Back in 2018, the Oscar-winning writer/director Quentin Tarantino was working with J.J. Abrams on a very different kind of Star Trek movie. The film was based on an idea of Tarantino’s and it would have been R-rated. Paramount put the movie into development in parallel with a planned “Star Trek 4” followup to Star Trek...
NASA’s 46-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft has experienced a computer glitch that prevents it from returning science data to Earth from the solar system’s outer reaches.
Pretty interesting to see the changes in the sun from just a couple days ago. It's awfully easy to just grab 3 minutes of frames on the sun after a nighttime imaging session, so I'll keep them coming. I do need to figure out the proper orientation since my telescope is on an equatorial mount and rotated 90 degrees from that axis. I'll just keep it consistent so when I figure it out I can rotate the images.
Fun in the sun! Rather than its normal night owl duties, my telescope was pointed at the sun to capture some images. I used a homemade solar filter, pointed the scope at the sun using NINA, and then used FireCapture to grab 5000 frames of video. I then used AutoStakkert to stack the image taking the best 10%, so 500 frames. From there, Iused Lightroom for some final tweaks and noise reduction. Not bad for my first try!
Oh, hey there local star friend! Just stuck my homemade solar filter on my telescope and took a single image through the clouds. I can already see some sunspots if I look closely. More to come for sure! 😎🌞
