More moon photos this evening. I end up rotating the camera body to fit the shot in frame - I hope the 0.7 reducer arrives before it gets full! https://t.co/oKcXVfBny2

A record of the everyday
Small posts.
A longer story.
Photographs, things I was learning, conversations along the way. A browse through my Twitter / X archive, one year or one remembered word at a time.

First chance to try the new DSLR + telescope, and I think being able to fine tune focusing using the 5x/10x live view method has really helped with clarity // @hellogeri https://t.co/I7LPkKzzG5

Spotted @VirtualAstro mention the moon was visible and legged outside just in time to try a capture with the new DSLR - stunning! https://t.co/Rv5pIzGLNo

This morning we were awoken by a family of noisy starlings and a couple of squirrels - so I decided to shoot them! https://t.co/ChkYQ1MDe5 https://t.co/KnsE0dFMTG

Interesting comparing to the ‘stacked’ short exposure shots I got from a ZWO camera a few weeks back. (The ZWO needs to be driven by a laptop) Zoom in on this image to see just how much more of the star field is captured. https://t.co/CibhiPYzF6

First DSLR + telescope photos last night: I think Spica and the Double Double (Though I did lose track of what I had been gazing at!) These were 20-30s at 3600 ISO #astronomy #Astrophotography #stargazing //@VirtualAstro https://t.co/3QOdRYL9LC

New telescope-related items: T-ring T-adapter and a new-to-me Canon DSLR to replace my 15+ year old 400D (which didn’t have live view for figuring out telescope object focusing) Roll on some dark and clear night skies to explore // @hellogeri https://t.co/vro7o54Yfr

Another stonking clear night for moon-gazing. I think I’ve just about figured roughly where the Apollo 11 landing site is. Full moon Thursday... and if it’s clear I might do more live streaming. // @VirtualAstro https://t.co/eRnC00q1NL

Venus! (and the moon) Experimenting with the stacking app (windows only!) to process the photos I took last night using a ZWO telescope camera. It’s designed for long bursts of short exposure shots, for distant object, trying to compensate for atmospheric disturbance. https://t.co/j4PHA8KVbX

@hankchizljaw @eleven_ty @NetlifyCMS @cloudinary My daughter and I are completely loving the telescope, and prior to that did a lot of star trails using the iPhone. ...and in lockdown it has been great to make the most of what we do have. But it has been a minefield to get started with... hence the new project. https://t.co/3CeTvFaJbj

Just enough gaps in the clouds to try to get higher magnification of the moon with the plossl 17mm and 13mm (along with the standard 40mm) Shot on #iPhone attached to the eyepiece. Also very glad I got a moonfilter I lost all night vision after the first look. https://t.co/4kcIGkfm3p

A record, with its context.
These are the words and pictures from an earlier moment. Roles, opinions, links and like counts reflect the archive; they aren’t a live feed. Historical references to Vercel and other employers remain where they belong.
The export includes 84 video and 25 GIF references without their media files. Their posts remain searchable, with links to the originals. Those links may no longer be available.
How this version is made
Laravel searches the archive and sends 24 matching posts at a time. The photographs are served as smaller, responsive images and can be opened for a closer look. Search, year and media choices are kept in the URL so a view can be shared. Precise location fields and account metadata from the raw export are excluded.
