I'm looking for a venue to post my astrophotography instead of Instagram because I don't want to support misinformation and sites that streamline radicalization. Not sure if mastodon is the place yet. But here's a smart telescope image of the orion nebula (Messier 42).
in reply to GQ Martinez

And another one with the same smart telescope (an inherited Vaonis Stellina) with a mosaic to increase the field of view. Previous image was 15 minutes of exposure time, this one is about an hour and 10 minutes. Mosaic means less integration time at each section, and you can see slightly less detail in the orion nebula even though I imaged it longer. Nebula to the left is barely noticeable.
in reply to GQ Martinez

After a month since those last images, I had a single clear night to try one of my wide field imaging setups (AT60ED scope with ASI2600MC Duo camera) on my Celestron CGX mount. I did a two panel mosaic to get the orion and running man nebulas (one panel) in the same image as the horsehead nebula (second panel). I've been wanting this image for years, but weather and location have prevented it from happening. Not my best image, but excited to finally get these together. #astrophotography

On this day in 1981, the production of the Delorean DMC-12 began.

The Delorean was a shit car. Other than futuristic doors, it was uninteresting. It was not a sports car. It was poorly designed, too heavy, and under powered with crap suspension.

If it weren't for Back to the Future and cocaine trafficking, the Delorean DC-12 would be like the Pacer. People might talk about it, if they see one rusted out on the side of the road, or in an old magazine, but no one is scrambling around for a mint condition Pacer.

Why am I talking about cars?

Bishop Budde spoke for millions of Episcopalians. Here is (then) Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, 15 Jan 2016, speaking from the sidewalk in Canterbury after the North American Episcopal Church was sanctioned for its practice of allowing membership, weddings, and ordination of LGBTQ+ members.

Sen. Fetterman has turned-out to be a very large disappointment. He's gearing to be the next Sen. Joe Manchin, it seems.
