Today... almost exactly ONE YEAR LATER ... our friends from Texas came to visit us, again!

So awesome... and again their daughter and our daughter spent hours and hours together as best friends. ❤️

Such a beautiful day 🥰
(and boy am I tired... haha)

M100 --- reprocess of my data

Hi all,

I have re-visited the data for M100 (from my data capture last year). I hope you like the result!

Snow today in Las Cruces!

Snow in mountains (and in our backyard), today! My daughter was so happy and immediately went out back to play. I took this picture from our backyard... 25 January 2026 ❄️❤️

Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) - PUBLISHED! (print!)

Honored!!

My NGC 6888 image is featured in the Astronomical League's "Reflector" magazine (Dec 2025, Vol 78, No 1). PRINTED.
(and featured as First image in Gallery!!!)

I received it in the mail today - awesome "next day" Christmas Present 🎄

"Reflector" is a *printed* national magazine where my work has been featured before (for those of you tracking) 🙂 The Astronomical League consists of over 240 amateur astronomical societies across the United States.

The original version I have here on my page as well as at my main site.

I captured this nebula this year during my last outing and using the big RC Truss-tube scope. Woohoo!!!

Rio Grande Gorge...

Yesterday.

Have wanted to see this for a long time. As part of our last-minute road trip, we went to check it out yesterday (13 Nov 2025). Incredible views 😍🤩❤️

We arrived back home today in Las Cruces around 1:30pm.

The Sun --- and sunspots (close!) - TODAY (5 Nov 2025)

Hi all, Today I did the wider view (similar to before), and then extended the FL to check out the interesting sunspots and prominences area of the Sun, today (5 Nov 2025).

Just the longer FL attached here - full disk data are separate.

Thanks for looking!
