Another good evening at the DSO. David is helping visitors appreciate some of the faint objects out there under a moonlit sky. #AppState #Astronomy

We can always depend on our local astrophotographer, lead DarkSky consultant, and outreach specialist David Heflin to supply us with striking images of the night sky from Ashe County. Thank you, David! #astrophotography #astronomy

Are you reelin' in the years? Stowin' away the time? Are you gathering up the tears? Have you had enough of mine, yet? I guess the things you think are useless I can't understand.
Thank you Murrow, Sevareide, Chronkite, Rather, Collingwood for keeping an old guy informed back in the day.

We don't get out much during a full moon, but we decided to give it a try for the micro flower moonrise. It was pretty spectacular from the Blue Ridge Parkway. We shared views and got a glimpse of starlink. #BlueRidgeParkway #Moon #Spring

Tube rings on the way for rehabbing 10 inch Meade SN10 (known affectionately as Large Marge) but couldn't resist a few test shots. Pillow adjusted slow-mo controls aren't the best, I recommend this alt-az configuration only for low altitude visual observation 😂
