Green Island's Youzihu reef in Taiwan was once occupied by an aboriginal tribe that abandoned it. You can still see old ruins there.

I've installed one of my telescopes at an observatory in Texas. I will be remotely imaging from my home in Taiwan. I'll have more deep-sky objects to share very soon, from two telescopes, 12 hours apart.

I captured the newly discovered comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon. It was first observed earlier this year by Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona.

That’s some interesting work, very creative. Thanks for the info. about the residency for astronomers. I’ll remember to inquire about it.

Sounds wonderful. I’ve been to the Grand Canyon a number of times. It’s one of my favorite places to visit. I’ve not brought my telescope there with me. It would be something I would love to do. 💙
