Stargazing has captured the human imagination for centuries, and the constellation is one of the most enchanting aspects of the night sky. These groupings of stars have been used for navigation, storytelling, and even...
The Stellina Observation Station is a product of technological innovation and a deep passion for stargazing. Developed by the French company Vaonis, Stellina was born out of a desire to democratize astronomy. The creators wanted to make stargazing and astrophotography accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of expertise. With this mission in mind, they embarked on a journey to design a personal observatory that could be used by amateur astronomers and enthusiasts alike.
Unfortunately on an impromptu beach trip for fish and chips, due to haze and lights I only managed to get a simple low resolution image. shot with a Stellina smart telescope on Monday evening...
The Orion Nebula is always a stunning sight to behold.

PixelatedDad - part-time stargazer, full-time dad, and an 8-bit gaming guru who's a few pixels short of a full sprite. Though I’ve traded reflexes for dad jokes and swapped late-night gaming marathons for stargazing sessions, I’m still young at heart, often found playing retro games older than my kids. My aim in first-person shooters is as questionable as a blindfolded monkey’s, but I’ve always got my sights set on saving both the pixelated princess and preserving the beauty of the night sky.
By day, I’m a proud husband, father, and geek wrangling my two sets of twins (#TwinsTwice), coding up a storm, taking pictures of the night sky, or advocating for dark skies free from light pollution. When the stars aren’t out, you can find me snuggled up with Doggo McStuffin, my trusty furry sidekick.
As for this website? It’s a mix of everything. Here, I blog about coding projects, share my thoughts on astronomy, review tech (and the occasional game), and sometimes just rant into the digital void. So whether you're here for the pixels or the planets, welcome aboard!
