I’m planning to start on this next week! (That’s when it first appears out from behind a tree in my backyard at Astronomical dark).

23 years doing so and that was the worst that happened, so I’m happy.

Confession time: I did exactly this when I deleted a table meaning to delete some rows. Fortunately, it was in a test environment, but it cost our off-shore dev team a day of work because I never noticed and couldn’t fix it until the next morning.

I love how this color palette really brings out the subtle wisps of dark nebulosity within the bright areas.
7 hours and 10 minutes of exposure time over 4 nights in August 2025, and a considerable amount of hours on the computer went into the making of this image.

The techniques I've been learning involve mixing color channels and using color masks to target adjustments to specific areas of the image. This is the color palette used in a lot of Hubble images.

Maybe with quantum teleportation? 😁

I am an astrophotographer. I started in the 1990’s and have recently returned to it after retirement.

Imaged using a Fujifilm XT-3 camera and the Fujifilm 100-400mm zoom lens. Tracked but unguided using a SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro mount. 58 30-second subs, ISO 1600 at f/5.6.

Is there chocolate available within a 30 mile radius? Because if so, I’m suspecting a lack of commitment.

I so wanted to capture the transit of Io last Saturday night with my C11, but family obligations got in the way. Very nice work!

I moved to Santa Barbara the day before the Painted Cave Fire broke out. The fear and panic is something I will never forget.
