It's 4.06am. I've finally captured Jupiter and Venus together. Still exactly a week until they appear at their closest. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

🔭Stellafane is one of the coolest places on the planet. More people should know about it, so I’m reposting this, which I promise you is worth 2:44 of your time. The place is 88 acres with multiple observatories. Much more at stellafane.org — dig the groovy retro website style. That site is HUGE.

🧵(2/3) Cropped version to see the detail of the iris. This shot is particularly hard for me since I'm in a light polluted area (Bortle 8).

![The Iris Nebula (also known as NGC 7023 and Caldwell 4) is a bright reflection nebula in the constellation Cepheus. The designation NGC 7023 refers to the open cluster within the larger reflection nebula designated LBN 487.
The nebula, which shines at magnitude +6.8, is illuminated by a magnitude +7.4 star designated HD 200775.[1] It is located near the Mira-type variable star T Cephei, and near the bright magnitude +3.23 variable star Beta Cephei (Alfirk). It lies 1,300 light-years away and is six light-years across.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dksfsl7lygnhrmfxsxcznf3u/bafkreievpmay3ykkqeiyjbwiaw7d75tinwpqueoeqlnpo3ofhuduligghq@jpeg)

Apparently I’m nesting while in denial about the upcoming semester
I finally found a use for our dark little wetbar that we never use: a plant room 🌱 or (with grow lights) a sorta sun room! Note the solar system crossstitch 🧶 A printed canvas of a solar image from my Seestar 🔭 is coming soon too

During its Mars flyby, the Europa Clipper spacecraft also tested its powerful radar instrument.
It produced detailed radar soundings of surface & near-surface topography on Mars (top). Later, the instrument will map the ice of Jupiter's ocean moon Europa. 🧪🔭

From last week here's NGC 6357, also known as the Lobster Nebula. It is a star-forming region located about 5,500 light year from Earth in the direction of the constellation of Scorpius. 🔭

Yes, this is a legitimate number. Yes, for now, it's just doing something cute. But I have big plans for the future, and this is just a starting point. Stay tuned!!! ☄️☎️🔭🦛

Tomorrow morning I'll be up early again, in my last attempt to capture Jupiter with Venus. Will be tricky with the wind. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

We actually have more evidence supporting that the nebula lies within the Milky Way: For example, the separated [O II] emission we detect with our telescope 🔭 at @cefca-oaj.bsky.social.
You can read a bit more about it in the thread I wrote when we presented the paper: bsky.app/profile/alum...

Remember the mysterious oxygen nebula discovered near the Andromeda galaxy #M31? Today we try to decipher it! It's ✨Paper Day✨ arxiv.org/abs/2412.08327 With spectra from GTC (the largest 🔭) and OAJ large narrowband images we find the nebula is actually not related to M31! But how?👇 #Astrophysics

Everything may seem calm and serene when you look into the night sky. Recent energetic radio bursts across the universe might beg to differ. On this episode of @bipisci.bsky.social, we’re “Scoping Out the Universe.” #podcast 🧪 🔭
