Steve Bannon's just jealous Trump didn't invite him to the prom. I haven't had this much trouble choosing sides since the Iran-Iraq War.

Not bad from a heavily light-polluted area like the Bay Area
The North American Nebula (left on its side) and the Pelican Nebula (right)
These are located ~2,500 lightyears from Earth. The field of view is about the size of 3 moons.
Taken from my backyard in the Bay Area. This is a combination from 948 exposures for a total of 74.5Hrs.

A very high bar indeed. Hopefully the Rams can bring L.A. some sorely-needed good news.
The Chargers are lucky that "worst thing to happen to L.A. this week" is a high bar

New city, same old Chargers. I followed them faithfully growing up in San Diego but moving to Los Angeles to play JV in the Rams' house was the last straw. After this embarrassment I have officially lost interest in this team. Maybe San Diego will get an expansion team and beat the Chargers too ;-)
