Mars. Well past its best and getting more diffficult to make out surface details now, being below 7 arcsecs in apparent size. I'll keep imaging it for a while longer just for the challenge 🔭

So this is cool. Also fun to see my fellow badger PhD, Dr. Burkhart, and current Chalmers colleague, Dr. Black in the same article. Astro connections and friends spanning time and space. :) 🔭🧪

Come work with me at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center! I am excited to share a FT position to lead production efforts for our Cocktails & Cosmos shows (new every Friday). If live, interactive presenting is your jam and you dream about data viz, we want you! 🔭 recruiting2.ultipro.com/ALA1012ASSEC...

In the Great Hercules Cluster (M13), three relatively dark lanes nearly 120 degrees apart seemingly form a propeller. This was first reported by Bindon Stoney in 1850. Globular clusters may look the same but each has its own special traits. #astronomy #astrophotography #dwarf3
This is the globular cluster M13 taken with the Dwarf 3 scope. A total of 165 30sec exposures were taken and stacked.
We zoom in on the cluster and decrease the exposure to bring out the “propeller” in the core.
The propeller is indicated by the 3 red lines.

I'm hoping to get better at this, but I restacked and processed some old M51 (last year's) data with the new Siril 1.4 beta version. It truly is a pleasure to use! #Astrophotography #Siril
M51  3.5 hours of integration. Processed with Siril 1.4 and some final sharpening with Photoshop.

Video from the deorbit burn of a Falcon9 last night. Shooting at f/1.8, 85mm, and ISO 25600. Result is pretty noisy. I was adjusting the camera to keep the rocket centered. The bright object that it passes is Jupiter (mag -2). #astrophotography #rocket

As promised, I'm back again with a fresh solar image. The big sunspot is around the bend and should be visible with eclipse glasses soon! Fingers crossed for some flares and aurora fun! Details + full res: buff.ly/zRwqYfr #sun #sunspots #astrophotography #photography #space #telescope 🔭 📷 🧪

This starts out cool ("Oh, hey, a failed Venus lander will reenter Earth's atmosphere! Cool!"). Then it gets ominous ("uhh, it may survive reentry and hit the surface -- we don't know where"). A real rollercoaster of exploration emotions! #planetaryscience www.space.com/space-explor...

"In about two weeks from now, on or near May 9-10, an unusual uncontrolled reentry will happen."

NGC 6826 is a planetary nebula located about 2000 ly away in the constellation of Cygnus. Known as the blinking planetary, due to the central star overwhelming the human eye when viewed through a small telescope, causing the nebula to "blink" in and out of vision. #astronomy
