Diving and Stars

Diving

I'm taking my PADI Open Water Diving course.  Today I was in the swimming pool doing my confined water dives.  I spent 6.5 hours at the pool.  Needless to say I am wearing after sun lotion.  But it should be worth it.  This week I'll do my open water dives.

Stars

I have always liked astronomy.  I'm still going to find a way to keep it up.  Perhaps I'll buy a telescope.  Anyway, here are two images I wanted to share. 

The first one is the M8 region.

And this next one is not really a photo of stars.  Almost everything in this image is a galaxy of stars.

If you like these images, you can view the astronomy picture of the day at APOD.
