Fortnightly posts on what I'm working on, observing, and reading. Four threads: software notes (mostly the AstroVia suite), astronomy notes from the backyard and the observatory, a story development diary from inside the writing, and hot topics from the wider world. Some short, some longer.
I use GitHub CoPilot a lot as part of my software development activities. I use the Claude Sonnet and Opus models mostly in “Agent” mode, although I have used other modes particularly for large migrations/transformations.
A working astronomer's take on the new generation of smart telescopes — what surprised me, the honest limits, and who should buy it.
