The Whirlpool Galaxy (Same shots from last night, but re-worked with a different stacking app : Astro Pixel Processor for Mac.) Glad to see some progress, but takes hours to process on my old machine. // @VirtualAstro @SimonPJelley @hellogeri https://t.co/UhuvJp1hzW

Whirlpool Galaxy My first attempt at stacking - what an incredibly powerful, but somewhat complicated process. Thank you so much to @SimonPJelley for all you guidance yesterday #astrophotography #galaxy #astronomy #universe // @VirtualAstro @hellogeri https://t.co/RQ7CRXDp3k

@SimonPJelley The Astro photography has already been better than I had expected - got a nice lucky shot of the ISS - but the more I see amazing shots by people such as yourself, the more excited I am to explore and experiment further. https://t.co/SRcF5c1O8b

I’ve attended two fantastic evening workshop run by Rob from @dgquarterly It’s been over a week since the last one, and I’m still waking up on a Saturday morning perusing and pursuing ideas that have taken seed from those courses. More courses to come: https://t.co/hFK7F9MpYB https://t.co/pswwuMTvzE

The #ISS shot isn’t quite as well focused tonight, but what a lovely clear evening to take in the glorious #moon // @VirtualAstro https://t.co/KbuV712eK0

Hey @VirtualAstro - what time are we looking for an ISS flyby tonight? Few days ago, mostly by luck, snapped my first ever photo where I could make out some details (I was moon watching when my wife spotted it). So exhilarating I’d like another bash. https://t.co/e7YKbaAfou

@Anna_Dillon Now that you’ve got me thinking - I checking the ISO and exposure settings of the shot that worked last night and will see if I can use and interval timer to give me a better chance of getting lucky.... Last night it was my gaming skills to click the release as the dot passed https://t.co/uGHYiGS5MW

A fighter that size couldn't get this deep into space on its own. He must have gotten lost, been part of a convoy or something. Look at him. He's headed for that small moon. That’s no moon..... https://t.co/dNX8in7OY2

Wowzers ..... I managed to get a photo of the #ISS where it looked like something more than a blurry spot! @VirtualAstro I am loving this Astro journey of discovery you got us started on https://t.co/6u2j649izU

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

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

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.
