I only have 20 min on this, but it is already nice. Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) on the left & Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) on the right. Big star @ top is Alnitak, the left star in Orion's belt.

So. It seems that ChatGPT (or one of the AIs) thinks I am the author of Hatchet. You know, the mid-1980s adventure book written by Gary Paulsen? I once left a review for La Hacha, the Spanish version, so now I get a constant stream of obvious AI "pitches" that reference my authorship of La Hacha. 🙃

My smartphone #astrophotography presentation recording is up. The entire meeting is recorded, but mine starts at this link: youtu.be/7RJhz5C67hU?...

The presentations before mine are from 4th yr students, and after is a young member of my #RASC chapter who had an adventurous summer of science!

Thanks for all the lovely comments and questions. I'm happy to help anyone get started with their phones or anything else! #astrophotography #SmartphoneAstrophotohraohy

Today I turn 50. I'm holding up ok I guess. This is the first birthday I've had any weird feelings, mortality-wise, but it's still pretty cool. You can't get rid of me that easily 😂

You would be kicked out of any writer’s room in existence if you had the villains celebrating a Great Gatsby-themed party while taking away food benefits from millions of poor people.
