This photo looks fake, but it is not, and it is taken with a mobile phone. Plus I did no editing:


These are the islands where I live, and the wonderful night sky. You can see the Pleiades in the left top side, and that bright one top center is Jupiter:

4 minutes exposure with Pixel 4A.

Our TROM Call now requires a username and password in order to create a call. This is stated on the main trom.tf website. The password and username are "tromcall" and it will create a unique call session every time. Therefore it can be used by anyone.

Now it should be a lot more reliable than before.

A perspective photo that I really like. The moon and the bus. This is straight out of my phone - no telescope or binoculars, and no editing.

What is the best p2p chat application that does not rely on servers? We plan to change the default qTox app for our TROMjaro. Jami is the best one on the list so far, but if you know any let us know. #tromlive #p2p #opensource #foss #privacy

Ok but this is a very very old post. I wonder how relevant it still is.

Not a worry at all!


Look at this....just a few hours at the beach collecting plastic. At one of the most clean beaches around, that they clean almost daily:


It is terrible....

This is the best photo I could take of Saturn...

Only edited a bit the contrast/luminosity. Taken with Pixel 4A and Celestron 130 SLT. I know that people usually take such photos from lots of frames and they stack them together with specialized software, plus do a lot of editing after. Yeah their results are many times better, but for one right now I do not feel like spending hours to edit/create such a photo, and second when is the editing too fake? Too much? If you use special programs to reconstruct pixels on a low quality photo....then is almost like adding bits that are not even there....idk...

At least this sort of photo is one that I enjoy taking by looking at Saturn through my phone's camera live, and taking a brief photo. Then edited it for less than a minute.

Feel good about the photo. Saturn is a tough target. It's actually pretty dim compared to Jupiter and Mars, and Venus of course.

Yup true! It was also lower on the horizon and even half moon. So bad conditions.
