🗃️ Listening to the audiobook of @desiarnazbook.bsky.social by Todd Purdum, I learned that Desi Arnaz had a newspaper announcing Abraham Lincoln’s death in his Desilu office. Lucy & Desi also appeared in the same gameshow as the last witness to Lincoln’s death:

Daniel boone meets Leeroy Jenkins — Joe Barry How does a 2005-era viral video game meme relate to the American War of Independence? The answer is a cautionary tale on insufficient planning, lack of intelligence, and rash decisions.

With Ken Burns' "The American Revolution" airing on #PBS, here is a question: what was the final battle of the war? Hint: it's not #Yorktown. Here's my piece on the surprising answer, and a cautionary tale:

He needs to be stripped of his academic credentials. He's clearly just spewing nonsense for attention and $$$. It's not censorship anymore than stepping a doctor or lawyer committing malpractice.

One of my favorite clusters!

To be sure, Richard is *not always there

I would email them, since there's not really a number to call. There is a person, Richard, who is the main overseer. But he's now always there, and it's not managed 24/7. If you have an idea of when you'll be there, hit me up and maybe I can meet you there and show you around. Or I can let him know.

Yes, visits are always welcome. From there, you just sign a form, pay like $30 initially, and after that it's $15 per night. A one-time visit would be free.

There's much darker skies closer to and in Florida panhandle, depending on where you're driving from. But, Chiefland Astro Village has a community field with power, warming room, showers, etc. It also has one of the best private telescope museums in the country! It will soon have a 10" Alvan Clark!

No, Bortle 2ish probably 3. Decent Milky Way; bottom line, it gets the job done for observing and less than 2.5 hour drive from where I live. Good facilities too.

You can find me near Chiefland Astro Village in Chiefland, FL!

I hear you; I have to drive at least 2 hours to get to Bortle 2/3 skies, but it's worth it.

Visual astronomers, where are you at? Let's connect; show me what you're observing with! Me: 24" f/3.3 StarStruture Dob, 16x70 Fujinons. Not pictured: 6" f/6 Intes MakNewt and A-P 92mm f/6.6 Stowaway.
