A reminder that I have 50 blogs on beginning astrophotography over @SkyandTelescope that are free. skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-blog…

My son introduced me to @NoMansSky and we played on line. Eventually we mostly play alone now. Last night while struggling to do something together we realized if #lightnofire also has janky multiplayer we are going to pass on it. Please make multiplayer a priority for both.

The recent STELLARIS program on @heartsofspace is one of my very favorites in a long time. Listening to it constantly right now while working…. on astronomy stuff ;)

@AstroTanja Winter Star Party - Florida Keys Texas Star Party - also a must do at least once Grand Canyon - more of an outreach event, but man what skies and scenery

USA 🇺🇸 Star party recommendations pls 🤩

Please be a multiplayer overhaul….

@EricLengyel @NASA Ack! Wrong color!

Hey @NASA, that's not what the sun looks like in space.

@erfmufn LMAO!

@erfmufn I did a lot of cool stuff on my first computer. 16kb. Kb. Not a typo ;)

If you can’t imagine building something amazing with less than 8gb ram, I pity you. The whole internet and was built on machines with less. 💻

Point release on MacOS. KosmicKrisp is moving quickly.

Come and see the SkyWatcher USA 100mm Heliostar at the Winter Star Party (SCAS). It’s the only production model in North America. What? You’re not coming to WSP? Tsk tsk… aren’t you missing out!

My locale for the next few days. @thekhronosgroup @VulkanAPI

Yep, that’s me.

I suspect there is an amateur astronomer on the team over at @NoMansSky somewhere :)

📢 The 2026 LunarG Vulkan Ecosystem Survey is LIVE! Your feedback shapes Vulkan's future: SDK tools, validation layers, extensions, platform support & more. Quick, anonymous, and it helps every dev in the ecosystem. Take it now! 👉 surveymonkey.com/r/LRFD7V6 To see the results from last year's survey, check out our just-released 2025 Ecosystem Survey progress report: lunarg.com/2025-ecosystem… #Vulkan #GraphicsAPI @KhronosGroup @VulkanAPI

My "How to Vulkan in 2026" @VulkanAPI #Vulkan guide is now publicly available at howtovulkan.com I still consider it a preview, though I'm mostly happy with it and only plan on changing minor things and incorporating some feedback.

KosmicKrisp is here.

@skysafariastro Hey, nice image there!

I recently reprocessed some 9 year old data on Bodes Galaxy. Didn't come out too bad. eveningshow.com/2025/06/revisi…

It's been zero days since I last typed = instead of == in my C++ code.

I just saw that my favorite game, No Mans Sky, uses @VulkanAPI on Windows and Steamdeck. Heck yeah! @hellogames

@AstroTanja Welcome back! The sky has been waiting for you. ;)

Backyard astrophotography is so rewarding - because it’s so challenging. Coming back online after nearly a decade away, … putting in a lot of time on 2 targets I’ve never been able to shoot well in the southern hemisphere ⭐️

@hellogames I would be thrilled to enable an option to take a few extra seconds when teleporting to a complex base to give it more time to load without glitches.
