Re: APOD: Shells and Arcs around Star CW Leonis (2023 Jul 17)
Cool pic, thanks. Copyeditor's note: "...its geometry of shells and arcs is surely intriguing." The sentence subject is geometry, which is singular.

Re: APOD: Eye of Moon (2020 Dec 02)
Good idea for a shot. Anyone know what might be causing the effect where the sky meets the rock? I'd say the imager was a bit too aggressive with a sharpening filter. They tend to produce that type of artifact across hard contrast boundaries. Thanks. I thought it must be some kind of after-effect.

Re: APOD: Venus and the Pleiades in April (2020 Apr 02)
