Novice astronomer with a penchant for books, I don't ascribe to religious ideology but I love nature/science. I crochet silly stuff and give away patterns for free. Art should be enjoyed/loved. All astrophotography is mine unless noted in post. NO DM'S!

That moment when you collimate your telescope abd everything has lined up perfectly.
Ler's hope the views are as crispy as we hope with low atmospheric distortion!

Now my ankles/knees sound like rice crispies and poprocks when I walk up/down the stairs! My days of being a catburglar are over. I would wake up every human in the house before I made it up the porch steps!🤣

Our entire Spring and Summer was clouds/smoke and high refraction. I feel you! I hope your skies clear soon.

I am just a hobbyist. All of my pics are free to use for the public. I am of the opinion views and photography should be shared, no questions asked. If you ever have a project and need something specific I will do my best to oblige.

Ouch. I broke many a toe in gymnastics as a kid. If it keeps throbbing time for some medical tape.

Good morning, just. Here is The House from NIRA for you while I draw the next witch. I'm sure you've all got your copy of Nira by now, innit.

Strange Victorian house wreathed in fog under a vast crescent moon.

You are welcome to use this in any way you like. I hope it adds to your ability to add definition to your drawings! As a gal born on Halloween night... I think we all have a little witch in us. 🤓

Dobs @dobviewsoh.bsky.social · 3d

Here is a closeup of similar moon to match your witchy views.

I'm always amazed at the results of an average photographer 👋 using a phone camera and no tripod.

Titan as seen through three different filters: August 20, 2013 - From Val Klavans (valklavans.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/fAMQzR

On August 20, 2013, Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), looked for clouds across Titan's sub-Saturn hemisphere from 1.33 million kilometers (0.82 million miles) away. The ISS took a number of images of Titan in different filters. Three of which were used for this composite image. This RGB false color composite of Titan is in 3 different filters: continuum filter (where methane is more transparent), methane band (where methane is strongly absorbing), and ultraviolet.

These images were taken on August 20, 2013 and received on Earth August 22, 2013. The images were taken using the CL1, CB3, UV3 and MT3 filters.

Don't mess with his "waller!" 😂

Luckily the Dob is still offering out of this world views even 2 years later. Best purchase of my lifetime!

Dobs @dobviewsoh.bsky.social · 3d

Crispy views last night but had a heck of a time getting the proper ISO. This phone acts crazy sometimes.
