I suppose I should do a welcome thread… so hello followers (or the morbidly curious). I’m a photographer and music journalist by night and IT manager by day (it pays for the cameras). So I’ll post photos every now and then.

@2000ad.bsky.social for anyone using the app and finding it not working, upgrade IOS on your iPad and it will then work. All sorted this end now.

The @2000ad.bsky.social website is back online. The 2000AD comic app? Still refusing to see my subscription. I just want to read dammit

Knowing some of my friends on here… Anyone in the UK know where I can get a zombie furry costume? Like a zombie wolf.

Not often I’ll do this but @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk is a good friend and a rather good comedian. So *ahem* If you’re of an age to remember when Oasis and Blur were the 2 biggest bands in the UK go and see him now on tour. www.marcburrows.co.uk/live-dates?u...

A couple from the weekend, one from the 27th and one from the 28th. #moon #moonphotography #lunarphotography #astrophotography

A few days late but here's the first quarter moon from Tuesday night. #moon #moonphotography #lunarphotography #astrophotography

I wonder if @manmademoon.bsky.social has heard this? Lovely tribute to one of his dad’s best songs. open.spotify.com/track/5LOSMB...

Snow moon tonight #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunarphotography

The moon with Jupiter Pollux and Caster #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography

Wasn't expecting the sky to clear but here we are. Another night, another moon. #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunarphotography

It got a bit hazy last night so managed to grab a nice halo effect on the moon #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunarphotography

Clear skies? You know what that means... #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunarphotography

After 17 days of not seeing the moon the skies finally cleared long enough to grab this. Decided to do a portrait one as well in case anyone fancies a phone wallpaper :) #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunar #lunarphotography

Accurate about Trump, he’s a crook. He’s a gangster and thief. But… the people supporting him? They are fascists.

Wait? What? 3 new @terrypratchett.bsky.social graphic novels coming from @rhi.bsky.social Now where can I sign up for the preorder?

Meanwhile elsewhere I have some guy who probably wasn’t even born in 1976 telling me that punk music ended in 1978 because John Lydon created PiL and that was the end of punk. Every punk band after that was inferior and the rest of the punk bands that came out before 1978 just stopped making music 🤷‍♂️

Everyone wondering why the local Minneapolis police didn’t arrest the ICE officer yesterday should look up my good friend @killermartinis.bsky.social and then remember the local police are just as bad as ICE.

Minneapolis has a problem with shooting people in the face…

it was a bit cloudy last night so last night's moon is actually this morning's moon. #moon #moonphotography #lunarphotography #astrophotography

Five out five now for 2026. The moon and a few stellar shots. Think that's the same nebula as yesterday, just below Orion's belt I believe. It's difficult to tell when zoomed in that far. #moon #moonphotography #lunarphotography #astrophotography

Four in a row for 2026. Decided to try and grab a shot of Jupiter, not a great shot given it's just a camera, but not bad. Also caught a nebula, but no idea which one. #moon #moonphotography #lunarphotography #astrophotography

Okay, with everything going on in the world we need a timeline cleanse (and it’s only day 3 of 2026 dammit) Here, have some hamsters (watch till the end)

@manmademoon.bsky.social I would like to live in a timeline where I am not living the origin story for Judge Dredd in real time.

The first full moon of the year and the year's only supermoon. Decided to have a little play. Which is the original photo without editing, which is the edited photo and which is the edited stacked photo? #moon #moonphotography #lunarphotography #astrophotography #fullmoon #wolfmoon #WolfMoon2026

Wanted some fun but unfortunately there wasn't an angle that meant I could get far enough away from the statue of King Alfred to get a good shot. That said, here he with a cone on his head and the usual phot of the moon as usual. #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunarphotography

First photo of the year. Really pleased with this one, but rather gutted I missed the laser light show in Harwell. #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunar #lunarphotography

Wife’s grandfather flew Lancasters during the war. Had arguably the most dangerous job for anyone in a bomber, he was a Pathfinder. Finally shot down in 1944 and spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft 1

The last photo of the year. Happy New Year and hopefully there's plenty more photos next year. #newyearseve #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunar #lunarphotography

Almost the last photo of the year. One more day to go. #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunar #lunarphotography

Read all the way to the end 😂

Describe you Bluesky account in a single image:

Saw @astrokatie.com on the front cover of @newscientist.com so decided it’s going to be a good read :)

Last photo before Christmas. Here's a Christmas Eve moon. #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #lunar #lunarphotography #christmas #christmaseve

@realcarlallen.bsky.social only losers block and run when they’ve lost the argument. Typical arrogant American Superiority you have there. Can’t even argue your own corner so you have to try and move the goalposts and declare yourself the winner in your own mind. Pathetic.

Early morning shot before work today #moon #moonphotography #lunar #lunarphotography #astrophotography

Tonight's moon. #moon #lunar #lunarphotography #astrophotography

Cold moon. Tonight's full moon. #moon #moonphotography #lunar #lunarphotography #astrophotography #photography

Busy weekend so here's Saturday's moon #moon #moonphotography #lunar #lunarphotography #astrophotography

I missed the moon on Monday night by just a few minutes, but managed to get it last night. #moon #moonphotography #photography #lunar #lunarphotography #astrophotography

A 91 image stack (I won't be doing that again, took forever to create). #moon #moonphotography #lunarphotography #photography #astrophotography

Moon last night using the teleconverter. Came out better than I hoped. #photography #astrophotography #moon #moonphotography #lunarphotography
