The Smartest Witch

The discussion about humane euthanasia in the episode is still very relevant and holds up well.

They're not even bothering to make it hard

I couldn’t delete mine because I:
A)didn’t remember my password
B)never linked my phone number to recover it
C)used a temporary email to make the account in the first place

I finally guessed the password after running through the variations of the common ones I use

Officially deleted my twitter like I've been saying I would for months. I am free.

I stay up because I have to keep the scope in a public area.

Thank you! ☺️

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

I don’t envy the effort to haul and set it up 😅

Right before I bring my rig on for the night, so usually around 4 AM

Looks sick

Thank you so much!

Soon you’ll be free! Just a little longer.

The North American nebula reclines below the Pelican nebula. Dark red-orange swirls of dust are present, with hues of blue and green above. A blanket of stars is scattered throughout.

North American Nebula and the Pelican nebula

I spent 11 hours photographing these nebula in narrowband. I know I've spent a lot of time photographing this nebula, but it's one of my favorites, and I do a little better each time.

Damn that’s sick

Looks really good!

Haha I wish, no and no. I’m just an amateur! But I appreciate the compliment.

Messier 27, or the Dumbbell nebula

This was one fun to shoot but much harder to process.

The dumbbell nebula is faintly visible with stars around it

Quick test shot from tonight on the RC. Excited for this one.

Can you return it? Most places have a 30 day return policy.

I had no idea you worked on Smiling Friends! That's so cool!

A small, colorful planetary nebula sits nestled amongst a blanket of stars.

Messier 57, or the Ring Nebula

This is the smallest object I've ever photographed (figuratively speaking), but I had a lot of fun shooting it. It's very bright in the sky, so even with light pollution, I was able to use very short exposures.

Incredibly based

It took me a couple nights of shooting to get the data. Definitely would’ve been much faster in OSC, but it’s getting harder for me to do it now that the local light pollution is ramping up, and the dark sky site I usually drive to is partially flooded.

It would hark back to the old theme of how “there is no escape” from the underworld. I can understand though if there’s no plans to focus on such either. Melinoe is an amazing character in her own right but I’m dying to see her and her brother interact.

I’ve been playing the Hades II beta since the first release, & it’s been amazing experience. @supergiantgames.bsky.social did a fantastic job.

I do hope in the full release once you beat Chronos, you then have to fight Zagreus or battle with him to escape a doubly powerful underworld.

That means a lot to hear, thank you so much. I know you’ll be turning out even better images soon.

Several nebula come together to form loops and swirls of gas, glowing red and blue amongst a blanket of stars.

The Cygnus loop

This is my first attempt at narrowband imaging, shot in Ha and OIII. Monochrome definitely has a bit of a learning curve to it, but I enjoyed the process.
