My 2023 Milky Way Trip Planner is out now! This is a totally free resource I publish every year to help you get a big picture view of the upcoming Milky Way season. The planner helps you see which time periods during the year have the best opportunities … https://t.co/4tD0tNMtu8

@valehvpa ChatGPT is basically glorified autocomplete. It is incapable of an original thought. That means it won’t replace any of the professions you listed anytime soon. Eventually maybe, but we will need a quantum leap forward in the tech to do that.

One of my favorite sunsets of the year, from Sahale Glacier Camp.⁠

Sunset from Sahale Glacier Camp back in October. A bit of smoke, but a beautiful view!⁠

And now for something a little different... the Golden Gate Bridge in the receding fog from a late summer visit to the Bay Area! The view from the Fairmont can't be beat. Looking forward to visiting again soon!⁠

One of several million star hotel stays this summer. No room service, and I had to carry my own bags, but the view can't be beat.⁠

Summertime Milky Way and Mt. Baker, with the R5 and RF 15-35. ⁠

On overnight backcountry trips, I often leave the tracking mount at home and stack images to save weight, which is what I did here. ⁠

Last night's sunset did not disappoint! I managed to get above the clouds at Chirico Point (by Poo Poo Point) and although it was cold, it was awesome to watch the sun go down over the inversion layer! ⁠
