Me and my friend discovered a nebula in the sky just as large as the andromeda Galaxy! This is the lightning bolt nebula

Working on editing an image today of a supernova remnant I discovered with a friend! It is almost 3 degrees long which makes it bigger than the andromeda Galaxy in angular size

Inferno Showcasing the B&C telescope situated at Mount John Observatory, a 61cm RC usually operated at F6.25. It's a student favourite because it takes the best photos off all the telescopes at the observatory, while also being the easiest to use.

I’d like to acknowledge that our good friend and rocket photography extraordinaire @johnkrausphotos has been completely locked out of twitter since yesterday, for an arbitrary and silly reason, the day of the biggest launch of his career. Worst possible timing 🤦‍♂️

I started BPS.space almost 7 years ago in the fall of 2015 with the goal to propulsively land a model rocket. I had no background in aero, EE, coding, etc so it took a lot of trial and error, but today I finally stuck the landing 🚀🎉

I spent some time today post processing level 3 calibrated #JWST MIRI data. Was incredibly interesting and fun to work with.
