iPad OS be like “what if we put the most powerful personal computer processor in the world into a Game Boy”

While I was enjoying looking at this incredible phenomenon, I had a device that was continuously counting photons. Several days later, I told a computer to do some math on the photons counted, and this is the result.

So many photos from the eclipse. I don't know what to do with all of them. Here's one of my favorite single subs. This was from just before the end of totality, and the prominences were incredible

Flamingo Tongues (the name of this snail) are fun to photograph and look at, but they are a menace to soft corals, secreting chemicals to dissolve the coral so they can digest it. They often leave a trail of destruction behind them as in this image. The snail is moving upward to devour more polyps.

@hockey I love the #pwhl rule that a shorthanded goal ends the power play

Does anyone else like garlic? I spent about 32 hours collecting data on the Garlic Nebula. Well, I guess my camera spent the time, not me. This is a very faint nebula and could probably use 80 hours.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, from about 2,400 light-years away

With a surprising run of clear nights over the last couple of weeks, I've been able to gather a ton of data on a bunch of different targets, but I am still looking for more on most of them. I was able to finish this photo of the Jellyfish nebula, though. This is one I've wanted to do for a while but kept getting distracted with other things.

I've spent a large number of nights the last month and a half or so fighting with my mount to try to get a good image out of my C8. This is the result. It's about 24 hours of good data. I think I used less than half the data I collected.

Here's the project I've been working on during the latest new moon cycle. NGC 1333, called the Embryo Nebula by some, but one of the alternate names in Stellarium is the Phantom Tiara. I like that name better, so I'm going with that.

Well, I meant to post this last week, but work got in the way of actually processing it. The Ghost of Cassiopeia is a popular target in the Northern Hemisphere this time of year. I see it with narrowband filters a lot, but I prefer it in broadband. The thing that gets me about this is it's about 25 hours of integration, and I'm only just starting to see some of the faintest parts. I'll probably come back to this next year to try to bring out more of the dark nebula.

I was finally able to get enough data to consider this completed. The Crescent Nebula and surrounding nebulosity. I ended up with about 15 hours of narrowband data with a ALP-T dual narrowband filter, then I added about 1 hour of broadband data for the stars.

My latest version of the Triangulum Galaxy. This image combines full color broadband data collected last November, and narrowband hydrogen-alpha data collected recently. I think this is my most successful combination of broadband and narrowband data to this point.

Quiz: Without looking it up how old is the 19-inch wide/1.75in rack-unit form factor for servers?

Reply with your guess! I'll post the answer in a reply, don't cheat.

Even bigger project! I spent over 31h imaging this two-panel mosaic of the Elephant Trunk nebula. This area is jam-packed with colorful emissions and strange dusty structures. Which do you like better? Foraxx + boost (first) or HOO (second)

Photobombed by an asteroid again, this time 914 Palisana. It's cruising around in the inner asteroid belt, a rock of around 80km size.

Funnily enough the asteroid is named after a fellow Austrian.

My most recently completed image: the Cocoon Nebula and surrounding dust. This image used data from last summer, and this summer for a total of about 19 hours. I may eventually add more data, but for now it's on to new things.

Currently working on adding dark mode to our app that’s been developed and grown over 15 years. 😅

I would like to thank whoever added !important to the CSS spec.

Between travel and clouds/rain, it took me two months to get enough data for this image. Lots of nebulosity near Sadr, including the reflection nebula NGC 6914
