The Seven Sisters escaping to and dancing at Atila by Rene Kulitja ✨⛰️👯 🎨

@kattekrab and I finally made it to Uluru earlier this year and bought this painting at one of the galleries. As it turns out, Rene was there that day, so we got to meet her.

The painting tells the story of the seven sisters escaping from the man pursuing them (you may know him as Orion) and finding a safe place to hide and dance at Atila (Mount Conner).

The painting is now stretched on a frame and on a wall at home 😍

Comet Lapse ☄️

About an hour's worth of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) setting over a dry lake in rural Australia, as the Milky Way appears.

The very very bright thing on the left is Venus.

The completely ridiculous streaks that look like anti-aircraft fire are all spamlink and frankly I had rather not had any of those in my photos, but apparently a fascist billionaire and a US government agency get to decide that I have to 🖕

It is #caturday Let’s see if we can achieve this state of bliss again today instead of the usual grouching.

Galileo is faceplant comfy #caturday

It’s time to recharge on #caturday so catch as much sun as possible.

It’s #caturday!

One of the 10 second snaps from the time lapse with the DSLR. Will process tomorrow.

It was so bright it cast a shadow at this stage.

I’m sure it’s still #caturday in a timezone somewhere. Galileo got into a fight and was feeling a little bit sooky. Unusually, Kepler sat and snoozed next to him for a few hours instead of the usual mutual head smacks.

And this is Galileo. He likes catnip.

This is Kepler. He was left to play with his string unsupervised, and now his string is missing. Presumed eaten.
