Decided to try out getting a print on aluminium of one of my astro shots.
I like it, but it's a tad pricey so not something I get regularly.

'scope is increasingly looking like an improvised "device".

And the dew heater ring in the flat panel cover got a teeny bit too toasty last night. Need to dial that down a bit, and reprint it in ASA instead of PLA.

Also realised one of my deep sky targets is far enough away from the moon that it was worth getting some time on it. Never get tired of seeing telescope tracking in timelapse

Muuuch better.

The other project I've been working on, apart from the telescope auto flat panel cover, has been an all-sky camera.

Got it correctly working last night. Not many stars to see due to the full moon.

In my chicken fillet roll game, you can choose to add an unreasonable amount of ingredients to your roll and considering I haven't set up the variables for that pricing, I think it's actually quite reasonable 😅
Text reads: "Ok so that's one brown roll with butter, plain chicken, and tomatoes, sweetcorn, onions, coleslaw, grated cheese stuffing, peppers, lettuce, right? She wraps it tighly in sandwich paper and passes it over to you. You thank her for her services. She was surprisingly quiet today. Oh well! You head to the counter to pay. €6.50, the cashier says after scanning your beloved roll. In this economy?! Tap your card

It's alive!

Now to get the flat panel to work, as the original creator of this driver/board, Dark Sky Geek, didn't make it as a dimmable light but just an on/off spectral calibrator.

We pushed an update yesterday to #EyesOfHellfire that added player held candelabras to the game.

These were slightly annoying to deal with, involving a little render magic and some brute force dumbness...

I also captured some of the Horsehead and Flame nebulae on friday, but the data is pretty trash. I don't have the best view of it, it's pretty close to rooftops not to mention wires and a tree. Maybe 3 hrs on it after throwing out the worst frames, so just did a speed run (over)processing

The Elephant Trunk Nebula IC 1396

I captured just Ha and SII on first night, due to moon being a bit too bright for OIII. Had to wait ten days to capture some OIII (blue) on Friday, the single night it'd been clear since.
