Petrified Forest was closed due to the government shutdown, but we did get to see whatever this is, which is almost as good.

We also visited Meteor Crater. It will always be weird to me that meteorology is not the study of meteors.

Bear Creek Falls near Ouray, CO. The water falls over 100 feet into the pool below.

Pictures just don't do these aspens justice. Fall in Colorado is a golden time.

Children die by the thousands. Gun violence is the #1 cause of death for American children.

@stephenking.bsky.social I just found out today that Stephen King got a shout-out in an episode of Quantum Leap in the 80s! I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid. How did I miss it?

Got a computer program that adds diffraction spikes to stars, so now my stars look like stars instead of dots or blobs. I've heard a similar effect can be achieved just taping fishing line across the telescope aperture in an X shape. These are the Pleiades and the globular cluster M13.

The smoke from the Canadian wildfires prevented me from imaging my deep sky target, so it's more pictures of the Moon. These didn't turn out too badly though. 🌙

I've made this (with turkey since I don't eat beef) and it's wonderful. 👍

I think the color is going out on my camera, but I managed to capture Jupiter's Great Red Spot.

So I finally fulfilled a lifelong dream of imaging a deep sky object and it's the first one I ever saw through a telescope: the Orion Nebula! And look at it. I mean, just look at it!

It's a pretty crude gif of the lunar eclipse from last night but I've been up all night so it's the best I can do.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
