Who knew that an extra 5mins or so of data would reveal so much more cool detail!!!! C/2025 A6 Lemmon on Friday night. #comet

So, you can't pay for parking at The Oracle in Reading unless you have a smart phone. QR code only. No mention of this when you enter, just a sign saying it's "ticketless" parking....

Finished picture of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon. Got about 5mins of usable data but it brought out plenty of cool detail. #comet #astrophotography

Sneak preview! Managed to get a few frames of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon - processing anon! #comet

So glad Israel can be trusted to keep to a ceasefire. Oh. Quel fucking surprise.
But it's fine because it's Israel and no-one is allowed to criticise Israel. Over anything. Ever. Including genocide and ethnic cleansing. Apparently.
FFS.

Why I am not using AI in the classroom Last week I spoke with some of my colleagues about the “challenges” posed by generative AI to our teaching. As anyone who follows me on Bluesky — or followed me on Twitter, prior …

To all my American friends and followers out there protesting for #NoKings - stay safe and stay loud!

This is not really being covered here in the UK. It should be. Pay attention!

Americans, you deserve so much better than this.

Let’s make sure Saturday is just the beginning.

We will overwhelm this regime with dignity and a fierce, non-violent “NO!”

#NoKings ✋🏼

Now I know where they got the plot for 'Men in Black' from....

The stunning Heart Nebula in more traditional tones - this is a narrowband image composed of separate layers of H-Alpha and Oiii, obtained using a filter that only lets those wavelengths through. COOOOOL! #astrophotography #nebula

She clearly doesn't know there isn't a door...

Why won't Nigel fucking Farage just fuck off and get in a bin? Prick.

The Heart Nebula in an autumnal hue. This emission nebula is a gorgeous target and I'm really pleased with the result. I will do a 'traditional' edit so you can see the real colours too. #astrophotography #nebula

I can't believe they thought that chips were historically accurate for the period...

Despite stupid #longcovid I made it to the #redroses final yesterday. An amazing day and huge thanks to all the staff at Twickenham & the various train stations for helping me get there. Feel a bit like I've been hit by a truck today but so glad I went!

Proof that you don't need much to get something cool. This is 12.5mins of exposures using a DSLR, old 35mm lens, and a basic star tracker! #astrophotography #dslr #milkyway

Iris in the Darkness. The Iris nebula is a reflection nebula caused by a bright star shining through dust. There are dark nebulae here too which are too dark for starlight to penetrate. 14hrs 28mins from my back garden. #astrophotography #nebula

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Also....
#Autism is NOT A DISEASE. It can't be "cured", there are medications that can alleviate and help certain types but it can't be "cured". Nor does taking fucking painkillers "cause" autism. Nor has the orange-faced fucktrumpet got any clue about anything apart from how his hair works.

Once again the orange-faced cockwomble is making claims based on nothing that only serves to harm and cause more stigma. As a parent of an #autistic child I can safely say that paracetamol has NOTHING to do with it. Fucking prick. #autism #trump #eatmyballstrump

Haha! I was most relieved when I discovered my hearing loss WASN'T to do with all the gigs I've been to!

I got my first hearing aids at 36...

My 7yr old has solved the #flatearth arguments - he built this model and pointed out that now everyone can be happy. Boom.
