Yesterday I was here: Striding Edge (left), Helvellyn, Swirral Edge (above Red Tarn) and Catstye Cam (right).

Sambanistas at the Swan Valley Fiesta today. Not the biggest gig we've ever played, but fun nonetheless!

Only a ginger.... @timminchin vs WASO in Kings Park last night.

A distant active galaxy, located behind the disk of M31, as seen in the radio. Crosses mark our #VLBI detections.

More fireworks from the 2011 Skyworks.

I can see my phase cal :-)

Sunset over Melville Water

Spectrum of the bright star Vega, showing the Balmer series of hydrogen absorption lines.

More star trails over Bluff Knoll on Saturday night, no camera wobble this time!

Star trails over Bluff Knoll (Stirling Range, WA) last night. Beautiful night, but cold and *very* windy.

I'm not really this messy in the lab, I'm just working on my zombie-scientist look for the gig on the 20th. Honest.

Highlight of the evening was the post-gig jam in Northbridge with two other samba groups, absolutely brilliant.

Weird eyes - scary?

The same view of Cen A but with far ultraviolet light added in red, showing where the star formation is.

NGC5128 (Cen A) is the nearest AGN to the Milky Way. Blue is optical light, green/yellow is radio data.

Some of the @Jodcast team at #Jodpub yesterday. A bunch of highly dodgy-looking characters if you ask me.

Local school children dance the planets at #imc2010 in Armagh

Not forgetting Jupiter on the other side of the sky...
