Oh, by the way, Arcsecond V5 is live. It has been put inline at the date planned. 🥳 No time to post here, bummer! I am busy polishing the details. Visit us to discover our new observations planner!!!

J-11 before our release of Arcsecond V5. Biggest update ever, and finally a consistent platform like you have never seen for astronomers, observatories, astro clubs, universities etc. As a teaser, I am happy to share with you one of the key new feature… 🥁

Seeing an eclipse was one of the most profound experiences of my life.
Shame on NY leadership for mandating a 3hr prison lockdown on Monday, even after they ordered eclipse glasses for every inmate.
Incarcerated people deserve to see this once in a lifetime event. Read more here. 🔭🧪

From Sahil Hegde and Mark Popinchalk: For many, Monday's eclipse presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the Sun and Moon align. For others, the situation is far from simple. 🔭

Cette image est dingue 🤯.
La zone noire sur l’image de gauche est un lac de lave sur la lune Io de Jupiter.
A droite, la même zone a été photographiée à une géométrie d’observation différente. Le lac apparaît plus clair car on voit l’éclat du soleil qui s’y reflète !

Waking up this morning with 113 finding chart errors… I will try to workaround it before V5 (which is a radically different implementation). 😦😦😦
