As I was working on my 2022 recap, I came across this timelapse video I captured but never shared. It’s probably the smoothest timelapse of Jupiter’s rotation I’ve ever done, captured with an 11” telescope. – at Lincoln, NE

At approx 0358, one of my cats peed on me instead of going out or using a litter tray. Going to be one of THOSE years, huh?

Dark choc Ferrero Rocher huge ones have a pic on the tag. Being dark choc it's not easy to make out that there is NO GOO. I am the last person on Earth to discover this? I'd have bought a f*cking bar of Aldi plain and some chopped nuts if I'd known.
Angel Delight then, I guess!
