❄️🌨️ Weather wins. Astronomy waits.
With 13+ inches of snow on the ground and dangerously cold temps, the Westport Observatory will be closed tonight (1/28) for the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party.
Stay warm, stay safe, and we’ll try again next Wednesday—the universe isn’t going anywhere. https://was-ct.org/

Clouds win. 🌥️
The Westport Observatory will **not** open tonight (1/14). We’ll try again next Wednesday—clear skies, fingers crossed. https://was-ct.org/

I had a simple dream: put two giant telescopes on one mount and become a god-tier astrophotographer.
What actually happened: I may have created a gravitational threat to local infrastructure and possibly broke a guide camera I dropped before even powering anything on.
This video has it all — reckless optimism, questionable engineering, emotional damage, and way too many bolts.
Enjoy this tale of ambition, imbalance, and the moment my mount silently begged for mercy. 🔭🧠💥

Anakie Observatory: Turning an Empty Dome Into a Stargazing Beast
We rolled into Anakie with one mission: bring an empty dome to life.
In one chaotic day, we installed the telescope, tested it, made sure the dome’s roof actually opens (crucial), and even dug a hole to relocate the cloud sensor like true astro gremlins.
Now this beast is ready to stare deep into space and silently judge humanity. 🔭🕳️🌌

How Did I End Up Hosting Science Talks on a Tropical Island??
So… I somehow ended up helping host a science festival on a remote tropical island… and yeah, it was as wild as it sounds. 🌴
Welcome to Lord Howe Island Dark Skies Festival — where I ran nightscape photography courses, helped host the pub science talks (yes, actual science… in a pub), led the kids’ "Blast Off!" space class, explored the glowing light walk, visited the Lord Howe Island Distillery (because science needs gin), and spent every night imaging under some of the darkest skies on Earth.
Between the stargazing, science chaos, and way too many camera batteries, this was one of the most unexpectedly amazing trips I’ve been on.
Seriously… how did I end up here?

@Mjack Worst #film I saw in the cinema? Event Horizon
Watched with other attendees at the 1997 PPARC summer school for new #Astronomy PhD students in Liverpool. It was hilariously bad science. I don’t know if the horror aficionados in the audience appreciated the peels of laughter from our corner of the cinema! #AstronomyLife -

Drama at the NRAO Guesthouse as a burst water pipe means everyone is evacuated to a local hotel!
(Flooding fortunately confined to the laundry, but there's no water in any of the rooms)
