My first try at the Tulip nebula in full SHO.
Taken 2 days before the shortest night of the year is not the best time to image!
Very noisy and needs lots more data, but I was quite pleased considering the conditions.
Roll on winter dark nights!

A book you definitely wouldn’t survive if you were dropped into the book. Pure by Julianna Baggott. (This series is amazing btw). #TAR #TheAmazingReadathon

#TAR #TheAmazingReadathon A book that left a mark on you. (I can’t say why without major spoilers for the Holly Gibney series). #TARRoadblock #Roadblock

It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day! #GAAD There are loads of accounts on Bluesky posting brilliant things BUT without alt text - which means lots of us will not repost these. Alt text is really easy to add and Bluesky even has a setting to stop you posting images without it 1/

A #Roman pottery colander found in Vindobona, present-day Vienna. Just like today, colanders were also an important utensil in #Roman kitchens - and the form hasn't really changed. Form follows function.
