So, here’s a little background on “Meeting The Creature”, which was published in Across the Margins about two months ago.

And here’s something for the misbegotten, composed by stacking 200 frames from last night’s video. #astrophotography #astronomy #themoon
What you’re seeing, in a place that looks like it’s about to be eaten by the V-shaped asterism on the center left, is Caldwell 1, an ancient star cluster floating above the galactic plane about 5,000 light years from here. At nearly 7 billion years old, this cluster is older than our Sun. Its age makes it unusual among open star clusters, which typically drift apart after a few hundred million years. Its longevity owes to its position outside the Milky Way Galaxy, where it is safe from the forces that act on stars within the spiral arms. #caldwell1 #openstarcluster #astronomy #astrophotography #milkywaygalaxy
You’ll see my stack of #themoon later today. For now, here’s the raw footage I took. Occasionally you’ll see it darken a bit owing to clouds drifting between my telescope and it. #astrophotography #astronomy #solarsystem
Next to the funerary temple of Ramses III was his palace. It wasn’t his principal residence, but it did have throne rooms for Ramses and his Great Royal Wife, Iset Ta-Hemdjert, with bedrooms and bathrooms for both. The Queen’s throne room, with the remains of its dais clearly visible, is in the middle photos in this panorama. #ancientegypt #ramsesiii #luxor
It’s clear out tonight but too cold for me and my toy, so I reprocessed a photo of The Double Cluster from January. Enjoy the starfield. #astronomy #astrophotography #doublecluster #opencluster
I put a photo of M44, The Beehive Cluster, through some reprocessing. It’s not enough to bring out the hot Jupiters known to orbit two of its stars, but it looks nicer. #astronomy #astrophotography #messier44 #beehivecluster
