@erfmufn @AstroTanja Good to hear. You've been quiet online, understandable. Been thinking and praying for you a lot lately.

@AstroTanja Thanks … recovery is slower than I’d like!

@erfmufn hope things are going okay your side post-surgery … thinking of you & fam. 🌟

@chucksastropho1 How many APODs is that for you now Chuck?

Woohoo! My capture of Markarian's Chain is on NASA's website, selected as the 'Astronomy Picture of the Day' (APOD): apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap260501.…

@chucksastropho1 Fantastic, congratulations!!! 🥳

@deelle22 @zwoastro @Seestar_astro Your first effort on the dedicated setup is obviously better. But man, the Seestars sure produce nice images, fast, and easy. Did you do any post processing?

@_astrodragon Beautiful. My favorite summer target.

富士山麓に一週間滞在して撮ってきた、さそり座アンタレス付近の星雲です。 日本の低空ならではの、幻想的な星雲の姿を忠実に表現するよう、努力しました。 撮影機材等のデータを、ALTに記載したので、興味のある方はご覧ください🦂

@CosgrovesCosmos Nice detail in the dust lanes. Looks good cropped in a ways.

M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, is one of the classic spring targets — bright core, sharp dust lane, and that unmistakable hat-like profile. My new 11-hour LRGB project from Whispering Skies Observatory is now posted: cosgrovescosmos.com/projects/m104-… #astrophotography

@Mon_Miel_be @SpaceScience_ Lol. Me too. Astrophotography. Bees too. My third is boardgaming.

@SpaceScience_ J’ai des centres d’intérêt variés…

Envoyez vos meilleurs photos là j’veux voir un peu vos talents de photographe peu importe le domaine Je commence 🔭

@Kdenny_astro Nice pallette, nice round stars!

My shot of the Rosette Nebula taken with a Hubble-palette technique! About 3 hours of integration time (1 hour per channel) at 311mm, f/4.

@USSBarclay Fantastic! How much integration time?

4月16日に撮った、かみのけ座M100です。HII領域の赤ポチが予想外に良く写りびっくりしています。 HEUIB-IIフィルターの効果絶大といったところでしょうか。 思いのほか良く写ったので思い切り大きくクロップしてみました。 #M100 #NGC4321

@linker591 @LtNo2 @vbioret 66 hours. Dang. Good job. Even looks great zoomed in.

66 heures de pose sur la Galaxie M106.Voici le résultat d'un belle collaboration avec @LtNo2 ,@vbioret ,Martial,Alain et JD.Le genre de projet un peu fou qui permet de révéler les merveilles du ciel de notre immense univers.Bon ciel💫 #Astrophotography Full et infos ici:⬇️ 1/2.😀

@chucksastropho1 Wow. Stunning is right. Great image.

My latest capture - a stunning "face-on" spiral galaxy (NGC 3344) located roughly 20–22 million light-years away in the constellation Leo Minor. It is sometimes called the Sliced Onion Galaxy due to its appearance. It is roughly half the size of our own galaxy.

@cru1960 Nice work. Stars all the way to the center, core not blown out. Beautiful. I love globs. Thanks for sharing.

@erfmufn Praying a lot for you dude. Very glad to hear you're home.

I am home after 19 harrowing days in hospital where I stopped breathing after surgery and spent 10 days in the ICU. My hair is growing back patchily after chemo made me bald. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck and can only walk slowly. That was hard but necessary to remove the cancer in my stomach, so I don’t really have a stomach anymore. My weirdest symptom today is “an impending sense of doom” every time I eat. It’s a thing apparently. I hope that goes away before I develop an eating disorder. Anyway I’m so happy to be alive and with my family again! Thanks to everyone for their support and kind words. ❤️

@ismiseleo @latestincosmos 👍

@ChadReznicek @latestincosmos I stand corrected. You’re right, they are two antennae galaxies merging.

This beautiful nebula doesn’t have a name, let’s give it one!

@ismiseleo @latestincosmos It does exist. Actually NOT AI. Pretty cool. Oh and it does have a name. The Antenna Galaxies.

@latestincosmos It doesn’t have a name because it doesnt exist. All nebulae have official designations based on observations from telescopes or ground-based surveys. The real Heart Nebula vaguely resembles this though.

@latestincosmos Wrong. It does have a name. But it's a galaxynot a nebula. Specifically NGC 4038/NGC 4039 or Arp 224, known commonly as the Antenna Galaxies. Popular advanced astrophotography target. They were discovered by William Herschel in 1785. nasa.gov/image-article/…

@jondelarroz I think movie 8 and therefore movie 9 and the bastard sequels would have been SO MUCH BETTER if when Kylo Ren invited her to join him she said YES! That would have compared to "I am your father" shocking cliffhanger. So yeah a version where she's bad is on the right track.

Disney's Star Wars ended with Rey Palpatine declaring herself a Skywalker and the galaxy clapping. Here's how to fix it and build something that actually lasts. Luke Skywalker had a secret. Fans who read Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire always knew it: Mara Jade, former Emperor's Hand, the woman who swore to kill Luke and ended up marrying him instead. In the fix, Luke saw what Rey was becoming years before it happened. He hid Mara and their son Ben (named for Obi-Wan, not the Kylo Ren knockoff Disney gave us) on a Outer Rim backwater, left no record in any Jedi archive, and told nobody. He went to his island to die as a decoy, drawing the darkness toward himself and away from his family in a true patriarchal sacrifice. Ben Skywalker finds the Force the way his father did. Alone without an academy, and no lineage he can point to. Just a farm kid who keeps hearing things he can't explain and dreams in lightsaber colors. Word reaches him through a chain of old rebels: a woman named Rey Palpatine has dissolved the New Republic Senate, declared herself Empress, and is building something in the Unknown Regions that makes the Death Star look like a warning shot. Nobody calls her Rey anymore. She goes by Empress Palpatine now, and she likes the sound of it. Ezra Bridger is old. He came back from wherever Thrawn took him, spent twenty years trying to rebuild something quiet, and now he's the last functioning Jedi in the galaxy. He finds Ben the same week Ben finds him. Training is short and brutal. Ezra doesn't have time to be gentle, and Ben doesn't want gentle. He wants to fight. Finn knows exactly how bad this is. He served alongside Rey. Watched her justify every shortcut, every cruelty, every "just this once" until there were no lines left. He's been organizing resistance cells on the Mid Rim for three years, winning small and losing big, waiting for someone with a lightsaber who isn't on the wrong side. When Ben shows up, Finn reads the situation fast: this kid has his father's instincts and none of his father's patience, which is either going to win the war or end it badly. Finn also knows Rey's weakness. She has always fought to be seen, her vanity is the ultimate problem. The superweapon isn't really a weapon, but more a monument. A message to the whole galaxy that says she exists, she matters, she chose her name and she chose right. Destroy the monument and you don't just win a battle, you break her argument. The assault on the superweapon runs like the Death Star run with one difference: it works and Rey survives. She escapes into the Unknown Regions with her loyal Sith acolytes, wounded and furious and ready to strike back in flim 2. The New Republic gasps back to life. Ben is not celebrated, in a twist from the originals. He's not an attention seeker. He slips out before the speeches start. That's where the trilogy opens. Rey in the dark, building again. Ben Skywalker carrying a name the galaxy doesn't recognize yet. Finn holding the resistance together with stubbornness and institutional memory. And Mara Jade Skywalker, finally stepping out of hiding now that her son is in the fight, bringing forty years of hard-won intelligence about the Emperor's old networks. What do you think? Would this redeem the Star Wars franchise?

@serchavez Nice soft processing, I like the saturation levels.

Hi! I'd like to share a few of my astrophotography pics.

@erfmufn Been thinking and praying for you a lot dude. Thanks for the like on my Messier Marathon vid while you are going through crap.

I watched Artemis launch live from my bed during a blood test and the nurse was excited that I was excited. Since then I’ve been on a 24/7 ketamine infusion with oxycodone rips so I too, went to the moon.

Completed a Messier Marathon, 109 of 110 objects with the @Seestar_astro S50 and S30 Pro in one night! Here's a quick 2 min vid to let you experience that night with me. Thanks to everyone who's helped teach and inspire me. Keep looking up! @AJamesMcCarthy @erfmufn @AstroBackyard
