Novice astronomer with a penchant for books, I don't ascribe to religious ideology but I love nature/science. I crochet silly stuff and give away patterns for free. Art should be enjoyed/loved. All astrophotography is mine unless noted in post. NO DM'S!

Happy Pride Month! -Dobs

Sukhjot Singh "This fierce peregrine mom was patrolling her territory to provide a safe airspace for her newly fledged babies. I thought she was going to attack a few gulls that flew close, but she decided to take a hard right and turn around, offering a rare face-to-face moment with the camera."

Happy Pride to all of my extra family friends who enjoy sitting under rainbows of acceptance. -Dobs #happypride #pridemonth #lgbtqai+ #acceptance #nature #photography #astrophotography

The setting sun in Cbus is quite... surreal this evening. #sunset #photography #nature #naturephotography

New sunspot 4105 is visible on the right side of the solar disk today. Let's hope it stays busy!

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

Honoring the man who started my journey through the stars... my father Wayne. As a kid we sat in bortle 3 skies in East TN and learned about the planets and stars from him. Thanks dad, I miss you. Dobs is the sprite on lower left.

Couldn’t sleep last night, went for a walk #photography #night #aurora

Welcome back to this little asshole, who slipped out the door five days ago and only just now came back

48 1% Waxing in Blue Skies a little fuzzy due to smoke. Sorry.

The skies are cracking open for aurora and so far... timing is excellent for sunset! Let's hope it lasts!

For US residents... right now we have heavy smoke but the aurora is also crackling with a low Bz. Will we be able to see auroras through the smoke, unknown. But... all we can do is try. Good luck and stay safe. Please consider donating to help Canada (our sane and awesome neighbor to the North.)

For UK viewers... if these conditions remain or increase... you could have quite the show right after dark! Fingers crossed!

Simplicity at its finest. The Sun gracefully crosses the viewfinder with birdsong in the background. Enjoy a moment of calm with Dob's view. #astronomy #sun #nature #astrophography #photography #smartphoneastronomy

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and #ESAGaia join forces to revisit the fate of our galaxy. Doubt is cast on the long-held prediction that the Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in about 4.5 billion years. Read more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪 ☄️

A spiral galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey. It is at redshift 0.008 (lookback time 114.4 million years) with coordinates (226.89482, 19.58242). 35 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo 2.

4 sec timelapse of 60 seconds. Our beautiful Sun dropping below the tree line without a light filter offers an orange hue in the smoke filled skies of Ohio. Ok to video for a short time but I still will not be looking for too long. One glance is enough. #sun #timelapse #nature #photography

40.1% Waxing Moon The clarity if these two shots kind of amazed me considering the poor viewing with smoke haze. #astronomy #moon #nature #astrophography #photography #smartphoneastronomy
