Novice astronomer with a penchant for books, I don't ascribe to religious ideology but I love nature/science. I crochet silly stuff and give away patterns for free. Art should be enjoyed/loved. All astrophotography is mine unless noted in post. NO DM'S!

The moon at 47.8% Illumination

Orion Nebula with no filters. This is what it looks like through the telescope but with a 2 second capture.

I can't wait until I have more wrinkles than Cain's arse... I will make an excellent crone in a few years!

You survived, you've got one heck of an interesting story, you can show others that there is hope and your still smiling! Looks are nice but a full life is worth a trillion pictures!

The entire month of September 2025 on the Sun! The month saw some strong coronal hole and geomagnetic storm action, but lacked significant solar flare activity. #spaceweather #astronomy

PFAS, PFOA, C8 and the growing chemical poisoning that our government is refusing to address. These are forever chemicals that will affect generations beyond us!

Post from Dobviews - YouTube

As someone who was personally affected by PFAS by Wolverine World Wide boot company... this is a helth concern that every human needs to be aware of and star...

That moment when you collimate your telescope abd everything has lined up perfectly.
Ler's hope the views are as crispy as we hope with low atmospheric distortion!

Now my ankles/knees sound like rice crispies and poprocks when I walk up/down the stairs! My days of being a catburglar are over. I would wake up every human in the house before I made it up the porch steps!🤣

Dobs @dobviewsoh.bsky.social · 4d

Our entire Spring and Summer was clouds/smoke and high refraction. I feel you! I hope your skies clear soon.

I am just a hobbyist. All of my pics are free to use for the public. I am of the opinion views and photography should be shared, no questions asked. If you ever have a project and need something specific I will do my best to oblige.

Dobs @dobviewsoh.bsky.social · 5d

Ouch. I broke many a toe in gymnastics as a kid. If it keeps throbbing time for some medical tape.

Good morning, just. Here is The House from NIRA for you while I draw the next witch. I'm sure you've all got your copy of Nira by now, innit.

Strange Victorian house wreathed in fog under a vast crescent moon.

You are welcome to use this in any way you like. I hope it adds to your ability to add definition to your drawings! As a gal born on Halloween night... I think we all have a little witch in us. 🤓

Dobs @dobviewsoh.bsky.social · 5d

Here is a closeup of similar moon to match your witchy views.

I'm always amazed at the results of an average photographer 👋 using a phone camera and no tripod.
