Star Trek Las Vegas Convention 2023

Though the actor/writer’s strike blocked the actors from discussing past, present and future projects, fun was still had by most who attended. Panels involved actors discussing their charities, personal lives, and other non-work related topics. Some convention goers were disappointed, but we all understood the necessity for the actors to follow the rules of their union. I made the top 20 in the cosplay contest by crocheting a complete Klingon outfit. You can see more of it in my blog post in the craft section.

Sunspot the size of four Earths

The darkest sunspot, the one at the two-o’clock position, is four times the size of the Earth. Sure brings home how truly massive our sun really is!!! I photographed this with my 300mm lens at 1/500 sec, f/16, 100 ISO. Solar filter attached. False color added.

Multiple sunspots are seen during the sun's active phase

Kelvin–Helmholtz Clouds

Kelvin–Helmholtz clouds half an hour ago. I’ve always wanted to capture these clouds, but have yet to get the classic wave shape. These are close, but not the holy grail I’ve been hoping for.
