Snow is in the forecast this weekend... perfect timing to kickoff the Snowsuit Fund's annual campaign. Last year, more than 16,000 kids in the Ottawa area received a brand new snowsuit - and we're already... facebook.com/jonstewartshow…

Happy with my first attempt at star trails. Need to do this more often... facebook.com/jonstewartshow…

Pretty happy, even if the exposure is a bit out of focus. With some clear skies planned this weekend I'll have more time to get used to the new equipment. And even with the focus issue, it's still a LOT more detailed than the last version of M82 I... facebook.com/jonstewartshow…

Playing around with the "remove stars" actions in Photoshop on a photo I took with my 105mm Sigma lens & Canon DSLR this summer... turning out a rather interesting view of a large portion of the #milkyway. #milkyway #astrophotography #astronomy #astropic #space #universe #galaxy

68% exposure from today's eclipse. The was the maximum from #Ottawa unfortunately. Lots of sun spots! #SolarEclipse2017

Impressed with #GoogleHome Mini, until I asked it about how to set up multi speaker groups. It told me how to set up Amazon's #Alexa #smarthomefail #blackfridaysucker

Tried out a new galaxy last night, M63 - The Sunflower Galaxy. One of the least bright targets I've attempted had mixed results with some equipment issues half way through the night. Also included my "Final"... facebook.com/jonstewartshow…
