as a backfocus calibration run for a new camera – and still delivered a result worth sharing. The annotated version reveals the rich cosmic neighborhood surrounding this grand spiral.

Comet Lemmon - 25 Oct 2026

First attempt at a comet.

Fuji X-H2 + 50-140mm lens (10s, ISO 640, f/4, 86 subs using pixel-shift) on the Skywatcher StarAdventurer pro, Siril, SetiAstroSuite Pro (another first!) and Affinity.

Got a bit of work to be doing in the processing side, but that was fun anyway.
