Father, geek, #developer and when I have time, avid #gamer.
As well as looking at stars, hiking and eating pies, 2022 was also the year i released my first book.
A heartwarming kids book about a #deaf child and the unusual new friend they encounter.

Charlie and Fuzz: A Children’s Story About Deafness And Friendship.
Light needs about 8 min 20 sec to reach us from the Sun which is 147 million km away.
Let's say this distance corresponds to one sheet of toilet paper. Then the distance from Sun to Neptune is about 30 sheets. Voyager 2, the 2nd farthest travelling human artefact, is about 100 sheets (1/4 of a 400 sheet roll) away.
How far away is the closest star, Proxima Centauri? About 670 toilet paper rolls. And the center of our own Milky Way? 4 million toilet paper rolls.
I think this is my favourite nebula photo that I've taken to date. I shot this earlier this month from my back garden here in Wales. Everything came together just right for this one image of the beautiful #RosetteNebula (or #NGC2237).
Shot using a #zwo 533mcpro through a #WilliamOptics #Zenithstar81 attached to a #Skywatcher HEQ5Pro mount

I guess it's time for my #introduction post here.
I'm Carl, a real geek, I love #tech #gaming #Astrophotograhy and #hiking. Been working as a developer for past 20+ years and now transitioning to the role Solutions Architect.
Just finished and published my first children's book #CharlieAndFuzz a story about a #deaf child.
Looking forward to hopefully meet up with fellow #authors #geeks and #snowdonia hikers on here.
