since y'all seem to like them, another image from the SPLUS survey!

Most of these objects/galaxies have no colloquial/common name, so I've given them my own nicknames. I call this one Spring Festival, as the colors remind me of red fireworks at a Lunar New Year celebration.

I fixed an old telescope from my grandfather's house :p

Very cool stuff

Spotted the comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS this evening!

Its tail is very pretty when looked at through a binocular.

Can't even complain about the clouds when I've got the telescope with me

Lost in Thoughts by Yusuf Alioğlu Via Flickr: Lost in Thoughts My Interplanetary Memories Interplanetary Travel My memories of the world still remain in my memory. Every time I close my eyes, I think more and more of the past. It's like I live in two worlds. While I was awake, spending time on the planets I had just discovered in the infinite space, when I closed my eyes, I found myself in my dream world. My dream world was now my second living space. In this way, I had two different lives between two worlds. I needed both lives. The two worlds I lived in were quite different from each other. In the face of this situation, after a long time, I started to feel like I was stuck between two worlds. I was starting to feel like I had to make a choice. It was a choice I had to make between two worlds. Would I live in the real world for the rest of my life? Or would I continue to live in my dream world that I had been fantasizing about? This question started to bother me a lot. I found myself in a deep void. There was no one around to help me. I was alone in this huge vacuum of space. I thought a lot to find the answer to my question. I thought about the past and the future. But this didn't help me much. Thinking about the past and the future made me ask myself more questions. Unanswered questions abounded. A huge pile of questions arose in my mind. Lots of questions to be answered. I still don't know why I did this to myself. Maybe I should just let time pass. As long as life goes on, one gets somewhere. However, there was one more problem. Time was a meaningless concept in space and imagination. It was the very concept of time that put me in this mental state that I had a hard time getting out of. However, time was something that didn't exist. I almost brought myself to the brink of extinction for something that didn't exist. How could I overcome something that didn't exist? How could I find myself again in all this mess? How could I reach the end of this deep journey that I set out to find myself? Questions, questions, questions... Questions that I couldn't answer, and that my mind insisted upon. And today, I opened my eyes to a new day where I will look for answers to the questions my mind asks me. And again, we will see if I leave behind another day when I cannot answer all these questions.
