4 weeks to go! 🥹

The fourth of @cathrinmachin.bsky.social. As I say every time, "it's the last one"!😁

Apologies I’ve been MIA. I’ve been organising our home before baby Luna gets here… only 7 weeks to go. 🥹 Just completed the junk room and the garage. I have to take breaks every 15 minutes because it’s so tiring.

Can you help?… I’m trying to find my people I know there’s more space fans here… just not sure how to reach you Feels weird to ask, but would you give me a signal boost by hitting share? If you’re new… Hi I’m Cat, I make pretty picture of space 🥹 let’s connect if you like weird space art

Processing Astro data is like artwork… eventually you develop your own personal style… Mine is a bit like being punched the face by a rainbow. 😂 😂 look, Life can be incredibly stressful at times so it’s nice to have a pop of colour to bring a bit of joy to life.

Bumpdate - 27 weeks :) only 10 weeks to go 💕💕

What you’re seeing here are different chemical elements Red = hydrogen. Blue = oxygen. This is the Crescent Nebula, Ian & I took this photo with a 17” scope in the California’s desert for our February calendar image

This was 2016, proudly holding my first ever space painting… I’d just left my job as a video game executive producer after having a huge nervous breakdown It was the first time I felt like I was working on something that gave my life a sense of purpose.

Bluesky vs X… So I shared the same post on my X account and even though I have 194k followers I had less intersection than here with only 5k followers. Trying to share the beauty of the cosmos in a perpetual dumpster fire environment is tough! Thanks to all at bluesky, you guys rock x

Behold the Eastern Veil Nebula, a haunting supernova remnant that lit up the skies over 10,000 years ago! It took a month to capture using our little amateur telescope under the clear Texas skies. This is also Decembers shot in my 2026 calendar (link in my bio)

The calendars launched yesterday :) If you zoom in, you can see that each of the pages are perforated so you can continue to use the prints once the year is over :)
