Horsehead and Flame Nebulae, from my backyard.
Let’s see if this gets more engagement here than it has on the platform formerly known as Twitter (zero none nada).

Happy 69th orbit around the sun to...me! Just wish I'd been born a day earlier so I could share a birthday with John Lennon instead of David Lee Roth. 😂

Was attempting to get better colors when I realized some of Saturn's moons had been captured, which was pretty exciting! There were 4, but I couldn't quite tease out Dione. Had enough trouble with the other 3! Not sure if these colors for Saturn are any better/more accurate/whatever, but I like it.

@CarrieLikesCoffee Thanks for following. It's not in my profile, but I'm an avid comics reader, too.

Gotta love Twitter algorithms. I have over 2,000 followers there (small account, but many more followers than here) and this photo has garnered *1* 'like' there. Got 65 here.
On Twitter even people that I engage with on a regular basis don't see my tweets unless it's in response to something they have posted.
Maybe it's because I block nearly all of the 'promoted' tweets?

My first time imaging Saturn. From my backyard the night of 9/1-9/2

It's past time for me to admit I'm no better at social media than I am at socializing in real life. 🤷‍♂️

I'll never understand how so many people can be so hateful.

Not an especially good #Perseid photo, but the only one I was able to capture in my severely light polluted skies. Jupiter is rising at the lower right.

The Orion Nebula, also referred to as M42 (Messier 42). Imaged from my backyard on 1/13/2023 and reprocessed.

The Rosette Nebula, imaged on 1/14/2023 from my backyard. I posted this before but this is reprocessed and, in my opinion, much better.

And think what this means for amateur astrophotographers.

Stumbled on the solution on my own. Never did get that callback from xfinity. 🤷‍♂️
