I seem to have some Dark Avengers in my garden.. #bees Google Lens only identifies these new black bees as either German or African πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Hope they stick around for the wildflower blooms either way 🐝

Love seeing nature in action #bees Wildflowers will be incredibly abundant in about 2-3 months in my garden. I really hope the honey bees will stick around for the new blooms 🐝

If the clouds stick around the entire month, I'm going to start doing some extremely colorful re-edits πŸ”­ #astrophotography I'm really glad I did a couple overnights on Bode's Galaxy when I had the chance.

Cheers to everyone celebrating their escape from the Matrix tonight 🍻 What a damn amazing thing it is to be here, alive, right now.. Mars on the left, Jupiter on the right, Capella center top. πŸ”­

I've had nothing but clouds since Feb 3! This will likely be my last edit on our sweet cotton candy Orion Nebula this season πŸ‘‹ πŸ”­ #astrophotography πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

I got more capture time on M51 and started on M81 last week. Unfortunately, by the time Sombrero comes out, the hard drive is full 🫀 I'm super excited to see NGC4277/4278 resolving more below M51. πŸ”­ #astrophotography

I initially wrote M33 into my first slot for Feb targets, but there's too many first-time captures out there for me left this season. Specifically, a lineup of Orion's nebulas, and, a few Galactic surprises are in store for February πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ πŸ”­ #astrophotography

Will this nearly 4 day old moon ruin any of tonight's captures? Are my fries and fish sticks burnt from editing this too much? I pray we are all lucky this evening πŸ™ πŸ”­ #moonhour

El Sombrero is at its peak at 4am... I may have to set an alarm and get more time on this icon so I can show its saturation proper respect πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ πŸ”­ #astrophotography

Reprocessed my M51 data from December with my newly gained GHS experience. Turns out ~2 hours of data was enough for some decent detailing 😲 πŸ”­ #astrophotography Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend πŸ‘‹

7 hours of data quickly turned into 2 and a half! Definitely learned not to integrate faint galaxies recorded during full moons πŸ˜… πŸ˜’ Also farewell to M74.. it was fun watching you spiral off screen and now off my target list πŸ‘‹ πŸ”­ #astrophotography
