Summer in the Hills
With all the hot, sunny weather after a rainy May, flowers abound in our garden. Lavender and bee balm are early June standouts! Shasta daisies getting ready to pop. And vegetables are already being harvested. Summer days are the best🌻🌺🌻 #homegarden


Messier 1 - A cosmic crab
A reprocess of my M1 data from last November.
Messier 1 is the brightest supernova remnant in the night sky. It is believed the supergiant star exploded a few thousand years ago. A very interesting object, as it appears differently using different filters. This provides the opportunity to process it in many different ways. It was fun working on it.
