Lovely Comet Lemmon as viewed from the shores of Lake Huron on October 25th. This is a single tracked shot of the comet with a visibly blue and jagged ion tail. The Comet image is blended with a foreground image shot untracked. #comet

WOOHOO! My very first APOD ( Nasa’s Astronomy Photo of the Day) I am so pleased and honoured that the APOD team selected my crazy plasma time lapse. It was a pretty unusual sight. They rarely float in the air ( err, I mean space….) like that. #astronomy

My first totally analog photo print! I took the picture with a zero 45 pinhole camera at 50 mm with 4 x 5 black and white sheet film . I develop the film at home and then used the film negative to print a cyanotype in the sunshine!! #pinholecamera #altprocess

I will admit to a small obsession with ARP Peculiar Galaxies ( see the pictures from my big ARP picture book) Ok I may just love all galaxies…. Here is NGC 3718 shot over 2 nights from the Ottawa Backyard at 1960mm foal length

Blackberry Anthotype I have had this image outside in the sun since February with a negative on top of a paper coated in blackberry juice. It came in earlier than planned due to a sudden snowstorm still, I’m quite pleased with it and I think I’ll start another blackberry image ASAP #anthotype

Chasing the dawn eclipse Wedecided to leave at 3 am and drive up the coast of the magnificent Bay of Fundy, known for the highest tides in the world. Glad we did! ( PS my husband is a saint for driving 5 hours that day!)

Good bye to the evening star! Near inferior conjunction, Venus is big bright, close to Earth and a lovely thin crescent. Occurring only every 2 years capturing Venus at this elusive and fantastic phase has been a goal of mine for a long time. So pleased. #venus #eveningstar

Was a busy night on Saturday and not the best seeing but a good refresher on how to set everything up . The moon was out but planetary imaging is not affected by the moonlight and the moon lets me get well focussed before I slew over to the planets.

Messier 82- Some galaxies are especially good at generating bright new stars and have so much galactic dust and gas that they create stars at a furious rate. M82 is also called the “Cigar galaxy” due the red glow of Hydrogen “smoke” emanating from its galactic core.Imaged from my Ottawa backyard.
