On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply

I put together this little video with behind the scenes of my latest ISS transit shot. You can see how it looked live through the telescopes (real time speed is NUTS) vs after the processed image. These are so rewarding to capture 🤓

This is the biggest Water Reservoir in the known Universe, more than 12 billion light-years away, equal to 140 trillion times the volume of Earth’s oceans.

One of my favorite captures since I got into this hobby: the aftermath of an X class flare on the sun. These loops trace the invisible magnetic field lines on the sun, while moon-sized gobs of plasma rain back down onto the surface.
