Trump is still a cunt

In the end the stars were the friends we made along the way.

I made an allsky camera out of spare parts and poo pipe from Bunnings. Saved myself like 2 grand by not buying something off the shelf. Video here if you’d like to do something similar : youtu.be/pN4XNNMMjl8

Thanks @paramountobs.bsky.social !

Thanks Rami! What a huge honor … I was one of their first collabs on their young instagram and now I’ve come full circle on their 3m+ account !

Thanks for watching and the kind words :) life has slowed me down recently too but I’ll get back on the horse soon.

HULLLOOO

Hanging with FILLIPO from @PrimaLuceLab and the Testar crew at @IAC2025sydney ! They wouldn’t let me take the new focuser because it’s the “only one in Australia”. Pshhh 😅

lol weird. At least we weren’t fucking.

Tylenol support group

Anyone going to the 76TH INTERNATIONAL ASTRONAUTICAL CONGRESS (Sydney) next Friday? Apparently it’s a free day so I’ll be hanging around 🍻

🍆 💨

Once you go black …

Take that northern hemisphere

10% talent/tylenol, 10% effort, 40% equipment and 40% weather/conditions!

Cancel this fascists

M17 Omega is like the TEMU version of M42 Orion. It kind of has the same shape and colours but looks like it's been hitting the crystal pipe and has fallen on hard times.

Geez thats a bit fancy 😂

Cable management is for the man who changes nothing :) I change my image train like I change my underwear. At least once a month.

Hahaha of course

One of the most important steps in astrophotography.

You guys aren’t ready for this level of sophistication.

Just give me this one

If the DOD is now the Dept. of War … surely US Space Command can be STAR WARS again too? Make America Dorks Again! 🇺🇸

I looked and snapped for about an hour :)

G’day :)

Is it nap time yet?

Any other aussies wake up at 3:30am on a work day Monday? 😅 Quick single exposure to see the stars close to totality. Next one in March is at a much more forgiving evening time.

You’re upside down !

Attention whore

Saturday night's 97% Moon. When it hits 100% around 3:30am AEST tomorrow, it will go blood red as we enter the totality of a full lunar eclipse. Not the best time for those of us with day jobs, but there will be an evening one in March 2026 if you miss this one.

Sign the petition you little bitch

Debugging the equipment in the observatory.

Thank you @estherrockett.bsky.social 👏🏼

Yeh that’s messed up. There are a lot of “good intention” policies here but nothing ever happens and nobody is ever held to account. The sky just gets worse.

Seriously fuck this guy

We have TWO WEEKS to get 7k Australian 🇦🇺 signatures on this official parliamentary petition to deal with the insanity of street lighting and light pollution. Please add yours mates. Or you know, (pictured). www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Is Trump Dead?

Zoom in and leave your (numerous and significant) Earth problems behind.

Have you listened to turnstile yet ?? youtu.be/E6VzUpEyylE?... the kids are ok

My boi newton got shafted

Where is the outrage over Apple’s logo? We could’ve been rocking this bad boy on our doom bricks.

It’s like raaaaaiiiiiin on your wedddding dayyy

Imagine having your solar daytime astronomy session ruined by a *f#+king* streetlight. Is that irony or just basically unfortunate?
