This tiny Astro rig is fast, compact and adorable! 🥹🔭
I’m currently testing the Svbony SV535, which is a fast and wide lens that’s designed with us Astrophotographers in mind!
I’m pairing it with a dedicated APS-C based cooled colour camera and a light weight mount, to keep my setup tracking the same area of sky throughout the night.
I’ll have some videos about this imaging system coming soon to my YouTube channel, so stay tuned and make sure you’re subscribed, so you don’t miss out on any of my future uploads…🎥🔭📸✨

Tiny Architect, Big Vision 🌍 🌱🏗️
The smallest life forms on Earth may help design the biggest future for humanity. 🌊
Algae has been quietly building ecosystems for billions of years, producing oxygen, storing carbon, supporting oceans, and inspiring a new generation of sustainable innovation. ♻️💚
Today, scientists and startups are reimagining algae as living infrastructure: from biomaterials and clean energy to carbon-smart cities and regenerative economies.
Sometimes the future doesn’t arrive with noise.
Sometimes it grows silently in water. 🌱
Would you trust nature-inspired systems to shape future cities? 👇

The beauty of the self is reflected in it.
The Indian white-eye (Zosterops palpebrosus), formerly known as the Oriental white-eye, is a tiny, hyperactive songbird common across the Indian subcontinent. It is easily recognized by its distinctive white "spectacles"—a ring of tiny white feathers around its eyes—and its bright yellowish-olive plumage.
Appearance: A small bird (about 8–9 cm) with a yellow-green back, a bright yellow throat, and a greyish-white belly.
Behavior: Highly social and gregarious, they often travel in large, active flocks, sometimes mixed with other bird species.
Diet: Primarily feeds on nectar, small insects (like thrips), and berries. Because they visit so many flowers, they are considered important pollinators.
Voice: They produce a soft, nasal contact call that sounds like a "cheer" or a faint "zwee!" as they forage.
Habitat: Adaptable to many environments, including gardens, orchards, mangroves, and open woodlands.
The truth about 9/11 is crucial to expose in order to reverse the ongoing U.S. liquidation that was set up to transfer mineral rights, land, intellectual property, securities- along with our civil liberties. - to foreign adversaries. It’s a multi-century plot that replaced the Hoffa of the World with the globe’s most dangerous Zionists - as of JFK’s assassination in 63. It was Maxwell back then & who also attempted to put the plot back in motion (again) in both 1981 & again 1991, with George H.W. Bush set up as V.P. > President. Ultimately, it’s his son supported by the CIA & Mossad who carry out Operation Northwoods, killing 3,000 people on U.S. soil, followed by millions globally. #global #terrorist #pediphile #spies #Epstein

I know I’m late to the supernova party, but better late than never!
As Astronomical Darkness fades until later summer here in Scotland, I’m having a last hurrah with my Skywatcher 130PDS Newtonian.
I’m also giving a new filter some first light and I’ve been SUPER impressed with the quality and results of the Anti-Halo UV-IR from @player_one_astronomy
I was excited to track down the beautiful ‘Splinter Galaxy’ in Draco, which is a lovely spiral galaxy (seen edge on, from our perspective) located over 50 million light years away!
It has been the focus of many images lately, as a ‘new’ supernova was discovered in amongst the dust and stars of NGC5907, to give it its proper designation.
SN2026kid was discovered by Yasuo Sano in April of 2026 and can be seen just off centre of the galaxy’s axis (see image 2).
As the light from this colossal event has taken over 50 millions years to reach us, this supernova is at present a distant memory to the Universe, but with our amateur telescopes acting as cosmic time machines here on Earth, we’re able to ‘see’ these monumental shifts in space and time, which will forever blow my mind! 🤯
Hope some of you out there managed to snap it too and clear skies to you all! 🔭📸✨

A heartfelt painting of mine as a tribute to the legendary David Attenborough ahead of his 100th birthday 🎂. He is a true pioneer, inspiration, and trailblazer for our earth and animal kingdom. 🌍❤️
This piece reflects my love for nature, featuring tiny 1cm animals painted into the portrait 🖌️. Here’s to celebrating a remarkable life and legacy! 🎉 #DavidAttenborough #happybirthday #ArtTribute #NatureLovers #100Years #painting
