Waiting for storm initiation in Lula MS

Ok, who had "Reed Timmer midlife crisis" on their 2025 bingo card?

Saturday looks like a chase day for me. Right now it looks like I need to be in position by noon somewhere along I-20 in MS

I made a new gif for a new site tracking JWST observations of exoplanets (still a work in progress): jlothringer.github.io/Dashboard.html

What an exciting ~3 years it has been! ✨🔭✨

AI might help us become a type 1 civilization but im guessing this tool will be used for war instead. There isn't a single human invention in history that wasn't used directly or indirectly to kill other humans......

Happy Friday!

Hopefully if weather corporates this weekend I'll grab a pic of the ISS moon transit. Been too lazy to drive anywhere for this event and for two years straight every transit from my backyard has taken place with cloudy skies.

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is getting high enough in the sky that I can almost take good pics without tree interference. This pic was a quick stack of 10 images at 30 seconds while it was between branches. Esprit 80ed telescope, No darks or bias frames, just a quick EAA capture

Mavic 3 Pro drone pic over Collierville and Memphis TN . Really surprised at how well it turned out. 8 sec exposure at f2.8

Another decent pic from this week. Sony A7Riii, Tamron 70-180 (at 100mm), f2.8 at ISO 1000. Stacked image with pics ranging from 1 sec to 5 sec. Hopefully I can get my tracker and 80mm refractor out this weekend and get a mosaic

One of my better pics from this week. Taken somewhere between Marked Tree and Blytheville Arkansas. Sony A7RIII, Sigma 50mm f1.4, ISO 1000, 4 second exposure

Took a "mineral moon" photo a few moments ago. Celestron 9.25 SCT telescope, Sony A7RIII camera, ISO 100, exposure 1/800.
