I haven't had much time for hobbies lately, but I did manage to dust off my DSLR today. One day I will find the time to attach it to my telescope again.

I noticed banding in the sky after dropping this jpg of a Pale Swallowtail into the iNaturalist website. The bands go from upper left to lower right, only in blue. I "unstretched" the jpg in PixInsight and the pattern turned out to be diamonds!

Any thoughts on what might cause this curiosity?

This was an extreme zoom shot with a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS point-and-shoot.

Good timing Jim, and nice shot! Kudos to your wife :D

Took this today with my Jason 80mm f/15 and Canon T2i. A local robins nest just over 110 yards (100+ meters) away on a drainpipe; been shooting this every day since the day before the eggs hatched... :D
BTW, from the front of the dew shield to the back of the camera when focused on the nest is just under 5 feet (58 inches, 147cm). I know, get an APO... :lol:
