Pine Marten in my bird feeder, Almont, CO.

🚨 Did you know? In Colorado, many rivers & streams are blocked by landowners! 😱 Stream access is a right for all. It's about fairness and the outdoor economy! 💧 Join the @co-stream-access.bsky.social in reclaiming public access to our rivers. 👉 Visit www.coloradostreamaccess.org #RightToWade

NGC1333 - on the right, a bright reflection nebula about 1000 light years away in the Perseus Molecular Cloud. It is surrounded by Dark Nebula Barnard 205. Upper left is the star-forming region IC 348 and Dark Nebula Barnard 3. Data captured in Deer Trail, CO. #astrophotography 🔭

The Lobster Claw Nebula (Sh2-157), a bright emission nebula about 11,000 light-years away in Cassiopeia. Also, the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) and the Northern Lagoon nebula (NGC 7538). Data captured in Almont, CO. #astrophotography 🔭

Sh2-150 - a faint emission nebula about 2,900 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. Along side is VdB154, a blue reflection nebula with unkown exact distance. The larger H II emission region is Sh2-145 and it contains several dark nebula. Data captured in Almont, CO. #astrophotography 🔭

The Heart Nebula, IC 1805, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. Happy Valentines Day. #astrophotography 🔭

NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation Cepheus about 3,000 light-years away. This emission nebula area shows glowing pillars of gas intertwined with dark dusty structures. Many summer nights accompanied by my dog, Missy, while capturing data in Almont, CO #astrophotography 🔭

The Wolf's Cave Nebula (VDB 152) is a bright reflection nebula at the tip of dark nebula LDN 1217 located in the constellation Cepheus. It is located about 1400 light-years away and is named after the German astronomer Max Wolf. Data captured in Almont, CO #astrophotography 🔭

It's National Bird Day! Here are four Colorado birds to celebrate: 🔹 White-Tailed Ptarmigan: Changes color in winter. 🔹 Gunnison Sage-Grouse: Critically endangered. 🔹 Brown-Capped Rosy-Finch: Rare, lives at high elevations. 🔹 Bald Eagle: Thriving but still vulnerable. #NationalBirdDay

Pipe Nebula - a pipe shaped dust lane with the Stem (Barnard 59, 65, 66, 67) and the Bowl (Barnard 78) located about 600 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. Captured with my DSLR from Almont, CO #astrophotography 🔭 Happy New Year 🥳

The Rosette Nebula (NGC2237) - a large emission nebula in the constellation Monoceros about 5000 light-years from Earth. Among the gas and dust are several star forming regions including the center open star cluster, NGC2244. Captured with my DSLR from Deer Trail, CO #astrophotography 🔭

The Eagle Nebula (Messier 16) - a cluster of stars with active star formation in a large area of gas clouds and dust . About 5,700 light-years away, it is located in the constellation Serpens and home to the Pillars of Creation Data captured this summer from Almont, CO. #astrophotograpy 🔭

"The number of existing satellites has increased 12 times over in the last five years, with SpaceX alone launching around 60 percent of them" www.astronomy.com/space-explor...

NGC 1499 (California Nebula) - a large emission nebula about 1,000 light years away. It stretches across almost 2.5 degrees of the night sky in the constellation Perseus. Captured with my DSLR from Almont, CO. #astrophotography 🔭

A nice Colorado morning #PhonePics

The Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) is a popular neighbor about 2.5 million light years away. It still amazes me that I can see this clearly with the naked eye from my dark location. Captured with my DSLR from Almont, CO. #astrophotography 🔭
