Astro post! It's been a bit, but here's an image of a favorite subject I captured over the winter: Thor's Helmet Nebula. This object trails Orion in the night sky and is pretty low on my horizon. Most images are just Hydrogen and Oxygen, but I grabbed Sulfur data as well and included it in my processing.

☘️ St. Patrick's Day has arrived! ☘️

To celebrate the occasion along with the arrival of spring, here's the Tulip Nebula processed in a very green way instead of natural red.

I took the rare break in the clouds as an opportunity to get my first moon image in awhile. This image was captured on January 27th with the moon 74% waxing. Lovely, as always!

It has been a busy couple days for Earth's magnetic field as the sun has been pummeling us with material. With all this sunspot activity, it's easy to see why!
