Bling!
I managed to get some decent data on Orion last month with the Moon out of the way.
On the left is Orion’s belt with the 🔥 and 🐴 nebulae. On the right is Orions 🗡️ with the 🏃🏼 and Orion nebulae.
All of this is embedded a giant dusty gassy star forming region and if your eyes could stare for hours and add up all the light, this is what you’d see.

The Seven Sisters escaping to and dancing at Atila by Rene Kulitja ✨⛰️👯 🎨
@npub1497…emqx and I finally made it to Uluru earlier this year and bought this painting at one of the galleries. As it turns out, Rene was there that day, so we got to meet her.
The painting tells the story of the seven sisters escaping from the man pursuing them (you may know him as Orion) and finding a safe place to hide and dance at Atila (Mount Conner).
The painting is now stretched on a frame and on a wall at home 😍

Comet Lapse ☄️
About an hour's worth of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) setting over a dry lake in rural Australia, as the Milky Way appears.
The very very bright thing on the left is Venus.
The completely ridiculous streaks that look like anti-aircraft fire are all spamlink and frankly I had rather not had any of those in my photos, but apparently a fascist billionaire and a US government agency get to decide that I have to 🖕

🦋 The bottle brushes in the front garden are covered in Caper White butterflies! #bloomscrolling
There’s like two dozen of them just flapping around and having nectar.

☄️ C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) with the proper camera this morning.
I had the zoom lens on the mount in the back yard doing long exposure deep sky shots, so I used the macro lens for this one. Turns out that was a good focal length for this!
Single 10 second exposure at 105mm.

@npub1sh4…32nx My back yard is in a *very* dark spot, which helps a lot :-)

If you didn't want me to respond with "This is an atrocity" you shouldn't have asked for my opinion on Office365.
