I was finally FINALLY able to get a photo of NGC 7000. Every time I’ve planned on it, I’ve faced some kind of obstruction but NO MORE! Woo! #astrophotography #space #stargazing #nebula #abouttime #🔭

At long long last, I took a picture of NGC 7000, aka North America Nebula. I’m quite happy with it, especially the dark and interesting bits on the left hand side. *pats self on back*

I think this is the best shot I’ve ever taken of this one, and I’m pretty jazzed! About 25 minute shot of NGC 6995 (the Bat Nebula) under great conditions. I kinda expected Batman to show up and start fighting crime. 🦇 #astrophotography #space #nebula #thebatsignal #ngc6995

Is Batman on his way? Bc NGC 6995 actually showed up last night in all of its colorful glory, and I did a little happy dance. Carefully, obviously, didn’t want to jostle the telescope. This is The Bat Nebula, and I’m a happy lady with a telescope.

Gorgeous reds, greens and a smudge of purple… what else do you need really? I guess maybe Batman?

Really enjoying the opportunity to indulge my favorite hobby whilst on vacation. Got a lovely shot of V3903 last night! #nebula #astrophotography #stargazing #space #areyounotentertained

V3903 Sagittari (aka Chinese Dragon Nebula), taken in the East End of St John USVI last night. I am a happy lady with a telescope.

The aforementioned pathetic disgrace. The sycophant, liar and bootlicker - Marco Rubio.

A liar. A sycophant. A bootlicker. A pathetic - and dare u say it - little “man”, marco rubio.

I’m pretty happy with my photo of m104 (sombrero galaxy) from last nite! Very little plane traffic on a clear evening makes for one happy lady with a telescope #astrophotograhy #space #galaxies

M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, just beaming directly into my eyeballs (well, my telescope lens) for a full half hour last night. As seen from NYC.

Finally got my (paper!) copy of @chanda.blacksky.app’s excellent new book! *claps in the key of nerd*

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein’s new book, The Edge of Space Time, sits on my favorite reading chair, next to my favorite window, eagerly awaiting my eyeballs.

There were a tragic number of clouds obscuring the view of the #lunareclipse this morning, but I did get a nice shot of the moon beforehand. She’s so pretty. #moon #moonpics #moonphotography #space

The moon was really mooning the other night. #astrophotography #space #moon #nyc

She’s round. She’s tidally locked. She’s admired by billions. The moon, pictured here, just hanging out in the sky, living her life - like a boss.

Got a nice shot of M33 (Triangulum Galaxy) a couple nights ago! Not bad for #nyc #astrophotography #galaxy #space #urbanstargazing #nyc

A shot of M33 (Triangulum Galaxy) - taken from NYC. SO PRETTY.

Got a quick shot of M31 (Andromeda) last night! Kind of awkward positioning, and a little too much star removal - but I still like it. #astrophotography #space #galaxies #urbanstargazing #nyc

Lovely Andromeda (or M31) as seen from my bedroom window in nyc.

Someone needs to get his eyebrows done #schnauzers #nycdogs

Arthur, a standard schnauzer, does his best impression of a unicorn - as only a schnauzer in need of a haircut can: tongue halfway up his nose, brows akimbo.

Got to see some amazing things in the Caribbean - namely M8 (Lagoon Nebula) & M17 (Omega Nebula) #astrophotography #space #lookingup

Lagoon Nebula as seen from St John, USVI

Omega Nebula as seen from St John, USVI (imho it kind of looks like a creepy mask?)

Another shot of the Lagoon Nebula. Such sparkles!

Had a nice break from all the rainy nights lately, and was able to get a passable shot of M29 (passable when you factor in nyc light pollution anyway…) #astrophotography #space #nyc
