@mark-carney.bsky.social please Mr. Prime Minister Carney don't make the same mistake Prime Minister Diefenbaker made, don't throw away jobs to appease the USA. Say yes to the Gipen deal.

As a follow up to the unprocessed mono image of M13 here is the processed version.
I used Affinity photo 2 to process the rgb and remove the vertical banding.

A full spectrum composite at two different shutter speeds of the strawberry moon June 11 2025. The haze from the wild fires out west is showing. I'm not good at composites but I can't learn unless I try right?

This is a semi unprocessed stacked shot of the Hercules cluster. I just adjusted the levels and removed some of the gradient from the moon.

300mm in 90% full moon
My sensor seems to be creating more and more vertical banding.

🕯️💔The screams you hear are from a playground filled with children—targeted and bombed by Russia with a ballistic missile. Russia is a terrorist state!

Why does anybody think a man who believes you need ID to buy groceries is going to turn the economy around?

Imagine what Canada would look like with a PM who has based his political career on MAGA talking points. Who’s submissive to Trump. His lack of transparency, unexplained wealth, politics of division, beholden to big business reminds you someone south of the border.

If you like this cartoon, pass it on, & I will paint more. My personal resistance to these times, against the rise of far right, extremist, Maple MAGA politics that would do irreparable harm to our Canada.

2x zoom in of Andromeda on a pixel 7. Applied a preset style which actually enhanced the glow of a ferry terminal located about 400 meters beyond the trees. Thought it was a neat effect.

BLOG: Trump is crashing the economy. The Trump Slump is not just due to his many individual policy failures. The FAR BIGGER problem is he does not understand that governments facilitate so companies can compete. This is a fatal policymaking flaw.

The Trump Slump
The Trump Slump is here! Trump does not understand the crucial distinction between companies and governments. It is fatal for the economy.

Here is a completely honest comment left by a Trump supporter on my YouTube channel.
This was their plan all along. They just needed enough dumb people in America to believe their lies long enough to get to get back into office.

As Joe Strummer said, Anger can be Power.
For a start, Europe should stop buying U.S. weapons until we come to our senses on 🇺🇦
I hear that Sweden and France build excellent fighter jets 🇪🇺
Canada has all the land and resources required to sustain NATO independence without the USA 🇨🇦

Globular clusters are like mini-galaxies with tens of thousands of closely packed stars. They are often portrayed with blazing cores like suns, the inner regions far too bright for the individual stars to be seen.

Where I live we have to wait long periods of time for clear skies, so last year everytime we expected Aurora's we always had clouds. I got fed up and just snapped this with my pixel camera. Later that night it cleared but it turns out my full spectrum camera doesn't work well on Aurora's.

Since then I have been shooting with 80mm only and randomly photographing sections of the sky, sometimes having success while others failed. Andromeda is a fail, but I did find more than expected. I have many more but I'm still playing with processing techniques.

I then ordered a tracker from Ondrag star tracker and several weeks (after assembly) I went to a bottle 1 zone to photograph the Milky Way again. Unfortunately the wind was blowing all night so the photo was a bit blurry. It is an h-alpha stack using @siril.org and some pixel math. 75x60sec

Then after a long cloudy winter I ventured outside the day after the solar eclipse and tried capturing 12p/ pons brook. First with the 300mm which I later threw in the garage. Then with a 28mm. All without a tracker. Composite astrophotos are hard work, respect to you guys. I love the h-alpha result

I then tried capturing Jupiter with an old 300mm lens and couldn't get it focused (so I thought) but turns out my lens was rubbish and suffered from coma.

Once I got my modified camera I set out to photograph something I always wanted to try. The Orion nebula. I did this without a tracker. I did manage to capture it, but being my 1st deep space object, I still had a lot to learn. It's rubbish but it was a milestone.

That same night I also shot this with the same pixel camera but put it on a tripod. That settled it. In the next couple of months I started reading up on astrophotography and decided to purchase an astro modification for my old canonT3
