Although one can spend days in each one of them, we visited three museums in London in one day to view a few selected objects:
National gallery: Van Gogh and Monet paintings British museum: Rosetta Stone V&A museum: Tipoo’s tiger
Visited the white cliffs near Eastbourne on the south shore of England. These views were just breathtaking.
Squeezed in a bike ride with Yatin on a foggy Sunday morning during this London trip.
Went to Totenham stadium to watch the Spurs playing ManU with Adit. It was fun navigating through the tube system to get there. I was impressed with the stadium. Even though it was full at capacity, going in and coming out was a breeze. The second half was exciting but the game ended in a tie.
Went mushroom hunting with my daughter. Found some good ones. We are not confident enough to identify and eat the correct ones - maybe one day that achievement will get unlocked.
Congratulations to Indian Women’s cricket team for winning the World Cup!!! This whole tournament was so good except for some matches that were messed up by rain. Feels like Women’s cricket is much more exciting than Men’s cricket these days.
All decked out in Indian outfits for my nephew’s wedding in Houston. Got this picture at the venue after the ceremony was over.
Visiting Houston for a wedding this weekend. This place is so huge! Our last trip here was in 1995. Can’t compare as I don’t remember anything from that time. Weather here seems quite pleasant today.
First attempt at capturing the Pleiades (M45) cluster with my new imaging setup. Got only 25 one-minute subs before clouds spoiled the night. Will be adding more exposures to this in coming days and weeks.
Caroline’s rose (NGC7789) is an open star cluster in Cassiopeia. This was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783. This area of the sky has so many stars that it is hard to differentiate the cluster from the background stars.
Comet Lemmon from last week. Finally got around to processing photos from Nikon Z6. 25 six second exposures taken with 70 mm lens at f/4 were stacked to make this image.
Comet Lemmon on Oct 21, 2025. I really like how the ion and dust tails are clearly visible. This image is a stack of 226 ten second exposures. Total exposure about 40 minutes.
Comet Lemmon from last night. Nice coma and tail can be seen.
Taken with Nikon Z6 with 70-300 lens at 300mm f/5.8. 30x10sec exposures stacked in Siril. Focus wasn’t perfect. Will try again tonight with a refractor.
