One of my favourite Moon photos 🌔taken through my scope 🙂
James Harrop

Am I the only person who thought this was a caterpillar at 1st glance?

Something that I hope to spend more time on now that I've wrapped up my PhD is astrophotography.

This photo of the Milky Way was captured over the dark skies of the Ozarks in August 2020. Designated as an International Dark Sky Site, the glow of light pollution is still visible on the horizon, in this case the light dome from Little Rock and surrounding areas.

This photo is a stacked and tracked 30-image composite taken over 30 minutes.

Check out what's going on under the spines of this hedgehog! In this rendering I've given him sonic vibes, but he's sure not going anywhere fast 🦔 #oVertTCN

The truth is that even big collections of ordinary books distort space, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned secondhand bookshop, one that looks as though they were designed by M. Escher on a bad day and has more stairways than storeys and those rows of shelves which end in little doors that are surely too small for a full-sized human to enter. Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.

Have you ever seen an oak tree dance?

Britain is full of 'lost' rainforests, predominantly in the southwest and northwest of England, west Wales and the west coast of Scotland. There are other areas where the conditions are perfect too, like this one in the Peak District National Park.

When the rain starts and the cloud base drops into the rainforest, the trees come alive. Everywhere you look, there is magic and mystery.

A higher resolution Moon image taken from the Orion capsule, processed by me, showing the far side lunar features very nicely.

Literally every visual talk I have ever attended starts this way, except ours obviously #VirtualMeetings #Talks #Presentations #Zoom

Took this picture of the Wizard Nebula from Mexico City. I like the subtle nebulousity that this region has. Used a Player One Uranus-C OSC, Rokinon 135 mm @ f/2.8, l-enhance filter to gather this data during a couple of nights.
