Fun day today! I headed out to the wreck of the Chester Poling with a buddy's ROV (underwater drone). We did a "dive" on the wreck from the comfort of the boat, found a cool vase/pot, and played with some very curious fish. Afterwards, we did a sunset dive at Pebble Beach in Rockport. Nice!

This 96% waning moon image was captured on November 7th. I've included other recent images (in reverse order) so you can see the change in alignment and shadows over the course of just a few days. Full res + details: buff.ly/LhByEFp #moon #wobble #fullmoon #supermoon #astrophotography 🔭 📷 🌕

Here's the full supermoon from just after midnight on Nov 5th. Supermoons occur when the full moon coincides with the moon being closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit (perigee). Full res + details: buff.ly/Vwjs3Ta #moon #supermoon #fullmoon #astrophotography #touptek #skywatcherUSA 🔭 📷

92% waxing moon from November 2nd. As usual, as the full moon arrives, the weather clears up. Narrowband it is! Tonight's targets are Eastern Veil, Pacman for a bit, and then Monkey Head. Full res + details: buff.ly/MCd3wOE #supermoon #moon #monochrome #astrophotography #skywatcherUSA #touptek

We managed to sneak in a dive between some messy early week weather and an upcoming nor'easter. Check the alt text for critter descriptions! #UnderwaterPhotography #ScubaPhotography #UWPhoto #DivingLife #ScubaDiving #DiveLife #ScubaShooters #fish #lobsters #clams #macro #olympus 🦑 📷

Some images from an uneventful night dive at Fort Wetherill in Jamestown, Rhode Island in early October. The kingfish was the highlight and I captured it in less than 5 feet of water. #UnderwaterPhotography #ScubaPhotography #UWPhoto #DivingLife #ScubaDiving #DiveLife #fish #crabs #olympus 📷 🦑 🦀

As the sun angle gets lower in the sky, my time window for solar imaging from my primary telescope spot is getting shorter and shorter. This image was taken on October 25th. Full resolution + details: buff.ly/NXEdsbX #Sun #SpacePhotography #Astronomy #Science #Space #astrophotography #Sunspots🔭

An afternoon shower rolled through just now and left us a nice, vibrant rainbow to kick off the weekend 🌈 #nofilter #rainbow #rain #colorful #weekendvibes

Boston in the distance from Tipling Rock in Sudbury, Massachusetts on Saturday. We left camp when it was still dark and reached the top about 15 minutes before sunrise. This was a little before sunrise, but the colors got more muted after. #sunrise #Massachusetts #Boston #camping #hiking #nofilter

September diving recap complete! 3 states, 8 dives (including 3 night dives), and a couple tropical critters along with some old friends. buff.ly/v33f9NP #blog #scuba #underwaterPhotography #tropicalfish #divelog

Late September dive at my favorite shore diving site. Not a ton of critters out, but there's always something to photograph. #underwaterPhotography #macro #anemone #urchin #NewEngland #GloucesterMA #olympus #scuba 🦑 📷

This awesome planetary nebula is Helix Nebula. It is roughly 200 light years from Earth and is located in the Aquarius constellation in our skies. Prints: buff.ly/jkvtlV6 Full res + details: buff.ly/QriQ73z #astrophotography #nebula #helix #eye #space #telescope #touptek #skywatcherUSA

Some lovely critters from a September night dive. The juvenile sea raven was a highlight! #underwaterPhotography #squid #fish #trunkfish #nightdiving #scuba #olympus #macro

Love this. I know we're just one state, but I appreciate the local commitment to doing what we can! buff.ly/uvY5AIw

Marine mammals in a bar? How otterly ridiculous.

Several tropical friends spotted on a night dive in mid-September, along with some local favorites. #underwaterPhotography #fish #nightdiving #scuba #olympus 🦑 📷

This image of the 88% waxing moon was taken on 2025-10-03 and showcases the reason I prefer partial moons over full moons: check out Aristarchus crater shining in near total darkness on the left side! Full res + details: buff.ly/KlBqhga #astrophotography #moon #craters #luna 🔭 📷

Solar image from 2025-10-04 - I checked out these sunspots with my eclipse glasses, but they're better with some magnification 😎 Details + full res: buff.ly/hnMn6KJ #astrophotography #sun #solar #solarsystem #star #sunspots #touptek #skywatcherUSA 📷 🔭

Cygnus is a beautiful region of space, with tons of stars and rich nebulosity. With the significantly smaller FOV of my mono camera, I focused on Pelican Nebula this time around. Details + full res: buff.ly/zPy0PV8 Prints: buff.ly/fQpQeK6 #astrophotography #nebula #space #colorful #cygnus 🔭 📷

These sunspots are visible with the naked eye through eclipse glasses! This image was captured earlier today. Aurora activity seems fairly quiet tonight, but maybe that will change. Full res + details: buff.ly/OWyH90U #astrophotography #sunspots #sun #star #solar #solarsystem #skywatcherUSA 🔭 📷

Picked up a shiny Ford Mach-e before the US EV rebate disappeared. Looking forward to many adventures using the power of the sun from our rooftop panels! #ev #ford #green #solarpower #carphotography

I captured this on 2025-09-29, but didn't get around to posting because it's been a busy couple days. Lots of sunspot activity and my phone has been buzzing quite a bit with aurora alerts! Full res + details: buff.ly/ELmVqXQ #sun #sunspots #cme #northernlights #solarsystem #astrophotography 🔭 📷

Not all pictures are winners. This is a northern pipefish, straight on, with focus somehow on the tiny snail on top of its head. I mean, just look at those googly eyes 😂 #fail #badFocus #pipefish #fish #underwaterPhotography #macro 🦑 📷

This is Triangulum Galaxy (M33) in mono LRGB. This visually large galaxy fits perfectly in my FOV and shows a ton of detail with this setup. Prints: buff.ly/XcA1b59 Details: buff.ly/vl4o5VC #galaxy #dso #triangulum #space #astrophotography #touptek #skywatcherUSA 🔭 📷

We did some wandering to find some decent conditions on this day and ended up at the Eastern Point Lighthouse in Gloucester, MA. Such a beautiful spot and we managed to find some critters! #underwaterPhotography #fish #snails #nudibranchs #crabs #NewEngland #GloucesterMA #macro #scuba 🦑 📷 🦀

Five years ago, I had a stereotypical New England dinner: Sam Adams and a lobstah. This particular lobstah was caught by hand by yours truly in Glostah (Gloucester, MA). #lobster #dinner #SamAdams #beer #NewEngland #freshcaught #Boston 🦞 🍺

This is an awesome visualization of the affect of Earth's tilt on daylight hours.

The sunspots are back! The cluster in the bottom right is a very interesting shape. This image was captured yesterday. Details + full res: buff.ly/6Y52w7O #sun #solarimage #sunshine #sunspots #astrophotography #touptek #skywatcherUSA

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

My body decided 5:30am was time to wake up this morning, so I climbed out of bed and looked outside. There was a tiny sliver of moon with a very bright "star" next to it. Turns out the star was Venus! Full res: buff.ly/Ndd6yaf #moon #venus #crescent #astrophotography #solarsystem #space 🔭 📷

First dive at Loblolly Cove was surgy with bad visibility. I found a juvenile boxfish and a tiny lumpfish, but it was tough for photography. We relocated to Folly Cove and had much more pleasant conditions. #underwaterPhotography #snails #tropicalfish #pipefish #macro #Massachusetts #olympus 🦑 📷

Apparently today is World Manta Day, so I took the opportunity to rewatch the footage from my awesome dive in Kona, Hawaii way back in 2015. This is the world famous manta ray night dive and it lived up to the immense hype. #mantarays #gentlegiants #Hawaii #fish #gopro 🦑 📷 buff.ly/NPVyQbV

My current astrophotography rig, now with monochrome camera! Added a ToupTek ATR585M + automatic filter wheel with 1.25" ToupTek filters. Here are the images I've processed with this setup so far: buff.ly/zwyn4f9 buff.ly/j9RUqC3 #astrophotography #gear #blog #touptek #skywatcherUSA #zwo 🔭

Just finished my August dive recap! Between some travel and an underwhelming day underwater on the boat, it's a bit light on dives and even lighter on photos, but still managed some good ones. Enjoy! buff.ly/tulUTHO #underwaterPhotography #macro #crabs #lobster #nuidibranchs #olympus 🦑 📷 🦀

Accidentally caught some aurora last night after surfacing to a beautiful starry sky from a night dive 🌌🤩 #astrophotography #nightsky #northernlights #darkskies #bigdipper #phonephotography #pixel9pro

Got a late start to the session because of clouds, but the bright moon was there lighting up the whole sky so I had to capture it. Full res + details: buff.ly/jkgbzQu #astrophotography #moon #luna #touptek #skywatcherUSA 🔭 📷

The sun is awfully quiet right now - not a lot of sunspot activity. Image captured at 11:34am on September 11. Full res + details: buff.ly/97QqA1x #astrophotography #sun #sunspots #solarsystem #star #touptek #skywatcherUSA 🔭 📷

I didn't take any notes on this dive at Folly Cove in late August, but I did manage a few nice pictures. I had the 60mm macro lens with diopter, so I spent the dive looking for tiny stuff on the kelp. #underwaterPhotography #olympus #crabs #eyes #nudibranchs #macro #scuba 🦑 📷

I am absolutely delighted to share this image of Messier 16, the famous Eagle Nebula. I couldn't wait to point my monochrome ToupTek ATR585M at it and I was not disappointed. Details: buff.ly/qCOVA6i Prints: buff.ly/JaoxcJa #astrophotography #nebula #monochrome #eaglenebula #space 🔭 📷
