Beginning to play "Pie Roulette". You pass the pie around, and when the music stops, you can pie yourself to stay in the game or pie your neighbor and you are out.

Messier 22 (NGC 6656) is an elliptical globular cluster in Sagittarius, near the Galactic bulge region. It is one of the brightest globulars visible in the night sky and one of the nearer to Earth at a distance of about 10,600 light-years. It spans 32' on the sky which translates to a spatial real diameter of 99 ± 9 light-years.
It was one of the first globular clusters to be carefully studied first by Harlow Shapley in 1930.
M22 is very unusual in that it is one of only four globulars (the others being M15, NGC 6441 and Palomar 6) that are known to contain a planetary nebula.

Messier 33 is a low-luminosity flocculent spiral galaxy at 3 million light-years in Triangulum. It is catalogued also as NGC 598 and known as Triangulum Galaxy. The galaxy is the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group and it is believed to be a big satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy.
M33 has two asymmetric faint arms, and an interstellar medium rich in gaseous filaments that extends for about 7 kpc. Although the inner disk is relatively undisturbed, the northern arm is less regular in shape than the southern one. M33, is a bulge-free galaxy with only two optically luminous dwarf galaxies believed to be its satellites: AndXXII (McConnachie et al., 2009; Martin et al., 2016) and Pisces VII (Martínez-Delgado et al., 2022) m discovered by me in 2020. However, given its mass, ΛCDM cosmological simulations predict that M33 should host a larger number of satellites, at least 10.
The neutral hydrogen (HI) disk is three times larger than the star-forming disk and is clearly warped. The outer disk has the same inclination as the inner one with respect to our line of sight but the position angle of the major axis changes by about 30 degrees compared to the inner disk and is more aligned with the M31 direction. While M33's undisturbed inner disk indicates that no major collisions between M31 and M33 or between M33 and a satellite have occurred in the past, the distortion could be the result of a flyby about 9 billion years ago. Timing assessments make this scenario unlikely and favor the hypothesis of a first fall of M33 in the region of influence of M31.

I can't believe how many times in the past two and half years I have cleaned out this room and then presto it looks like this. I hate not having clear access to my books. This mess was created by bringing in the stuff we used to stage my mother's house.....Oh this isn't all....We had just cleaned out the area in the garage where we park the car and now it is full of furniture from mother's house.
This was one of the first pictures I took when I got my Mac. I hated my Mac at that point, but now I love it and don't know how I got a long without it.

This is my 1st grader, back when she was 2. <3
Buy lot's of gloves if you do this you will need them and a LOT of tape... I've taped and re-taped a number of times.

Yet another Messier 45 or the Pleiades in Taurus.
Only 26x300 secs integration time due to clouds rolling in, so I sadly didn't catch too much of the surrounding dust. But nevertheless quite an improvement over my first attempt in april 2022.
