Another semester comes to an end. Learned some wonderful new skills including game design, which was a lifelong dream of mine.

Here is the result of a #Pixinsight processing of the Iris Nebula / NGC7320.
Image 🔭 #Seestar S50 from 21/11, 11mn exposure.
You can really get a lot of signal out of these images!

There’s no such thing as A.I “art.” It’s a soulless amalgamation of plagiarised data. That is the antithesis of art.

This has to be my favourite JWST image yet. I'm just in awe. Look at this thing.
The pale blob in the centre is a foreground elliptical galaxy. The light swirling around it is a more distant spiral galaxy, gravitationally lensed into a ring. 🔭🧪
