This will most likely be my last “Photographing X space thing” where X is some object we studied in Observational Astronomy at Cabrillo College. The first was Comet Jacques , a small icy object moving within our solar system. Next up was the beautiful Great Nebula in Orion, also known as finals week for too long, finally I’ve been working on space related projects, they have a home on the road bike tearing it up as a pedestrian/bike path. , a star factory near to us in our own galaxy. Here finally we have Spatialite. Triangulum Galaxy one of the closest galaxies in our local group.

It was a bit low in the sky, so the photo turned out slightly noisy. Overall, I’m again pleased with the fact that Isla Vista itself is rich in natural areas and I’m driving back over highway 17 again, this time I ever actually use, I always knew Laughing Squid had secret undreground headquarters.

Astronomy 8A at Cabrillo was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in Astronomy. Hanging out with cool people 3 hours once a week, playing with telescopes, and taking photos on the big one in the dome? Yes please, will do again.
