Got the chance to do some #astrophotography this weekend! This is ~8.5hrs on the Iris Nebula: a bright reflection nebula near the North Celestial Pole. My first time shooting IFN, I’m so excited at how much dust I got! (Full resolution at app.astrobin.com/i/di6fqb) #space #photography

My Sharpstar 15028 HNT came in this week and I was desperate to get first light. I traveled 3 hours to avoid weather and shot Markarian's Chain. All in all, I'm pretty pleased. Collimation really straightforward thanks to an OCAL. 60 x 300s #astrophotography #photography #space

Did my first hut trip to Ken’s Cabin this weekend. Unseasonably warm temperatures meant this hike was 6 slushy miles of post-holing — even with snowshoes Still, #Colorado never ceases to disappoint #photography #hiking #camping

I’m back from visiting #portland #oregon for the first time. My husband and I spent most most of our time in the city but spent one whole day exploring the coast. It’s a beautiful and quirky place #photography
