I invite your prayers for the repose of the soul of my grandma, Jeanne Blerot, who passed away yesterday at the age of 99 years.
Here’s one of my favourite photos, from just after my first Mass (along with my grandpa who went to the Lord a few years ago).

The Pleiades star cluster aka the Seven Sisters aka M45:
444 light years away, its glow can actually be seen with the naked eye if you’re in a dark enough place. Look toward the lower east in the early evening.
Enjoy!

WOW.
I set up the camera to record a time lapse of the incredible northern lights on Nov. 11, 2025.
Nearly 800 frames later, I am seriously blown away.
Enjoy!!!

Here’s my photo of comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) using my #astrophotography rig.
It’s visible the early evening to the NW from my yard in Saskatoon. I’m glad I took this; with it not returning for 1,150 years, it’ll be harder to see it once it goes. 😆

California Nebula, about 1000 light years away.
This was fun to capture! My setup fits half of this nebula into one photo at a time. So, I captured each half-image over two nights and then combined the two photos in software.
Enjoy!

The Sadr Region in the constellation Cygnus contains some bright nebulosity that looks especially stunning through a narrowband filter, hydrogen-alpha wavelength.
This is a view from Saskatoon with 3hrs of exposure time. The Sadr star is at the top & is 1800 light years away.

After a few clear nights lately, here’s some more #astrophotography:
Wolf-Rayet 134 and the surrounding nebulosity looks quite neat with 4.5 hours of total exposure time. I especially love the bit of blue in the bubble nebula that’s being lit by the star.

Supernova remnant from 10-20 thousand years ago:
The Eastern Veil Nebula
About 2400 light years away, I took this image from my back yard in Saskatoon using a dual-band filter to cut through the light pollution.
158 minutes of total exposure time. Enjoy!
