Looks like Covid vaccine will be available in Connecticut to anyone (6 months and older) who wants it. Great news!
Just heard from a friend who lives in Doha that Israel attacked Qatar today. There were explosions around Doha that shook his apartment building. WTF! I thought all the Gulf emirates were Israel’s friends.
Rode my bike to work this morning. Took longer than usual as I had to stop at every single traffic light.
I just watched Foundation 3x09 “The Paths That Choose Us” trakt.tv/shows/fou… #trakt
I am so confused. Have no idea what’s going on. This is all so different from the books.
Exactly one year ago, we saw Northern lights in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland - first of four wonderful nights of this fantastical display. It got better and better on every subsequent night.
Last night, I watched Foundation 3x08 “Skin in the Game” trakt.tv/shows/fou… #trakt
The Veil nebula from the constellation of Cygnus. This is a 2 frame mosaic with 2 hours of data capture (40x3min) for each frame. Taken with William Optics UltraCat108 attached to ASI2600MC-Duo with Optolong LeXtreme dual band filter. Processed using SIRIL and Photoshop.
Loving this early preview of Fall. I wouldn’t mind if this just continues on without Summer raising its ugly head again before the real Fall season.
It was time for the biannual dentist visit this morning. In the second half of the year I am always afraid that they are going to tell me to get something done to use up the insurance benefit. Surprisingly, the dentist said everything looks good, keep up the good work. phew!
Absolutely love it when SCIENCE works! Today is going to be a great day no matter what else happens.
Veil nebula is a supernova remnant - an expanding cloud of gas resulting from the explosion/death of a massive star. This image shows only the western part of this large nebula (covers ~6 full moons) which lies at about 1500 light years in the constellation of Cygnus.

Conditions are quite good for astrophotography tonight. Able to get 2 hours on western veil so far. The forecast says clouds by midnight. Hope to catch one more quick target before that happens.
Good to see that construction of new windmills off the shore of CT, RI and MA is still continuing.
Hope I don’t get cancer from being near these windmills.
A couple of nice cool mornings with temps in 50s. Good to get this assurance from the Earth that Summer will officially end in a month.
I watched Blade Runner (1982). It is vastly different than the book it is based on but a good movie. Up next is Blade Runner 2049.
