Too late! lol

Final on the Pelican Nebula. This is ~6.5 hours of light collection, over 3 nights. I’ve hit diminishing returns and I’m not seeing any additional detail pulled out with more subs. I think this is the best I can do with my equipment in my location.

Don’t let the dayyyys go byyyyy…

Berberine.

Good shot!

This is totally my dog every evening. He gets medication every day in a pill pocket, and then another treat. He sits like a good boy after the pill pocket to wait for the treat, then RACES to the other room out of sight with it as soon as you give it to him lol 🥰

A line from Hamilton comes to mind: “I am not standing still, I am lying in wait”.

The Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), 1,800 light-years away, is a star-forming region shaped by stellar winds and glowing gas—captured with the SeeStar S50.

1261 subs taken over 2 nights for roughly 3.5 hrs exposure time.

I felt very betrayed by salad dressing when I first started doing this. Also, love Cronometer!

Same for vaccines.

I totally get it! My main, Heldur (night elf rogue), was born in 2006! I'm also on-again, off-again.

Man I used to play the hell outta that game. 😅 Miss it sometimes, still!

Was on travel all week. Lap cat seems very happy I’m home. 🐈‍⬛

SEA ✈️ MCO!

I am! Flying to Orlando, then shipping out from Canaveral to the Caribbean for a week!

Vacay for the next week! ✌️ 🏖️ 🍹 🌞 🛳️

Thanks for the shoutout!

Precisely. What even is the point of an opposition party when the opposition party doesn’t oppose when it matters?

I know! We should have named him Void. I was actually angling for “Vanta” for his name, but I was outvoted lol

Thank you, Margot! It was rough last night but the clouds managed to clear just enough to get a little bit of a view. 🙂

Still from near total eclipse from last night.

Very very jittery, thanks to the scope’s tracking fighting clouds all evening, but this was my 3ish hour Timelapse of last night’s blood moon lunar eclipse! Still learning…

I legit wish U.S. politics were boring.

Lap cat says it’s time for me to be done working.

The answer is churches, probably.

imagine a baby named larry you can’t it is impossible

A deep-space photograph of the Leo Triplet, a group of three spiral galaxies—M65, M66, and NGC 3628—located in the constellation Leo. The galaxies appear at different angles, with NGC 3628 (left) showing an edge-on view, while M65 and M66 (right and bottom) display their spiral structures. The dark sky is scattered with numerous stars in the background.

The Leo Triplet—three stunning spiral galaxies ~35M light-years away—dance in the cosmos. M65, M66, & NGC 3628 showcase galactic beauty and interaction in deep space. A trio worth gazing at!

This is a great framing!
