Very nice. Despite smoke from a nearby fire this afternoon, I grabbed this a few minutes ago. iPhone to my Questar 3.5
I am an astronomer and a student of history, although not necessarily in that order. Weapon of choice is my Questar Seven.

Now if they could just stop doing that to so many Americans….
Fingers crossed. They’re wonderful. When you can see them without having to leave home, they’re spectacular…
…and if we pay attention to it.
Simply delicious!!!😍
So now that you’ve defined it, what are you going to do about it?
What a fucking waste of money. Didn’t alligator Alcatraz cost the taxpayers something like $350 million for 24 pop-up tents and some chain-link fence? Where did all the money go?
Hell I hope he’s dying from >anything<.
Nope
That ‘he’ died? I’ll take it from Tucker Carlson. Hell, I wouldn’t care if Walter Cronkite came back from the dead just as long as I can hear the words.
One of the true greats of the 20th century. Watch this… ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ youtu.be/VIR5ps8usuo?...
So do I…
Oh look! There’s American democracy, being fed to the lions…
It’ll take 100years for the historians to figure out how the GOP could give themselves up for this criminal piece of shit, and 200 more to fix America - if it can be fixed. Our children and our children’s children will suffer the worst of his fate.
Klaatu barada nikto 😉
I’m going to see if @alpo-astronomy.bsky.social can help out.
Great catch! If I didn’t know better I would have thought the aliens had arrived. 😉
Not all subs are heroes, but all heroes are subs! 🤪
💔
Social media.
Another distraction. Three card Monty shell game.
They can keep their cheese.
@cometman.bsky.social
Great video
Oh my God!!! We didn’t know that!
What A Fucking Piece Of Shit
And a piece of shit.
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.
George, we’re screaming so Goddammed loud our throats are bleeding.
Good. Well said.
Make sure that fuckwad doesn’t steal the artwork and silverware
Only 2x?
Lucky!
“…must be…?”
Yep. Exactly.
iPhone?
Why don’t we just set up a gofundme campaign for whoever does what truly needs to be done?
He looks like Woody Allen! 😜
Very nice. We’ve had clear skies lately in the lower 48, where the lunatics are running the asylum… 😉 Here’s a morning 30-second shot from a few days ago getting photobombed by the ISS…
Never saw it… if you caught it, please post a pic… I’d love to see it.
I have a hard enough time not being one of the people in the Progressive TV ads, and now this…
Now do Trump
Luckily, we have a nice low eastern horizon, so it’ll be difficult, but not impossible; I’ll be looking for it. Here’s an older grab through my Questar 3.5.
Very nice! Here’s mine, getting photobombed by the ISS…
It’s a great feeling!
Daylight is better… it doesn’t show as much, but the iPhone doesn’t go berserk…
Try slo-mo next. You’ll like it!
Whether or not Newsom can carry the ticket and the country, I resent Dems thinking they have to resort to the same level of base stupidity employed by Trump cult followers.
Clear skies here… the usual suspects, with Mercury peeking out from beneath the trees.
I have just learned that at 4:29am Pacific time tomorrow morning the ISS will pass directly between the Moon and Pollux. I’ll try for either a video or time lapse, depending on what works best.
Caught a piece of it at 5:30 Pacific today: the Moon, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury (low, at arrow), plus Castor and Pollux. Earth is in the foreground. 😉
We won’t be happy until he starts building crematoriums.
Trump is the worst president since George III.
“Spoken like a true human…,” said Zoran, who can look directly at the planet Tralfamadore, thirteen times the size of Jupiter, from his bathroom window.
What a piece of shit he’s let himself become. His children, and his children’s children, will despise him for the rest of their days.
Please share when finished…👍
It’ll be a near miss for us in NA, but (at 6% full) the Moon, Venus, and Regulus should make for a beautiful morning sight… good luck! Enjoy!
Yes, but it’s still illegal.
Only if conditions mirrored or were thereabouts (close yo identical conditions if not particulars) to our own, I’d expect.
So he could walk in on them in their dressing rooms and grope them? Or, I dunno… something else…?
People need to understand that the meeting today between Trump and Putin will have gone very well according to Trump, because he simply does not give and has never given one shit about Ukraine, because it means nothing to his personal wealth. This is all a big circle jerk, and we’re in the middle.

Not like in >your< pic! 🤣🤣 I only got to see them one at a time.
Thank you! To you, too… 🔭👍
Maybe he’ll give them a discount when they print the swastika on the label.
I’ll be heading up to a Bortle 3 viewing site at about 5400’ so fingers are crossed.
Great pics.
Very nice!!! Here’s one of my better grabs. 3:32am Pacific under moonlit skies. iPhone… 30 second exposure.
Why? Has America died?
These make my pics look so… boring! 🤣 Nice stuff. 👍👍
Here’s one more to get you excited about getting up way too early…😉
Here’s my nicest from this morning. Moon was a pest. Good luck!!
Very nice! Out of about 180 30-second exposures I captured about fifteen Perseids (all relatively close to the Pleiades), plus some space debris (my first ever viewing of that). Here’s one of my nicer captures…
👍👍👍
Very nice. Here’s my catch and a look at Jupiter in early morning light. iPhone to Q3.5 at 44x mag; Jupiter at 88x.
I’ll be ready. AFOV of my Q3.5 with 32mm eyepiece is just about one degree, albeit with only 44x magnification.
Actually, it’s lower.
It’s all going to go nowhere. Trump is going to just jerk off in front of everybody, Putin is only going to do what he wants to do, and if Zelenskyy knows what’s right he will stop talking to the United States and work directly with Europe. His country‘s future is at stake. And the world order.
He wouldn’t know the difference.
Very nice! (I don’t know how you keep the full moon from burning out your images…). Here’s one that I caught last night. Not bad, but none that I saw were very bright.
The North American nebula was my first real astrophotograph, taken back in 1983 by piggybacking my Canon 35 mm SLR onto the back of my Questar 3.5 with a five or six minute exposure onto Kodak high-speed Ektachrome. I wish I still had the pic. Beautiful shot… 👍👍👍
If my wish comes true, there will be a State funeral within the week. I mean, if you’re going to dream, dream big.
…or, wherever our moron with the black Sharpie says it will go.
Now spend as much time telling people what services are going to be cut, versus just telling us that they’re lying about saying they’re protecting it.
SDA?
Give it time…..😉
Please post articles you’re promoting as ‘open/free’ without me having to sign in to read them. It’s a nuisance!
People need to realize that Trump hates America and Americans because we hate him. It’s as simple as that. He never got the respect he wanted when he was a conman real estate daddy’s boy flunkie in New York. Bloomberg told us all years ago. He knew it, and he told us so.
Thanks! Yours, too… (I used to work in Emeryville…👍 small world).
I’ll be out.
Thank you for posting an article that doesn’t require a subscription to read!
