Woke up this morning to the new #TaylorSwift album downloaded, and as usual, it’s a highly accomplished body of work, clearly highly personal as a subject. Listen to The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. An astonishing track of break up and betrayal.

So apart from my usual ADHD meds, which are amphetamines, today, to sort out my ever bunged up sinuses, I got a steroid spray. I won’t be passing any random drug testing programmes any time soon! #ThursdayMood

#OTD in 1970, Apollo 13 splashed down on Earth - to the relief of not only those closely involved, but to the world.
Their return is still one of the UK's most watched TV broadcasts in history.
I've 'hand' colourised this famous B&W shot of the celebrations in Mission Control:

I’m still locked out from doing anything productive, so have some bluebells… #bluebells #photography #hampshire

Logging on early to get ahead of the game. Apparently, I no longer have a valid SharePoint licence. I’d report it, but to log an IT fault, guess what access you need to log it…you guessed it…I’ll wait till the helpdesk opens in an hour! #tech

My first go at the Flaming Heart nebula - IC405, using my Seestar S50. 37 mins, 09/04/24. A rough edit on my phone. #Astrophotography

The M51 whirlpool galaxy - exactly the same data used for both of these images, except one the first, duller one was done created using just the jpeg and the second from FITS files on the SeeStar S50. Amazing! Thank you for the lesson Daydream Astro🌈⃤ and Jonathan Wood! ZWO

The King has cancer, the Princess of Wales has cancer. I wish them both well and for them to recover fully.

What I can’t abide are the “what we know so far” stories everywhere.

Some aspects of life for everyone are rightly private and this is no different.

The Moon and M101. Finally a clear night! #Astrophotography Seestar S50 - 30 mins on M101. A start.

I learned today, disturbingly, that if you photoshop me into this photo, I look like Dave Grohl. Not such a bad thing, unless you’re the Royal Family or Dave Grohl! Foo Fighters #photoshop

When I went to walk the Itchen Navigation this morning, I wasn’t expecting to be an active participant in the Itchen itself…this is the Shawford to Winchester stretch, much worse by the airport. We had to turn around there - 50m of horrible murky water. No ta! #winchester

Comet 12p Pons-Brooks this evening - 15 minute stacked image using my Seestar S50 - #Astrophotography #comet Daydream Astro🌈⃤

Watching Arsenal thrashing Sheffield United, you can’t help but think Arsenal could have 11 goalies on the pitch and they’d still win 17-0. #SheffieldUnited #arsenal 4-0 in 24 minutes, desperate.
