I've installed one of my telescopes at an observatory in Texas. I will be remotely imaging from my home in Taiwan. I'll have more deep-sky objects to share very soon, from two telescopes, 12 hours apart.

Green Island's Youzihu reef in Taiwan was once occupied by an aboriginal tribe that abandoned it. You can still see old ruins there.

I captured the newly discovered comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon. It was first observed earlier this year by Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona.

That’s some interesting work, very creative. Thanks for the info. about the residency for astronomers. I’ll remember to inquire about it.

Sounds wonderful. I’ve been to the Grand Canyon a number of times. It’s one of my favorite places to visit. I’ve not brought my telescope there with me. It would be something I would love to do. 💙

They are killer looking. ☠️

Thanks, I captured the newly discovered comet that the Lemmon Observatory in Arizona discovered early this year. I'm processing it and will post it in the coming days.

JBGarrity Photography @joegarrity.bsky.social · 1d

They were creative thinkers for sure. 😆

You’re welcome. I we were allowed more characters per post, I’d provide more details and info.

It did stop just long enough. I was surprised that it didn't scurry away. They are constantly moving.

Thanks, I like the combo. Super macro is amazing. I'm hoping to do some stacking once I get some additional gear.

They are so small that they are easily overlooked.

These Lynx Spiders are super tiny, so I added my Raynox DCR-250 to my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens.

Thanks, yes, I have the advantage of two nights in 24 hours, two telescopes, each on opposite sides of the Earth.
