Hi! My name is Dom and I live in Tampa, FL. My passions are general photography, astrophotography, astronomy, space, rockets πŸš€, physics, telescopes, woodworking and I’m a part time weather geek. If any of these interest you, please say hello as I’d love to connect. I’m very happily married and have twin daughters.

When my allergy med miraculously hit different this time. Yup, some more progress.

@marwellaspaceart Howdy!!! And YAY! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.

Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.

I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.

Quite pleased. My best yet.

This website helps plan observations of the International Space Station transit events in front of the Moon and Sun.

My love for science communication doesn't come from a passion for space. It comes from a passion for making people understand tricky stuff.

Especially, my blog is for those who once had teachers that made them feel incapable of understanding science. Those are the people I blog for. Always have, always will.

@DavidBflower I read over on the bird site about your father, I sincerely hope all is well. Thinking about you and hoping the procedure went well.
The appearance of comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) has (happily) complicated my observing/photography plans. As well as planetary doings I'll be keeping an out for its cometary 'smudge.' Henceforth I am calling it Comet ZTF. #AstroDon #Astronomy #Astro #Space #Astrophotography
