My photo of the Hell Plain of the Moon, in infrared, from Oct 4, 2026.
Named after Maximilian Hell, (May 15, 1720 – April 14, 1792) an astronomer and Jesuit priest from the Kingdom of Hungary.
Maximilian Hell is about the most METAL name ever, especially for a priest.

Help Greg and Andrew help more cats!
If you want to help me help shelter cats, last year Gregory and I raised $10k for the shelter I got him from. I’m hoping to do more this year with his calendar sales! cosmicbackground.io/products…

Smile, it’s Monday!
Cownose Rays don’t actually smile. That face is just how they’re built - but I’ll take that energy. #MondayMotivation What made you smile today?

Going back to Cali. Tonight’s target .
The California Nebula 📸
Here's an astrophotography target you can start this month! It's rising higher into the eastern sky each night.
This intense emission nebula lives in the constellation Perseus - and the Pleiades star cluster is not far behind.
This is my latest attempt at NGC 1499 using an ultra-portable camera and telescope rig in the backyard over 2 nights.
As always, I'd love to see your latest image of the California Nebula in the comments 🤓
Equipment Used:
Camera: bit.ly/4cqRi61
Telescope: bit.ly/4dIky9s
Mount: bit.ly/4csp0bn
Total Exposure: 9 Hours

Advice from a total master of his craft.
“A photographer with a rigid vision is almost always frustrated because reality rarely lives up to idealized expectations. Disappointment is nearly guaranteed.”
