| It’s easy to get caught up in the technical aspects of our hobby- the telescope, the mount, the processing and the camera.
But we are not just technicians and we are not just artists. We are engaged in the space tourism business and our vacation spots are M33, the Andromeda Galaxy and all points in between and beyond. Each one of our pictures is a portal- transportation takes only a glance from the viewer. Space is a place and we produce the post cards. Wishing I were there... The picture, above, is of a nearby island universe located across the Cosmic ocean, off the southern coast of our galaxy- complete with a super massive volcano at it's middle! This one's in the process of eruption! I'm sure all the local resorts are closed for the duration so I wouldn't recommend personally visiting this isle for a few million years! But, if you do, don't forget to take the suntan lotion. |
