My widowed neighbor brought me a mess of fresh chicken livers. Best I've ever had and yes, I did share

She may turn me

Clear skies for a couple hours last night. Heavy water vapor gave me some issues. I was able to get a couple of decent shots in the northern sky of the Vacuum Cleaner and Whirlpool galaxies before heading to bed

Hope you enjoy

Elite parasites sitting above the law and not contributing taxes were the main reasons behind the French Revolution

The people revolted against the parasite class and executed them all

Yes, I did pretend my flashlight was a lightsaber, thank god I live in the middle of nowhere

MobLand, WOW

Powerhouse cast and wicked entertaining. Same flavor as Animal Kingdom. Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan are fabulous together and Tom Hardy is stunning as ever

Watch MobLand you cheeky little cunts

The trump regime is creating an averaging 49,000 jobs per month, compared to about 168,000 per month during the Biden Adminstration

But look, a drag queen is reading a book to children

Heavy water vapor from the melting snow obscured most of my targets last night

I did get a decent shot of the Orion Nebula (M42) located 1,344 ly away. Visible to the naked eye on a dark night. Region is an active star factory

Another great evening for star gazing. Stuck with the galaxy theme and targeted a couple in the Big Dipper with the Seastar S50. Used the Dwarf 3 to capture a personal favorite in Orion, the Horsehead and Flame Nebulae

The Horsehead (Barnard 33) and Flame Nebulae (NGC 2024) flank blue supergiant Alnitak, the eastern most star in Orion's Belt. The 3 are part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, in the constellation Orion ~1,300 ly away

Bode's Galaxy (M81) a grand design spiral galaxy 11.7 Mly away in Ursa Major (Big Dipper). M81 is one of the brightest galaxies visible and a companion to the Cigar Galaxy (M82)

This beauty is ~70,000 ly across and contains ~100 billion stars

The Cigar Galaxy (M82) is a starburst galaxy ~12 Mly away in the constellation Ursa Major (Big Dipper). The intense new star formation is likely trigger by gravational interaction with neighboring Bode's Galaxy (M81)

She's a hot mess

Stayed up way too late last night. Sky cleared up after midnight was able to get a couple of galaxy shots on the S50. Set the Dwarf3 to work on some nebulae in the Canis Major, Monoceros and Eridanus

Fun night but dragging this morning
