Fun with "night sight" on a Pixel phone in a moving car.

Moar photos of last night's sky. #winter #astronomy

Had a wonderful time with @DrewWrasse and @ConnorW out in the cold last night, stargazing and taking photos of #Orion, #Taurus, and the #Pleiades.

Working our way home after a really nice weekend with family in #Wisconsin.

It is freaking lovely cold today. ❄️ 🥶

@snowdusk super-diggoing that Last Starfighter cover.

So, when I installed the #Pixelfed app a few days ago, I first opted to try to sign in using my mastodon instance. But the app said my instance was not able to do this. Is this a server configuration thing (which I can fix!) or a Pixelfed thing (they do not yet support all mastodon instances)?

☀️🌑 Is anyone else super stoked about the upcoming solar eclipse here in #Canada?

A beautiful winter #Sudbury morning!

@drskyskull No good deed goes unpunished. ;-)

I'm not able to travel to Colorado for the #nEXO Collaboration meeting, but I am enjoying connecting in from remote. The meeting has been very well-organized and it's easy to follow the presentations and especially the discussions.

@erdanton CORRECT.

... and credit where credit is due on the "no agenda, no attenda" motto:

This was brought to my attention by a colleague at #SNOLAB.

For the 2 weeks over Christmas + New Year, my work days were meeting-free. I got a lot of stuff done as a result. It was very freeing.

When I returned to a normal schedule this week, a sense of dread accompanied it. I considered why. It was meetings. Specifically, weekly obligatory pro forma have-em-because-they-are-on-the-calendar meetings. No-agenda meetings. The kind often organized by physics collaborations.

My resolutions for 2025: no agenda, no attenda. Only meetings with purpose.

@sundogplanets I wish you a wonderful first day of teaching!

@arturN No, I wasn't even aware of it. Migrating to NextCloud has been on my mind since it forked from ownCloud years ago. And, anyway, the migration is done. 😉

This has been quite a day. Part 4.
