For those of you just visiting, here are four of my favorite astrophotos I've taken over the years! If you want to learn the #astronomy or #astrophotography techniques behind them, tweet @ me!

@DJSnM in your most recent deep space updates you introduced @SpaceX Stargaze system as cameras that watch satellite transits in front of stars for orbit refinement. I don't believe that's what stargaze is doing. The press releases confusingly use the word "transit". Not likely.

This is a dual mosaic of The Pelican Nebula! The light from young energetic stars is slowly transforming cold gas to hot and causing an ionization front gradually to advance outward. Dense filaments of cold gas are seen to still remain. #astrophotography #astronomy

The firework of the Milky Way core. This is the Trifid Nebula, a collection of Reflection, Emission, and Dark Nebula beating away amongst some of the most star-dense portions of the sky! This also represents the first light taken with my permanent telescope setup!

I love seeing corpses of ancient space relics drifting through my telescope's field of view! This thing must be OUT THERE, tumbling away forever. #spaceJunk

Jeez, I’m just trying to watch my wife and her colleagues prepare to dock a new space capsule to a giant space station while also simultaneously watching a test flight of a new rocket system on my handheld device, how hard can it be? 🤣

First image from our telescope's new home in Texas!!! It's moved from light polluted Alabama to some of the darkest skies in the USA It's setup to be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world Expect a lot more deep space images from us :) @Cathrinmachin

Does anyone know how paramagnetic cryogenic oxygen is? Could it be (easily) manipulated by magnetic fields in microgravity for on orbit refueling?

This is me soaring with Sedona in the background. This weekend was the first time I got to fly through #AZ clouds, and I insist on doing it again soon. #paragliding

@quarkmarc @NAU Marc! I finally found you! Although I've enabled your tweets they don't show up on my timeline. Algorithms here are a mess. I've missed your photos.

I was browsing through some freshly uploaded data from the #JWST (as anyone can do) and came across this spacescape. It's a 7-minute NIRCAM exposure of the Cat's Paw Nebula, looking for signs of water in asteroids. Zoom in! I count 12 asteroids. PC: Trilling Research Group @NAU
