- Mars and the Beehive from last night. 9 May 2025. My last picture of them. At least this year. Getting too tricky to capture them from my back garden. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour
- I've started some Mars and the Beehive exposures, despite the sky being a touch too light. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography
- On this day in 2022 I was capturing a Waxing Crescent Moon. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour
- Theme: Clouds 🌥️☁️ Post your images of clouds, the more unusual.. the better! 😊 #StormHour #PhotoHour A nice example here by Mamady ⤵️
- Head in the Clouds My judgement was seriously clouded — at first glance, I thought this was an avalanche! #photography #nature #art #blueskymonday #mountainmonday #eastcoastkin #stormhour #photohour #travel #mountains #snow #landscape

- You're welcome!
- This week a failed Venus probe will fall to Earth. Probably won't break up on descent but little chance of landing on someone. Except me. I'm jinxed. 🔭 🧪
- Sorry to hear about your imminent demise. I hope all your affairs are in order!
- Not really. Expected to live until I was 92!
- Although Mars and the Beehive are past their closest, still a fine sight in binoculars and an excellent photo opportunity. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography
