Learning to see myself with the same kindness I give to others. 💜

Learning to be patient with the person I'm becoming too 💐

My first dahlias, grown on my balcony and now brightening Dad’s house.
After the chaos, a little beauty found its way back. 🌷

A quick view of the Rosetta nebula - From Ángel López-Sánchez - https://flic.kr/p/2kLxJKy

I didn't want to miss getting a nice image of one of my all-time favourite nebulae, the Rosetta nebula, before it was too late in the season and moved into the west.

This image combines 15 x 60s exposures in each color channel, using broad-band filters B (blue), G (green) and R (red). I also tried to achieve natural colours (i.e. the colours we would see with our eyes).

The data were taken at 10:30pm, Sunday 15 March 2021, from Siding Spring Observatory (near Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia).

I used a ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro at -20C with the ZWO 2" BGR filters, my new 7x2" ZWO filter wheel, a Skywatcher Black Diamond 80mm with an Orion x0.8 focal reducer (effective focal length 480 mm, f/6). I used the ZWO ASIAir to control the camera, filter wheel, the mount (Skywatcher AZ-EQ6) and the guiding system (ASI120MM + Orion 50mm finderscope).

The data have been processed with SIRIL, then converted into TIF using Fits Liberator using a logarithmic stretch, and finally combined in Photoshop to get the colours and the final details. Darks, flats and biases were used.

I usually try to get at least 30-40 frames per filter, but as I said this was a compromise to get a nice colour shot of this nebula before it set, and hence I took 15 exposures per filter, and only 60 seconds each (and the highest gain in the camera, hence the noise that can be seen when zooming in). Otherwise I would have taken ~5 minute exposures with a lower gain and 40 of them.

In any case, I hope you li...

Golden light spills wide,
Smudged glass softens evening’s glow—
Home feels close again.

Wander & Wonder @rtb2024.bsky.social · Sep 26

After a restless night,
the morning sun spills
gentle light across the room.

Birthday cards brighten the mantle,
flowers lift their faces,
reminding me of love close by.

Friday has come—
a doorway to pause,
to breathe,
to gather joy for the days ahead.

Long nights, gentle hush,
Gran’s stew warms the quiet air,
Home inside each bite.

Feeling that urge to connect with nature again. Too many screens not enough trees.
