TFW you've perfectly posed for your portrait, and then that other borb flies in to one-up you...

A glossy purplish-blue Purple Martin is posed neatly on a long horizontal artificial branch (that leads to martin apartment house made of artificial gourds, but that part is out of the frame). A second bird is flying in right behind the posed bird, so close it looks like the feet or tail may touch the posed bird in passage. (They miss each other by a millimeter) Photo by Peachfront.

A pigeon photobombing a picture of the sea and some rocks. The pigeon is strutting through the photo in front of the camera from left to right. It's head is cut off on the right side, only the body is visible.

Beagle photobomb.

Hi!

#photobomb #insect

Landscape photo with hills and forest, with a fly-size insect appearing close to the camera, wings spread and clearly visible. It is looking straight into the camera.

A blurry image of a lake with green slopes and still bare trees towards it and blue rolling hills on the other shoreline. The sky is blue with some vail clouds, all perfectly reflected in the still water...if it wasn't for the head of a jack russell terrier photobombing the picture. His head held slightly upwards, ears alert, sniffing the air. The sun shining on his brown-black fur.

Part 7 in my series of outfits I had over the course of the past 3 years.

An April SolarQuest — Photobomb Included

The Sun, as it appeared on April 17, 2025, in hydrogen-alpha light. The image was recorded using a Coronado solar telescope, a Sky-Watcher SolarQuest mount, and a ZWO ASI 678MM camera. Photo by James Guilford.

Taking advantage of midday clear skies, Thursday, we set up the hydrogen-alpha telescope and did a little observing and imaging. Seeing conditions were only good but we could make out several prominences along Sun’s limb. (The proms did not record well and we need to figure out how to enhance their visibility in our images.) Most notable, however, was the shear number of filaments in Sun’s northern hemisphere. None visible in the south! Fragments of exploding filaments launched from Sun and produced two CMEs that, when they reached Earth on April 16, caused strong geomagnetic storm activity and widespread auroras. The storm, however, died out before northern lights could be seen here.

The Sky-Watcher SolarQuest mount is shown here aiming our Coronado 60mm hydrogen-alpha solar telescope at Sun.

Aiding in our efforts was a device we used for the very first time in this session: The Sky-Watcher SolarQuest with its HelioFind system. The device is lightweight, easily supported our rather robust Coronado solar telescope, and was exceptionally easy to learn and operate. Essentially, all that was needed was to set the tripod up so that it was level, turn the device on, and let it do its thing! It is powered by four AA batteries, placed inside the unit. As an alt-az mount, no counterweights or muliti-axis balancing was needed; just mount the scope with its balance point at the center of the dovetail clamp. No remote control, no app, the compact and self-contained SolarQuest established GPS contact, leveled the scope, then looked for Sun. The SolarQuest turned and elevated the telescope, quickly acquiring our nearest star. When the motion stopped, we looked through the eyepiece to discover Sun well within the field of view. A few nudges of the system’s adjustment buttons and Sun was centered. Tracking was excellent throughout the observing/imaging session. Provision is made for further refinement of tracking but that adjustment was unnecessary for the day’s activity. The SolarQuest will make our daytime astronomy a whole lot more convenient and enjoyable!

We had just finished setting up for some solar astronomy and tapped the button to begin a video sequence when something flashed across the computer screen. A jet appeared for less than a second, contrails briefly persisting, silhouetted against the roiling solar disk! We’ve only seen this twice while observing Sun, this being the second time, and we only captured this image by shear luck. The first time we witnessed a solar “photo-bombing” was under similar circumstances. Previously, we had completed setup, was refining focus, and just about to begin recording exposures. We missed imaging that encounter by about the same interval as we succeeded this time!

Whilst browsing the Gogglemap satellite view of Matsuzaki-chō on the Izu Peninsula to see if a small sushi restaurant where we had lunch some 20 years ago still existed, something unusual caught the eye.✈️🙂
