Former CTO at the City of Seattle posting about Seattle, astronomy, and information technology.
Yet the US Government, led by the two senators from Texas, can spend $80 million on a boondoggle to move the space shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian to Texas.

Amazing detail Mike. What is your setup (scope, camera, etc.)?

Including this one, BlueSky, where you like to post?

Well there is a prominent astronomer at Harvard University, Avi Loeb, who thinks objects like 3iAtlas are alien spaceships.

Goldendale Sky Village is a place where I and 75 other amateur astronomers share 40 acres. Not close to Vancouver alas. It is plotted on Google maps. Two to three hours away was but a gorgeous drive. November is the rainy season.

No. I'm in Seattle with light-polluted skies. Toward the east is downtown Seattle, Bortle 8, which means only the brightest stars are visible. Toward the west is Puget Sound, which is a bit darker. But this telescope has a light pollution filter which really helps image dimmer objects.

Love your title slides, Chris. Quite creative.

This is amazing for the Seestar, especially given how low in the sky it is. Good job Misty.
