Who's a good boy ??

From the guy who cant move on from the 2020 election.

The stock market regularly set new highs under Biden and Trump tries to portray that as the worst economy ever. Wall St and Main St are two different beasts. Always have been.

They have soooo many weaknesses. But near the top of the list has to be math.

It amazes me that people think this guy is some sort of deep thinker. As Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip wrote "A generation so much dumber than its parents Came crashing through the window"

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemon.
Last night Springville NY. Seestar S50. Twenty five 10 second exposures stacked. Post processing in photoshop. #astrophotography

They already openly admitted that he has venous insufficiency which is considered a cardiovascular condition, as it is a disease of the veins that is closely linked to and can be a risk factor for other cardiovascular diseases. Gaslighting continues

M31 Andromeda Galaxy. ZWO Seestar. 1 hour of 10 second exposures. Post processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. #astrophotography

NGC6960 The Western Veil Nebula.....ZWO Seestar. 45 minutes of 10 second exposures. Post Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

We spend a couple months in California every year getting away from the snow. The sunsets are our favorite part. #california #sunset 📷

I live right on the border. I love Canada. Whats better ? Your beer, wine, whiskey, beef, bacon, maple syrup, produce just for starters. The vast majority of the US didnt want this BS. Even many Trump supporters think its dumb.They are just too weak and feckless to stand up to the MAGA morons

A few years ago I was lucky enough to rent some imaging time on an observatory grade Planewave CDK-700 which is a 27" astrograph. This is M16 the Eagle Nebula and the iconic pillars of creation. Raw data processed in Pixinsight. Wish I had more imaging time on this one but $$ #astrophotography 🔭

Well since it got down to 3 degrees F......I figured Id do a couple frozen bubble pics. #photography 📸

Wow. Amazing work. I owned a Z61 for a short time. Kind of regret getting rid of it

I am an amateur astronomer who regularly images deep sky and planetary photos. I also have my own astrophotography website

Yes

Smoke photos. Each one a bit different from the next like a snowflake or cloud watching.....All it takes is an incense stick, a dark room, a camera and a flash. Easy-Peezy fun on a rainy or snowy day.

Comet Tsuchishan-Atlas A/3 Imaged in October from Springville NY using a Vespera Classic.

Popping water balloons inside the house in the middle of the winter. In retrospect this is probably much less problematic outside in the summer 🤣 Pluto Trigger and Nikon D800

Some water droplet shots using a Pluto Trigger, Pluto water valve and my Nikon D800. #waterdrops #photography

An oldie but still one of my favorite images and targets. M51 The Whirlpool Galaxy. Celestron RASA 8 and Atik 314 camera. More than likely post processed in CCD soft and PS since I dont think I was very savvy in Pixinsight at the time. (Still not all that savvy 🤣) #astrophotography #astronomy

Great list compiled (and still growing) by @sbgphotography.bsky.social listing fellow astronomers, astrophotographers and photographers here on BlueSky.....Fantastic job by SBG to help grow the community of fellow hobbyists

This a great spot to find fellow astrophotographers, astronomers and photographers. South of the Border Gringo has done an outstanding job compiling this list 👍👍

A message from a fellow Bluesky user!

Thanks a million @rodratcliffe.bsky.social for the kudo
🎉

The Running Man Nebula (Sharpless 2-279) located in Orion. Just over 45 minutes on SeeStar S50. Post processed in Pixinsight. One of these days I will have to fire up my main rig on this one. Stars a bit blobby. #astrophotography

You can add me if you want

The center of the massive Rosette Nebula (NGC2237) highlighting the open star cluster NGC 2244 located at its core......A little over an hour of 10 sec exposures with a ZWO Seestar. Post processed in pixinsight and PS. #astrophotography

New here to bluesky. No point mass posting old photos. But I'll just do a few......Elephant Trunk Nebula IC1396......ZWO S50 smartscope. I was pretty skeptical of these little scopes when they came out but I must admit you can get decent results and not break the bank. #astrophotography

My first Bluesky post. Ive sort of had it with FB and IG.....The Bubble Nebula. NGC 7635 Askar FRA400 refractor/ZWO AM5 mount/ASI 533 MC Pro camera.....Springville NY
