OT:
Recent (End of August) redux of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) using the new camera with the 430mm telescope.
One of the brighter nebulae captured near zenith for about 2 hours, so minimal post-processing needed (mainly denoising and sharpening)
Though we had clear, dark night skies in September, when i was on vacation and i returned with rainy, cold weather.
Still no newer pics to date
Hoping on winter ("Galaxy Season"), when there should be less moisture in the air.
EDIT: I plan to shoot the lower right area, where the most defined red (Hydrogen-Alpha) gases are located, with four times the resolution/magnification, but i (probably) need a better guiding camera first. This one will need 8 hours of exposure for the same signal quality, but it could be done in November or December within a single night. Wish me luck.
can't someone nuke the shit out of this whole middle east region? such a bunch of retard countries, unbelievable.
You need to understand (unless your post was ironic): Nukes were not made for making war, they were made to prevent war.
Yes yes I'm working on a way to collapse the entire universe to create peace once and for all
There's a mind trick for kind of doing that (in reverse, actually), but it only gives peace for one. If everybody would be doing it regularly, we could achieve quite a similar state of being
The collapsing variant would take a lot of "time", or a near infinite amount of parallel events, which can't be triggered locally, i guess.
