The dream of bluesky was very motivating when it started out but now it just seems to be another political comment dump from the other side.
Political partisanship and extremism is destroying this country and others. Both sides are guilty. Please stop and think about something else.

Some recent astro photos. Anybody can take these pictures if they take a little time and get the right equipment.

how much more vindictive nonsense from this nutty old codger are we going to tolerate?

A few pictures from the new Celestron Origin automated telescope. These are straight from the scope with absolutely no involvement from me during or after the image capture. It is an absolutely wonderful piece of gear that takes all the frustration out of getting beautiful images of the night sky.

Today's images of our nearest star taken with the new MLASTRO.com SHG700 spectroheliograph. This thing is absolutely incredible.

There was another guy named Mark Hamill who was retired from the government and ran a PHPBBS consulting service out of New England.
He was a decent guy and helped me a lot with my STEM program.
He died from a horrible brain cancer last week that just sucked the life out of him. Not a common name.

ahh, gotcha. i’ve been taking senior citizen grad courses for a few quarters here in Atlanta in QED. I didn’t know if maybe some high schools were teaching it for AP students

thanks for sharing but I must let you know that since those satellites are leaving a short trail while the telescope mount is tracking M 42, they are just a pair of old geostationary weather satellites and not Sh*tlinks which move much faster.
M42 is in a position where every wx satellite crosses.

Corporations get exactly the union they deserve. Good luck teamsters and hopefully this will improve the horrid working conditions and pay at Amazon

just think how different our society would be if we evolved on a planet orbiting a star inside a bright emission nebula.
