Deep H-alpha image of the Cat’s Paw Nebula (NGC 6334) in Scorpius obtained from my backyard, 15 km from Sydney’s city centre. This image combines 40 frames I got during some few nights during September and early October 2020 (15, 16, 26, 28 Sep, 2, 3 Oct) using the ZWO ASI1600MM Pro and the H-alpha Baader 3.5nm ultra-narrow filter. All frames had an exposition time of 900s (15 minutes), hence this image combines a total of 10 hours of telescope time! Telescope: Skywatcher Black Diamond 80, f=600mm (f/7.5) Equipment: I used the ZWO ASIAir to control the camera, the mount (Skywatcher AZ-EQ6) and the guiding system (ASI120MM + Orion 50mm finderscope). The H-alpha filter was in the ZWO filter drawer. Processing: Data processed with Siril software. FITS converted on TIFF using NASA’s Fits Liberator considering a logarithmic function. Color / saturation / levels / contrast / smart sharpen with Photoshop. For this image I decided to give some false colour instead of just the greyscale image, I used Photoshop to get the kind of “fire” aspect to the gas in the nebulae. I would love to get some data in broad-band filters to get the colours, but I’m afraid this will have to wait till next year, as Scorpius is already a bit too low over the western horizon, and some palm tress block the view from my backyard.

This one looks like a piece of jade to me with these colors. The colors are, of course, representative or "false" color, depending on how you want to word that. As an example, here is another rendition of this nebula using almost the same data. For this, the bluer patches indicate slightly stronger OIII emissions while the greener ones are slightly stronger in H-alpha. There are tiny little red things to the left and right of the nebula glowing in NII which look something like slightly smudged stars. I presume they are tiny FLIERS. Red: hst_11956_04_wfpc2_f658n_wf_sci Green: hst_11956_04_wfpc2_f656n_wf_sci Blue: hst_11956_04_wfpc2_f502n_wf_sci North is NOT up. It's 33.3° clockwise from up.

I will start believing AI can be sentient when I see verifiable evidence of a sentient tech CEO

there should be a Bunny pokemon that starts as a little potato with ears and has two evolutions, a white rabbit fairy type that is the most bunny wabber you have ever seen, and a psychic type hare with the crazy eyes

at first i thought people complaining about the re9 film grain were just being babies, but now that im in a dark area, what the fuck is this shit 😭 it’s literally just stripes

I love taking a short nap and waking up with every one of my meters red and flashing

Watching tigers walking around and their muscles visibly rippling under their fur, thinking about anthro big cats like that and sweating profusely

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

If someone with ADHD doesn't respond to you for days or even weeks, it isn't because they don't want to talk to you. They were in their Dragon Form

it's pretty much the way they treat the unborn, once you're out they don't give a fuck

Now that AI isn't copyrightable, it's now legally okay to steal someone's AI art, not change it and call it your own. But AI bros are clever and have avoided this problem by never having produced anything worth stealing.
