Very surprisingly my 127mm Mak (on a camera tripod) image of the 6.5 day old moon has been shortlisted in the 2021 Royal Museums Greenwich’s "Astronomy Photographer of the Year" competition. #APY13

Whoever at The Times and The Sunday Times who selected this image has never attended a lecture online. Generally lecturers screen share rather than stand in front of a hand written whiteboard.

Can’t help thinking that BBC News (UK) might more usefully employ their camera crews by capturing news rather than their camera crews in action.

Well done Victoria Prentis. That’s the way the cookie crumbles Rishi.

So my coffee Huel subscription has been upgraded to coffee caramel. That’s nice. Nicer still to have been informed it was happening in advance. Wonder if I’ll like it? Wonder what I’ll do if I don’t?

Interesting, Digital Archaeology has an unused fully furnished office in the market place in Banbury. I wonder why.
