Posts about astrophotography, space stuff, hacker stuff, and cynical leftist political hot takes. I swear like a sailor.

My opinions are my own and probably wrong. I'm not here to be correct or "defend my position". I will block you.

Here's my second attempt at processing the #lunar #eclipse from a few days ago.

I stacked the stars and made a composite image. I'm not sure whether I'm completely satisfied with it, so I might redo it again later.

If you or anyone you know is in Mississippi, Alabama, or Louisiana today I suggest you get in touch and verify they are aware of the dangerous weather today and are prepared.

This is not something to be trifled with. This is a legitimately extremely dangerous situation.

I stayed up way too late last night, but I got lucky with the clouds.

Here's a quick and dirty edit of one of the frames I got last night during the #lunar #eclipse

Here's the final pic I got on March 1st.

This one is of the M96 Group, which is a group of galaxies (including M95, M96, M105, et al). Check out the annotated pic to know which is which.
