This is a re-shoot of M17,Omega,Swan nebula shot with my Evostar 120 telescope guided 5 minute exposures x 15 stacked and processed in Affinity. I don’t know about the relaxation but it’s fun shooting shots.

Absolutely, less is better if you can do it. I am glad I have my native vessel and how it will respond to normal physiologic stresses. Replace that segment and you lose some neurological connections that can affect your ability to respond in heart rate, vaso constriction/dilation, etc..

Found indications for repair in UpToDate condition Aneurysm diameter* Sporadic (not associated with disease below) Ascending ≥5.5 cm >5.0 cm (ACOE and low operative risk) Isolated arch aneurysm ≥5.5 cm Marfan syndrome (MFS), familial thoracic aortic aneurysm/dissection (FTAAD)...

Jeff, maybe the difference lies if you already have the hood open on car do you fix both? If someone is found at 4.5cm as outpatient then waiting to 5 is warranted. YMMV

Surgeon told me and I have read that 4.5 is where you get it done. Judgement call at time of repair. I have a ct aortic angiogram every couple of years. Echo’s are inconsistent even in the hands of experienced sonographers. The angio looks at the interior dimension of the wall of your aortic...

I have had an aneurysm since diagnosis and I have been taking increased dose of metoprolol and started Losartan, an arb agent which has been shown to be effective in keeping the aneurysm from growing. Has a proposed effect of keeping the connective tissue from rupturing by inhibiting an enzyme...

M17, Swan Nebula also known as Omega, Checkmark Nebula.

Love the rolling hills. Nice wide angle.

Lagoon Nebula

You never know if you couldn’t go there thru a wormhole.

Composite of 2 images of Andromeda (M31), Also in shot is M32 and M110. Images done over 2 nights. Galaxy is as big as the Milky Way. Closest galaxy in our group 2.5 million lyrs away and it is about 150,000 lyrs wide.

West Veil Nebula, like the laciness of the this Veil.

Recent image taken a week ago between cloudy days. Butterfly 🦋 nebula. Playing with different post processing to get more structure in nebula

Here is a shot of M16, known as the eagle nebula. This is where the famous Hubble shot of the “Pillars of Creation” was done 20 years ago and revisited by the James Webb Telescope recently and NASA made a video of the Pillars. https://apple.news/AekkflzrNQD-JNxUeGAViWg

North American Nebula and a comet cruising thru.

Pelican nebula

Well I just recently had an aortagram and they noted I still have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. My diameter is 4.6cm which is .1 less than 3 years ago. I doubled up my losartan to 50mg and doubled up metoprolol to 50mg. Losartan is supposed to stabilize the connective tissue of Aorta based...
