Yes it is. A few more of them can be seen in this photo.

The Solar Eclipse 2026 from the UK as photographed through a telescope. The moon can be seen occluding on the right of the Sun. Sunspots can be seen too.

Nice! I got one of those not long ago with the intention of doing some clock mods. It sounds great!

Nina Richards @ninarichards.co.uk · 12/08/2026

Yeah, it’s not bad! The mount makes it way more substantial than it needs to be, but in essence it’s ‘just’ a decent 500mm focal length telescope with an old mirrorless camera attached.

Taken with a Lumix G80 attached to a 500mm refracting telescope with a full aperture solar for those interested!

I got very lucky with this one - caught a plane passing by during the Solar Eclipse! #eclipse

Does the ARP 2600m do techno? Techyes!

Nina Richards @ninarichards.co.uk · 03/07/2026

I'll have to check but I haven't noticed it sounding too far off so far.

Nina Richards @ninarichards.co.uk · 02/07/2026

First play with the ARP 2600m! Sounds thunderous in here! Also added a little MS-20 sprinkle.

An ARP 2600 has always been on my synth wish list and I finally got the mini version! 😁

The Arp 2600m sits on a shelf in the studio, bathed in blue light. Beaker sits next to it.

I’m told my acceptance speech upset some of the BBC journalists who were in the room. I said what I said and it’s the truth 🤷‍♀️

Filmed a video for new track. Feels good to get back into the swing of things, even broke out the fog machine and lighting gels! 🤣

In my happy place. 😊 Almost finished mixing a new track. #producer #synth #music

The rain mostly stopped just before the march began at Trans Pride Brighton. Huge and energetic crowd!

Back to basics with some dirty acid modular bass driving the Wasp filter hard. That thing never fails to roar! 🎧 #modular #synth #acid #jam

Yes, and completely at odds with the purported motives. They were acting like they'd won the lottery or something.

On a lighter note, from the archives: This wasn't what I was supposed to be making, but it sounds so lush that I had to record it.

Nina Richards @ninarichards.co.uk · 16/04/2025

It's difficult to stay positive when you see people celebrating, with literal champaign, that they've managed to make the lives of trans people that bit more difficult today here in the UK. Stay strong peeps, we'll get through this shitshow. We're not going anywhere. Peace, love and solidarity. 🏳️‍⚧️

I do like seeing the clouds pass in front of it too, adds to the mood!

Managed to get a few good photos of the partial solar eclipse between the clouds. #solareclipse #eclipse

Photo of the partial solar eclipse taken with camera attached to a 500mm telescope (2025-03-29). The moon can be seen occluding approximately 1/4 of the solar disc, from the top-right. A few sunspots can also be seen.

Almost time to fix this again, lasted about 5 years: It's always the cutoff that goes first...

Tip-top 808 with a bit of distortion.

Nina Richards @ninarichards.co.uk · 16/02/2025

There's also the Sy0.5 with some modulation along with Tip-top 808 kick, hats. Oh, a bit of delay and reverb!

Nina Richards @ninarichards.co.uk · 16/02/2025

Sure! Stepper Acid is providing the melody for x0x heart and for Plaits (phase mod) running in 7/4 but with different triggers from Stepper Drum running in 4/4. There's a SEM filtered noise snare via Percall. An additional trigger is rhythmically gating Beads...

New year seems like a good time to re-arrange the modulars. #eurorack #synth
